Tonight I was thinking about my life(my creative life) and how much both of my life's(personal) interact. I love the creative side and it brings me pleasure and sometimes pain. I use my creative side to make extra money and hopefully build my business to be self-supporting. Until now I did not know that I created just to be. I have fixed broken jewelry, given advice, helped fellow vendors with support, information, displays. There was a time when I thought of nothing else. I sought to have a balance in my life(personal). It is not good to concentrate so hard on something, that you lose sight of yourself and what is around you. So I sit here typing away and looking at some beads on my night stand. I need to have a balance in life(creative) as well. I need to make some jewelry and get more organized since I am back to work. I have all the makings to make money, make myself happy and those around me. Tonight I am going to deal with money(my creative side). I can spend all day on the computer and blogging, reading, answering emails and such, but I need the inventory to make a difference. So I will start with one earring at a time. This weekend I intend to reorganize my stockpile and start remaking some jewelry. Along with this idea, I will be using my paper crafts to accompany my jewelry or to sell alone. I will not sit down until I have finished reorganization, re purpose, restyle all my projects and inventory.
Here is a look of some of my earrings. Looks like a good start to me.
