I didn't want to just be a negative Nancy tonight, so here's a little update!
I haven't had a chance to take any more pictures to list things on Etsy, however I did sell a few things and I've made a lot! I also realized that this weekend is the first anniversary of my event planning business! It's only been a year, but I've already had two clients and several consultations, and I've started a generally successful jewelry business in that time as well! I'm very excited and very hopeful for the second year of being my own boss :)
I'm watching the third season of Toddlers and Tiaras, which I thought I would hate but I actually kind of love... there are a few episodes that I've turned off because the parents were just too much, but a lot of these kids are pretty sweet and they come back for a few episodes so it's fun to see them back. There are families who are clearly pushing their kids in to it to live vicariously, but I've also seen a lot of families say (after a particularly heinous breakdown) that it's time to take a break and see if this is something their kid really wants to do. Considering it costs upwards of $30k/yr... that's probably a good decision!
We're done with full day camps at work for now, which is nice, it means my brain can stop worrying 11 hours a day! Of course, now I have to plan spring break and do promotional materials for summer camp, but I'm not very motivated on that... I have to remind myself that I have to stand up to my own standards and not drop the ball just because I may not be there much longer!
Anyways, I'm off to bed-- Violet's birthday is tomorrow, she's turning 3!! They're doing a big party at one of those silly jumping places, but I'll get to see her and play with her and definitely get a picture of her in the birthday outfit I picked for her! Can't believe my girl has gotten so big!!
Just wanted to say my mom also LOVED the asymmetrical pearl necklace you made. Keep up the good work--my mom generally has a phenomenal sense of style, so you must be doing something right. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe!! I actually finished another one of those necklaces last weekend and I haven't had time to shoot more stuff, but if she ever feels like she's got to have one there are more coming ;)
DeleteI try to just make things that are classic-- there's some kitschy stuff, but I don't like the idea that you could look at one of my pieces and figure out when it was made.
