The random kindness of Etsy...someone added me to a treasury!

Someone, who I did not pay, has featured my Unakite necklace in an Etsy treasury that they curated!  I am so grateful and honored.  Thank you Crow1, where ever you may be.

I will fight no more forever...

Chief Joseph said "From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever."  That is how I feel about beads...sometimes.  I will no longer fist fight with beads.  Last night I attempted to create a 3 strand, stretchy(on Power Cord) bracelet, with 5-6 mm milifelori  glass beads.  The first attempt I had all the knots tied, and I was cutting all the noodely ends off and I snipped right through the last knot.  *Sigh*  Try again.  I put on Harry Nilsson:"Nillson Schmillson" and began to string the same beads again.  I was so delighted with the second attempt(and myself) that I guess I really didn't feel that the middle strand required the oh-so important surgeon's knot.  "I can't live if living is without you..."  Blamo, beads went everywhere.  3rd verse, same as the first.  At the end of my third attempt, and 99 inches of Power Cord later, the bead stopper that was on 2 of the 3 strands sprang off and once again I was left with a puddle of beads at my feet.  Expletive, expletive, I know when to give up.  Just for the record, I don't blame Harry Nilsson for any of it.  I will fight no more forever...with beads.  I made the above instead.

Bewildered.....but BE-JEWELED

Bewildered by how I am going to get this jewelry business to the next level...and actually sell something.  I am working on all kinds of  ways to improve what I am doing.  Taking better pictures, and this blog.  Etsy is a scream (both good and bad) and I really think that I will be able to make it happen there.  I hope, I hope!
