Fall has arrived!

This is usually the busiest time of year for jewelry artists. Or so I've been told! I believe it. This weekend I was called twice on the phone by complete strangers that wanted to set up a party. The first is an enrichment night in October, we decided to do the pacifier clips, dangle earrings, or a cat's eye stretch bracelet. Hopefully they will do all three!

I also went to a few dog suppliers and found one called the Dog's Meow that is going to let me do a display in her store. I hope to have 20 Pet Necklaces made up ranging from 10 inches to 15 inches, all with the Princess charm. She is having a big sale that weekend and should get a lot of traffic in.

My massage therapist display is also picking up some business and I'm glad to hear that! I've also had quite a few people at work express that they plan to order some jewelry for Christmas. The pacifier clips are getting a lot of attention on eBay. I would really like to start doing one party a week, and possibly getting one more consultant signed up. That could really pull me ahead in my finances. I really do love making the jewelry so hopefully my hobby will start paying for itself.

Next to Dog's Meow is this really cute Quilting shop, and for some reason I have this desire to make a quilt now! I'm trying to get back on the diet so I need to find things that will keep my hands busy. Quilting and jewelry making should do the trick. :)

Jenn, I'm so excited for you that you have all these exciting opportunities to share your jewelry in different ways.
I just took up quilting because my mother-in-law is amazing at it. I'm in the process of making a blanket!

Aw we must get together and quilt. I might have mondays off permanently. It may become my quilting day :)
