The journey to an e-commerce site for my unique jewelry continues. The saga of image preparation and detail shots are looking incredible. The dozen or so products that are loaded into the site have some descriptions. I should have known from being in the industry: the number 1 reason for project delay is content. You [...]
The Secret of Procrastination
Who Else Needs Time and Money
This last day of April comes with some confession and focus. Focus #1: I am quickly working on my products on line. Confession #1: I am working under stress to have something totally cool to announce at our upcoming meeting in a few days. Last week I was lamenting about the perils of creativity and [...]

Warning: I’m Sweating Out The Dream Organization Ideas
Spring. Baby deer in the yard, wild turkey walking through. Temperatures above 90 degrees. My face has melted into my chest. I’ve always associated a lack of organization with creative people, and have accepted my junk as part of the process. Piles on my desk, filing cabinet, bead magazines teetering off my beading table. My [...]
Double The Pressure, Double The Panic
You know that promise I made all the way back (last week) about the site being up? I forgot to take my own advice, that I always give my clients, and just get something out there. So in lieu of an actual ecommerce site for the world to see, I did research. Where can I [...]
How I Reincarnated An Old Dream
I had a great opportunity this evening to reconnect with a bunch of women who helped me find my voice, both literally and figuratively, a long time ago.

How To Name Your Jewelry Creations
Last week I had burning plans to create some space and organize my beading insanity work space. I could have sworn the cabinet that I talked about using was still sitting in the garage. I swear it was there a few weeks ago. It only took 5 minutes searching and my husband and I suddenly [...]
How Space Is The Final Frontier
No matter how much room we have for our crap belongings, we run out of space. The joke/warning we got when we moved into this house 6 years ago, and quadrupled the kitchen size, was that “It will be full in 6 months”. It only took 5 months to do it, and not one empty [...]
How The Meeting Makes Me Give A Round Of Applause
Please don’t hate me… I don’t get hung over. It’s genetic. I do enjoy cutting loose since I have so few opportunities to these days, my ability to go from buzzed to sloshed takes no time at all. I’m out of practice! What makes the process so fun (8 women… not drinking) is that we [...]
