Bobby


I Tivoed the movie Bobby this morning, and I am currently watching it while deciding what to create next. I had to come comment on it, because I am only a half hour into the movie, and I just want to know who isn't in this movie!!! I don't think I have ever watched a movie with this many stars in it! Ok...that is all I wanted to say! Have a lovely Sunday.

UPDATE: After watching the movie I have just one thing to say...WOW!

Pendant Craze!

I have started a new craze of late... making pendants. I go through phases, right now its the pendant phase craze...or the pendant craze phase (PPC or PCP) I shared the PMC pendant I made last week, this past week I have been making glass pendants, and today I have been making pendants out of building blocks I bought from TheLittleChickenCoop.



Aren't these blocks the coolest? Right now I am kind of limited on what I can do with them, but I'll be getting out the trusty dremel soon...I'll soon be making a lot more than pendants!

I'll get around to taking pictures to share soon!

Ahhhh...Success!

I thought I'd take a moment and define success for me. It is one of my goals in 43 things...and aside from that its one of the themes for EtsyBloggers Blog Carnival. To be honest this is tough. Success, at least in the business aspect would be, at least at first making a couple hundred dollars a month. Something to sustain my beading habit. I think Success often changes it's mind. Success may want more. Success would be making something new every night (HA!) and listing it the next day. OK maybe thats a stretch...but making something new every other night could be done. I haven't been successful in this. I love to procrastinate. I really have no excuse other than my love of procrastination. I have even thought out a plan, so that I could post something new everyday. My plan is to make items (obvious) take pictures, when its sunny. Write out the description in Word or something then everyday I'd just have to take 5 whole mins to copy paste and upload photos. No big deal really. I just have to do it...like all things!

On the other hand, I am working towards it slowly. Its hard to work in this chaos I call a studio...and I have been working on cleaning it up at least 3 days a week. So I think I am slowly working towards being successful.

still working!!

I am still working on the "studio" I have gone through all the beads and now I am working on the closet and then the desk. I haven't been working as long on the non bead parts as I did on the bead parts. I just wanted to hurry up and get to the beads! I have made a couple pieces. Both different types for me. I'll try to post a pic next time I'm here.

I never knew!!

OMG! I never knew it would take this long. Just last night I finished sorting out my beads. And, I know thats not all of it...so I guess I didn't finish. I did however, finish sorting out the beads that are in bead trays. It looks so good! The top of my side desk looks a lot better. I still have a lot to go though. I guess the next thing I need to work on is the inside of my desk. If I get the inside done, I'll have more room for everything...and perhaps more room for the all important bead!! :)
