Things are looking up!

Last night I got a sells provillus
call from a lady I used to work for requesting some information on the quilts that I make and sell.  So I gave her the lowdown on the prices, the different types of quilts and the different sizes.  Well I have to tell you all that I was quite speechless when she asked if I could make her THREE queen sized quilts by Christmas.  Yes, I can do the work, but it's a pretty tall order.  Not only did she agree with my original prices but she also stated that if I can have these quilts done by Christmas she will throw in a small bonus.

So, I bet your wondering what my answer was, aren't you?  I said yes.  So now I have quite a bit of quilting to do.  But I don't mind.  Once all these items are finished, I'm going to see a pretty good pay check.  And, just in time for the holiday season!  I can't believe that I'm going to say this, but I hope no one else wants a quilt any time soon.

Jeweler’s Block

What is this, do you ask?  Well it goes along the caralluma fimbriata for
same lines as "writer's block".  Right now I have a serious problem.  For the life of me, I can't think of a single piece of jewelry to create.  I have tons and tons of supplies, so that is not the problem.  It's just that I have made so many necklaces and bracelets, that I'm having a real difficult time trying to come up with a new theme for another one.  It's a shame actually as the more pieces of jewelry I make, the bigger the profit is for me.  But even knowing that everyday that I don't create I don't make any money, isn't helping me out here either.

So, what do you all do when you have a "block" of some kind??  Do you just walk away for a period of time (which I have done for the past two weeks) or do you digging around for some inspiration?  I would really love to hear your thoughts on my most serious problem.

Another new project

I know that I really should finish crafting projects that I have started before I begin new ones, but I really can’t help myself.  Right now I have some pieces of caralluma and hoodia
homemade jewelry that I really need to finish, my daughter's knitted afghan, a pink and purple quilt,  and three different scrapbooks.  But, I start to get bored with what I'm doing so I start something new.

Last night I set up my printer so I went browsing the Internet for some free plastic canvas patterns that I could download and print.  Well I found two different bathroom sets that I'm going to make to put up for sale on my crafting site.  Now that I have the printed patterns, I want to start making them.  I know I should wait until I have  some of my other projects finished before I start on it.  But if I know me, within the next couple of days I will be hauling out all my plastic canvas supplies. lol

Business is booming

Many of you may not be aware that I have just recently started a brand new home crafting business over at Simply Crafting. So far things are going a caralluma diet
little slow, but business has started to pick up. A little over a month ago a friend of mine commissioned me to make her a quilt. Well I am happy to report that this quilt is almost finished and I did give my friend a sneak peak of her quilt. She loves it!! She loves it so much, that she has already asked me to make her TWO more before May 1. Because of the type of quilt it is, I already agreed to these two quilts in this time frame.

So, I am extremely happy to report that business is picking up. I also have a knitted afghan on the go that I will eventually be selling as well as trying my hand at home made jewelry. So, although right now the orders coming in are kind of slow, I have no doubt that very soon business will be booming.

New Hobby

Yes, it has happened again. I have gotten bored with my current crafting projects. So, I have decided that I want to of caralluma fimbriata extract
try something different. I have been considering trying to make some home made and personalized jewelry. There seems to be a pretty good market for this type of work. And, if my projects don't turn out like I want them too, my daughter will end up with a lot of nice pieces of jewelry. I have bought a couple of books and after I have read them to determine the time and money that this will involve, I may just start making this type of craft. A couple of other crafts that I would like to try my hand at would be soap making and candle making. Who knows, hopefully soon I'll be able to let you all know that I'm an expert jewelry maker. LOL
