What attracts you to certain blogs?

Okay, blogging is new and seems like a lot of fun right?! So I blogged about how inspired I was after watching Julie and Julia back in March of this year. Well ... I was inspired and the movie is still a must see. However,  Juila's blog (for those who saw the movie) about her new found adventure was very eye opening to me. I thought, hmmm ...why don't I do that? So I did!  Her blogging brought her a bit of success and then a movie and I was like whoa! this could be a good thing. Now, I am looking for fortune or fame, but a way out of the main stream work force and a fabulous at home gig...um yeah! Now things did not go quite that-a-way though so I have decided to simply be ok with that lol. What I have realized on this blogging journey, however, is this; my blog should be fun and interesting to read for those who so choose to read it. Julia was very inspiring to me and apparently others too.

Just read an article about a woman who blogged in the same fashion as Julia but not about food, but instead about old frumpy dresses she purchased for a dollar and turned  into hip dresses for today. Well her story was so interesting and engaging (inspiring as well) that it made it to the front web page of Yahoo! Well what do ya know! Turns out "good and engaging" blogging can turn into a pretty awesome story. Nope still not looking for fame or notoriety but a good blog and ticket away from the mainstream might be kinda nice. I believe in work, sure, but work that you love is better. Sooo back to my original point of this blog entry; I prefer a blog that is both interesting to me and to those who read it. So what makes people want to read my blog or any blog for that matter? Gotta figure this one out. Till next time, love God, love your family and friends and live life to the absolute fullest. :)

I've been Featured!

Ok so one of my shoe clip (seen above) creations from my Etsy store has been featured on a very cool blog called "sixthirtythree"

check it out here http://sixthirtythree.wordpress.com/2010/07/25/outfit-of-the-week-6-classy-cook/

along with some really other cool stuff. I am finally getting my act together and working on my store. I read a very cool blog on exactly what it takes to really get one's Etys store going. The authors response? "Hard Work". She wasn't lying either - but hey if you build it they will come!

Now to get serious about my craft

Well it is really easy to get discouraged when you see how successful others are at your craft. I have a ton of ideas but getting them out is another issue. The time the detail, etc arrrg! Man If i could put a machine to work for me I really would. Hard work, however, does have its payoff. I've not seen it here on my etsy yet but I have not really dived into my craft either sooo how do I get motivated.  How do I get serious about my craft?  So guess like my first sale on eBay, before It actually happened I was so awe struck by all the "successful sellers", until one day - I became one - lol. So here I am anticipating the day I see sells coming from my shop. But in the mean time I wait and be patient. I can only assume that in due time my shop, too, will have its dawning day. " To infinity and beyond!!!"

New Day, New Designs

So it's been about four months since my last post. Moving a lot will do that to you. In the mean time, however, I have been busy creating new design.  New pendants will be available, I am experiencing with shoe clips- fun! More daisys to come too. These take the longest so be patient with me. Lots of fun colors too. I have not made any new mary-janes but I have some new ideas stirring. So looks like I will be a worker bee - haha- I love it though. Many rewards in working for oneself. No I am not full-time yet but working on it.  My Etsy site is a little naked but not for long. I will be posting pics very soon so check back!
