Revamp Tuesday (#4)

Okay, this weeks revamp is another major one.  I really like this one, I think its really cute.  The original bracelet was a spiral hemp bracelet with 5 orange dyed Jade nuggets on it.  It connected together with a loop and clasp closure.  I actually remember making the first one on a rainy day, and I had this idea.  Well my idea didnt turn out so well, but I tried to sell it anyway.  This bracelet actually got a couple of hearts.  It measured 6 inches.  I listed it for $7.

This new bracelet is made with a flat macrame design.  It has one jade nugget in the middle, surrounded by black hempp.  The base measures about 7 1/2 inches, but the length of this tie together bracelet is 14 inches.  I can make this in any size.  The jade nugget in the middle may vary.

Out with the old, in with the new...

So I hope everyone had a good weekend!  I didnt, work was stressful.  But I just got to shake it off.  Right?  Just wish things would change around there.

So I met a guy.  He really likes me.  I like him too.  I dont know if I'm ready to move on from my ex though.  I still love my ex.  But he told me theres no chance of ever getting back together again.  That hurts, it hurts so much.  But I have to move on eventually right?  So I might give this new guy a chance, he's pretty awesome.  But we will just see.

I got more supplies in the mail today.  Have been making a few new things that I think I might list mid August.  I hope to start to get more sales soon.  I have some really good ideas for some of my glass pendants, but I'm just waiting for the rest of my beads to come in.

Have a good day/week everyone !!!

Happy Thursday everyone!

So its Thursday, or well, My friday.  I get to work 11 hour shifts for the next 3 days and then a 7 hour shift on Monday.  Wooo.  Although, I like getting off work at 11 am on Mondays, it give me the whole day to do whatever, really.

I think I need to make myself a schedule.  Becasue right now is Chaos.  Haha.

I got my Glass Lampwork Pendants in the mail today!  Wooo!  I have some good ideas for a few of them, a few I'm kind of lost right now but I will figure it out.  I made a bracelet that is pumpkin themed that I will put up at the end of september.  Its almost finished, but I want a pumpkin bead or something to put through the loop instead of just connecting a metal clasp like I usually do.  I'm thinking about ending my bracelets with beads from now on, or atleast when I run out of my clasps.

I'm going to be listing some beads online that I dont use anymore.  Some glass beads and some of those abc beads.  Hopefully they sell so I can make a couple of dollars.

Other than that, Blake had a speach therapy appointment again today.  We have 2 diffrent therapists come 2 times a week to our house.  This only started last week so theres not improvement yet, but I always tell Blake that people are coming to play with him, becasue thats what they mostly doo, they play.

And I thought I would share my work space with you all.  Its only my livingroom.  And I took a picture of my room, once I get it cleaned and stuff, then I might make that my work space until I move.  Which will hopefully be the end of this year to the middle of next year.  I'm ready to be away from my parents!

So heres the pictures.  I will do after pictures of my room once its all done!  Have a good day guys!

Parents livingroom where I make all my bracelets.  Blake is standing on the couch.

Where I sit on etsy half the day.  And yes, That cat (Buddy) lays there a lot.

My room needs cleaned, and I need to make it my awesome work space.
BTW, That is a mouse cage on the floor.  My mice's names are Peppy and Belle.

My dresser drawer where I keep all my suppies.  What a mess!!!

Yeah, so in debt.

My store has made me so in debt so far, and its only been open 14 days!  I bought some more hemp today, and with that my total debt is almost $300!!!  I didnt want to go over 200, but then I found some more money I spent and didnt add it up.  So yeah.  I'm thinking about clearing our some of my old beads and selling them on etsy, still trying to sell all those charms.  And hopefully get some bracelets sold.  When all thats said and done, and I reach $150 made, I might buy some more supplies, depending on what I have left.  Hopefully August will be a better month.

I made a really pretty necklace earlier, but it was hard.  Blake and my cats kept trying to eat the string.  And then it turned out too short.  It wont even fit around my neck, and I have a small neck.  So I will remake it when Blake naps or goes to bed for the night.  It is a pretty awesome necklace though.  Hopefully it will sell fast and find a good home.

I have 17 followers at the moment.  Hopefully I'm not too boreing and scaring everyone away.  But I think once I hit 50 followers I will promote someone else's blog and store.  100 followers I will possibly have a give away. 

Frankie

My cat Frankie tries to steal my cheese sticks everytime I eat them.  But why?  I mean, hes not going to EAT them.  Oh no, everytime I give this cat food, he plays with it like it s a play toy.  Crazy cat.

But I love him.

My mice, on the other hand, never try to steal my food.  Thats why they get a jewelry store named after them.  Shout out, Peppy and Belle!

Just another day...

So Work was interesting today.  Coworkers got into an argument, I thought there were going to be fists thrown.  I tried to stop it, but I was scared to get in the middle, in fear of getting hurt. 

all I want to know is seriously, why cant people just get along?

Why cant people respect their managers?

And why fight over who is going to fill the ice?

And yes, you read that right.  They were fighting over who was going to fill ice in the dining room!!

I'm glad i'm home now.  Just hanging out with my son, and maybe make a bracelet or 2.  I'm really just waiting for new beads to come in the mail before I start to make stuff.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

So here is some of my stuff...

Heres a couple of bracelets I have made. I have 25 things for sale in my etsy shop. Go check it out!
