Devine Designs Jewelry

So,it's official. I decided to quit one of my 2 P/T jobs, keeping my main one in veterinary medicine. It just became way too much to keep up with, especially with the fall show season coming, and I really need to work on creating enough inventory for all the shows I will be doing. BTW: I got into another show; found out this week, so November and December will prove to be busy months for me. Yesterday I went to my first PAVA meeting. I'm glad I joined this artist's group and wish I would have done it sooner. It's a great way to get involved with other artists, support and promote each other, and learn more about being an artist, PR, get news on events and shows, etc. I think I will learn much and hopefully grow my business as well. Here's some eye candy. Just a few new listings in my Etsy shop , now available for new homes! Brass cuff- large Brass cuff- pink Door knocker style earrings

I don't feel like I have anything to say, but I like to blog a few times a week, so I'd at least drop by and share. I think my life is boring sometimes; go to work, come home, make jewelry, read, ho hum. ANYWAY..... I've added some new lampwork beads to destash in my supply shop , still with more to add over the next few days. I did find a couple of sites to help with photography, especially of small items like jewelry, so I'll share them with you. This one is from Crafts Report , and the other one for jewelry photography is from Table Top Studio . I have yet to read over them so if you do and would like to leave me a comment, please come back and post one! I have a birthday coming up next month. I'm thinking I need a big change. Thinking of cutting off my hair for a short style and adding highlights. Maybe then I'll get over my shyness and post a photo of myself! And there's another piece of artwork in my near future, but I'll keep that under wraps for ...

There's been some major changes going on in my life lately and I wanted to blog about it. I've had a good week, relaxed, working on new projects, lots of new things on my blog, new groups, etc. So I've been feeling pretty good about these changes, then last night a friend called and asked me what I was doing, and I kind of fell off my cloud so to speak. And I started worrying..... O.k., what am I doing? I started to feel a little bit alone. You see, I haven't worked outside the house all week, haven't been around too many people, or talked to many either. Am I isolating? Let's see...what can I worry about? the bills, the car, employment, my sanity; even this blog! I know many others read this, but I started wondering about that too! Hey is anybody out there! How about posting a comment or two? I was even tense about blogging today! What is it all about? FEAR: False Evidence Appearing Real. Yes, I've had an attack of the "mind" and I'm too much ...
