Slow Week

Ha! I was so busy I didn't get a chance to slow down & create jewelry!
I did retake some photos and I listed one of my washcloths.

Washcloth! Wash Rag! Dish Rag! Dish Cloth!
This one is in a color called Gumdrop. Each night I sit with the kids while they take their baths, and I tried reading the new Harry Potter, but with all of the splashing and fun, I couldn't follow the story in a manner that Harry deserves. All of a sudden it dawned on me that I should pull out the yarn and make something as I referee bath-time. This week's end result is listed for sale here: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5060430&section_id=5047235


I redid the first photo for the Green Quartz necklace and it shows up much better on the tan than it did on black. See it here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=6198022

New knit sterling necklace was also added to my shop. I hope I can add a few more things throughout this coming week!

2 New items up in the ETSY store

Let Me Brag!

I really love the Golden-Bronze Pearl bracelet- I've had the smaller flat-back pearls for several years, but the matching coin pearls were bought on my recent spree at the bead show. (Mermaid's Treasures went with me-- We TOTALLY blew our budgets- but we ended up with so many incredible beads!)

The twisted aventurine necklace was designed over the winter, but I wanted to add it to ETSY to add some variety to my listings.

The humidity was lower today, so I was able to take some pictures outside. I think the bracelet picture in front of the ponytail palm turned out nice. There will be several more photos with it in the background!

WHY am I doing this?

Goodness- I can't believe I'm joining the legions of Bloggers! But, I want to do a little more to promote my line of jewelry, so I'm giving this a shot! I've seen some VERY nice blogs that are interesting, informative and funny. I hope mine ends up a little like those.

I am a member of two Etsy street teams: JET and etsyBEAD.

JET = Jewelry on Etsy Team and out stuff can be found by searching for the tag JETT.

etsyBEAD = A street team for beaders. Find different themed items on sale each week by searching EBTW (which stands for Etsy Bead Theme Week.)

Right now, I am working on updating the member roster for JET. We have 275 members, but only a handful of active members. I am checking by each shop and inviting non-participating members to join in our fun.

JET has a weekly chat-thread and I feel like some of us are almost close friends! Although I don't know what anyone looks like (unless their picture is in their avatar!) I have imagined how many of these people look! Similar to how you develop the appearance of characters in a book, except I get to pick all of the features.
Some members are young, some retired, married, single, educated, hobbyist, professionals, mothers, and some are even male! (Like one of my favorites Wired http://wired.etsy.com ) JET is a wonderful mix of jewelry makers from around the world, and I am happy to be a part of it!
