It has
really been a long time since my last posting.
So, let me bring you up to date.
The small
business where I worked for 5 years went out of business. I am now retired for the
second, and hopefully, last time. In retirement, I have been busier than ever
with church, housework, de-stashing the house, home improvements and repairs, and taking vacations and short trips with my husband. This has also been a time for reflection on
next steps.
Working
full-time for oneself is the new venture.
As for crafting, creating jewelry somehow took a back seat. While going through my craft supplies, I
“found” yarn for crocheted shawls; so that is what I have been doing lately-
crocheting shawls and revisiting crochet as a pastime. I also opened a second Etsy.com shop- this one
devoted solely to machine embroidery work.
A lot of time has been devoted to setting up the new shop and making
inventory. While going through my craft
supplies again and reorganizing my work space, it was inspiring to re-discover my stash of beads and beading
supplies—and what I intended to do with them when I purchased them. So, I am beading again. Now that I no longer work on Saturdays,
I plan to sell my creations at more craft shows and festivals.
Lastly, I have been devoting more time to my Mary Kay cosmetics business.
