This week I turned 68 ! I celebrated with a BIG chocolate fudge cake and these beautiful Roses.
I especially love the vase. My cats can't figure out how tip it over .....yet. Some people reflect on their hopes ,dreams and goals at the end of the calendar year.
On my birthday I always spent time contemplating where I've been and where I hope to go .
This year I'm still busy with my polymer clay .
I'm still happy making my flowers.But ,I have added many more toggles to my shop.
I started my Pairs for Paws project at the Veterinary Hospital where I work
I've lost count of the number of earrings I've made.
All the profits from the sales,go to our local animal rescue

For years I have only sold beads on ETSY.
All of my ABS creations I keep for myself . My other jewelry desings are made as gifts or for private sales. However,I found I really enjoyed making simple earrings .
I decided to open a shop just for earrings and use the profits to purchase supplies for Pairs for Paws
I am having fun with my second shop and have made a few sales !

I don't foresee any more major craft/art projects in the coming year
But ,you never know ..so many beads ...so little time
I would like to try working with metal . I love the look of etched pieces.

I could probably give up housework all together and gain some extra time .
Happy Birthday to me .

ReplyDeleteSounds like you have a busy but very fulfilling life. How awesome that you raise money for an animal rescue! I keep wanting to find one to volunteer at, but I'm pretty sure I'd try to adopt all the dogs. :)

ReplyDeleteGood luck in all you do!
