Valentine's Day Preparations

Preparations.. Preparations... Preparations...

Okay so December has come and gone and already I find myself in the middle of January juggling a full time and trying to keep up with my creativity on the weekends. Its a bit harder to do than what I expected but on that same note I know from experience I have done more.

Don't get me wrong I don't want to go back to a full time plus 2 part times but this may turn out to be the cycle for 2012. I heard from one of my students and they do want me to start teaching them again (my making jewelry lessons) sometime on January but I told them it would have to be on the weekends as I have no time during the day.   However, I also work on my websites and on my jewelry only the weekends and also meet and hang out with my friends & family on the weekends. It just really means that my Sat/Sun are way too full...

So what do I have in mind for Valentines? Since I have glass hearts I'm thinking maybe some bracelets and a couple of earrings and some necklaces but with only 6 weekdays on the weekend to do this I'm not to sure if I'm being once again a little bit of an overachiever and trying to do too much on what would essentially be 3 real days of full time exposure with my wire...

So here is a sneak peak at some of the  raw materials....yes I did start working a little with some but not as much as I will like.

Once I have the finished products I'll post an update of the new bracelets. On a different note I found this really great site called skinnyartist.com they are so good!! Yes I'm even following them on twitter. They have this amazing article about how not to let yourself go too crazy trying to keep up with everything online ie. facebook/blogging/twitter/multiple online store locations.  And many other articles on my to do to read to remember list...I still have to read the generate more traffic. I'm not a master yet nor a beginner on that...

Yes, more reading added to my list... :)

Have a happy January!
