FMG order got in yesterday, sorted through the grab-bags of pendants, have several "points" of adventurine and rose quartz, a bunch of curved horns in goldstone and maybe a couple of carnelian, and a handful of randomly-sized hearts, mostly in rose quartz and tiger's eye. And howdy I can NOT spell today, or maybe it's the typing....

Anyway, did some prelim work getting cords and accents and such sorted for the necklaces I'm planning to make for vending and ... for some reason I feel better.  I've been kind of "off my feed" for several weeks now, but getting back into the making things seems to have improved my mood.  I know I'm not an artist, and I don't "create" things like, say, scgraphix  does, or ursulav, I just take things that are already made and put them together or modify them a little, but it's something I need to do and I need to remember that and do it.

In Aurora, there are two farmers' market associations -- at the same park.

The one I just joined gives each member a copy of the vending license (for the city) so you can set up any day you wish.

"Regular" days are Wednesday afternoons and Saturday mornings, any day it's barely tolerable out.

Day pass is $1 day for up to 5x.

A year's membership is $15. 

Guess who signed up?

And they're trying to get access to a "certified kitchen" for members to use for jams and relishes and soaps and such.

Heee!

I will have to be relatively careful about my wares -- the little pretty bottles are "no" but if I put oils in them I mixed, that's OK.  The item-which-is-for-sale must be homemade/handmade.  But of course, massage is handmade!  So I can set the chair up too!  Wheee!

Somebody check and tell me if the links work. pls?

Just added a couple of bracelets designed to be worn with the "medical alert ID tags" to my ETSY shop -- Sis wanted some, so she has six now and I kept going!

Any ideas where else I might post to promote these?

la_colere, yours should be there in 7 - 10 days.

Well, work's been a little slow lately.  Rather than doing a layoff, we are working a 4-day, 32-hour week for the next 10 weeks.

We DO get partial unemployment for that one day off per week, or can take vacation, etc if we'd rather.

Heh..

More time to work on candles and stoof!!!!

While I realise that this may be a pain for some folks there, it's a blessing for me. 

If anyone else here is in the Springfield, MO area (think LadyBears college basketball?), how about dropping by the dealer's room at VisionCon this coming weekend? 

(Dealer's Room is FREE ENTRY, the con itself you have to pay.) 

I'll be vending my jewelry and such, but would love to meet other BPAL users!  If I know anyone's coming by, I'll bring my tiny little stash  and we can meet after and sniff and  tell stories...????


Cross-posted all over!

I like how these turned out!

Amber $35 each Top is with Garnet, Bottom with Malachite Tied off (no clasp) and plenty long enough to slip over your head.

with all the stuff i try doing! This time it's a variation of the stuff i was doing stringing semi-precious gemstone chips. Pat (at work) has a magnetic necklace.....right. So Rick now has a necklace, I have one, there are two or three (i forget) memory-wire bracelets, two necklaces.....plus other stuff i had been tossing together like the pendants where i just add a cord.....

Sigh.

Jack of all trades, master of none?
