Who Ordered the Bowl Full of Gemmies?

I've been taking a little break. Sorta'. I tried the just hangin' around, like BusterBrownKitty pictured below ... but the stump was not all that comfy. So I started to play w/all my pretty little beads (like that's sumthin' new ... NOT) and quickly found myself at the work-table every morning (yes, in my jammies). O.M.Gosh, I forget how happy I am when I'm creative!! I get so bogged down w/listing, bead sales, and shipping that I'm too tired to be creative and/or just too dang tired looking at beads to start the beading process. Oy vey.

Take a look at all the pretty little earrings in the simple little bowl....now imagine this -- I've created necklaces to match nearly every single pair!! Plus, there's another little bowl of more earrings I'm beginning to fill up (yep, necklaces to match too). Needless to say, I'm a very productive little beader!! Can't help it. Some people take a break and don't do much, for me this is like not doing much, 'cause I like doing soooo much. Yes, I know....."she must be ill." LOL

The other day while trying not to do anything -- that's not so easy to do, unless your a couch potato, (OK, I confess I have my couch potato moments) I had a "Eureka!" moment....create a Clearance Sale section at my jewelry site!

Sometimes, I'm as dense as a post. So very shortly I'll be filling up a few pg's of Clearance items (more like alot of pg's!). Have to gear up for the Holiday Shoppers, you know. If you'd like to rec' an email sale flyer, sign up at my site ... then you can snag some Super Deals!!

Eeep! Gotta' head back to the work-table....an idea just popped up in my head on how to use those chrysoprase nuggets. Stay tuned for a few more quick peeks at my NEW STUFF!

Unexpected Arrival

This morning we woke to find 2 'NEW' additions to the family....and we weren't aware that they were on their way! Skinny-minny Little Miss had her 2 tiny healthy babes waaaay back in my closet. She & babes are doing very well...behind my fall/winter clothing! :D

~ Spring Clean-Up ~

I've been spending most of my time tweaking and building websites that I partake in all over the place! It's time to prepare and freshen up things for spring. So out with the old and in with....a new attitude. I've been cleaning out files, deleting old photos + taking new photos, creating collages, and trying to learn to blog. I may not be a spry Spring ChickiePoo anymore, but this lil' FeatheredHen can still scamper around with the best of 'em!

What I've gathered and realize is that I'm a complete numbie-head with blogging. I'm soooo far behind with all that pertains to blogging. Ooofda. However, I'm a quick study! Lately, I've been snoopin' around and reading all sorts of blogs....OMG. It's overwhelming!! My attitude has been "I never thought anyone would want to read about 'me' or my life much." Blogs have always reminded me of a 1-member fan club "Hey all!! This is my personal fan club -- it's all about ME, this is what I do, this is what I like, this is what I don't like, this is what I think, this is what I did yesterday, this is what I fixed for lunch, ... blahblahblah ... People really want to know that stuff?

Hmmm.... Well, I don't think I'll be boring anyone with that sort of stuff. However when my creativity is on fire and I start mass-producing jewelry, or I take some incredible pics, or I begin to design textile folk-art patterns that I used to do....you'll see the results all over my blog! Now THAT is worth sharing!! LOL Take a little peek below....see what I mean? I always liked 'Show & Tell' best. :D
