Happy New Year 2019!

1/1/2019

It's the first day of a brand new year. A clean slate, an opportunity to start fresh; what will you do in this coming year? A blank page can be very intimidating. I often find it easier to improve upon an existing piece than to start a totally new project.  Perhaps that's why I prefer making the parts rather than the whole thing. I love making individual beads but struggle making the entire piece of jewelry. I do and often enjoy the process but it's more fun making the beads or pendants and seeing what others add to it as they make their own creations. I also like making journals but find it more fun to make the components of the journal than the finished product.

My granddaughter says that I suffer from the shiny ball syndrome and that is true to some extent. I think it is also that like many makers I just want to learn everything, try everything and just do not have enough time to do it all. This often leads to lack of follow through in my rush to try yet one more thing. One of my biggest hurdles is social media. I have good intentions but then just get caught up creating one more thing. So this year I will be focusing on posting all the things I have already made that are waiting to go to new homes. I'm also in the process of changing my studio from an upstairs room to my converted dining room. At some point I'll post pictures of that as well. As I said these are my intentions; no promises from this magpie! 


      Happy New Year, everybody!
