Back in the groove

Whenever I take too much time off, it feels like I have to relearn everything - how to make beads, how to photograph beads, how to list beads, how to...well, I think you get the picture.

Anyway, after too much time off, I am actually settling back into the routine of it. Last week was my first full week back at the torch. I had some good results and some not so good.

As I expected.

Today, I forced myself to take bead pictures (a chore I hate!) and actually got some things listed. It feels good. It feels 'normal'.

One listing in particular that I want to mention is for a pink and Chalcedony goddess. All profits from this bead will got to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, in recognition of Pink October. I'll also match the profits and double the donation. She's in my Etsy shop.

I've also been working on some Pandora-style beads. They're fun to make and very relaxing. They sort of put me in the mood for bigger and better things, so I used them as a 'warm-up' all last week. As a result, I have a ton of them. These are the ones I listed today but, rest assured, there are a bunch more. They're also on Etsy.

Thanks for checking in!
