Decisions decisions
So I have decided to devote my time mostly to my craft/s (I am now just learning to bake). I am about to quit my job and just be that quirky creative person that I always wanted to be but never got the courage to really be (get that?).
Well anyway, I should now be blogging more often as I am expecting to be able to produce more items. I am also going to incorporate mini tutorials for those who would like to learn how to do these stuff that I have been tinkering with for years.
Cheers to my decision, to my blog, to my creativity, and to my passion!

Summer summer!
I love summer! I love the sun, sand, and sea! Everything is just so colorful when it's summer. I am always inspired to create beautiful accessories when everything is sunny and bright. Take a peek at my summer collection.

The month of May: organizing and decluttering
As usual, I haven't updated this blog for a long time (as if I have a lot of followers who would miss me! eyes roll...haha!) Anyway, it's the last day of April, and May should be an exciting month for me.
I had my e-store properly designed, and I am formally launching it tomorrow (although it still needs a lot of tweaking). This is a one-woman store you know, and I do everything from designing to taking pictures, etc...I'm glad that I found someone who can do the site for me and who allowed me to advertise on their Facebook page and have my products used during their photo shoots (I know! Isn't that great? Gives me a lot of exposure). I am hoping that my business would soon take off and that it would soon be stable enough to support me. I'd like to be able to focus on it, but I still can't do that for now. So til then, I am all the manpower that I've got. I really have to be able to organize and schedule my activities well so everything will fit within 24 hours (I have a day job too.)
Another thing that I am looking forward to is having a work station FINALLY set up for me (yes!). Apparently, my mom got tired of having to shove things off the dinner table and kitchen counter where I work (no, beads don't get mixed up with our dinner, but the table cloth has suffered a lot of snags and frays due to my tools, wires, and pins hehehe), so she told me that she's having our spare room re-done and I could incorporate my work station. Yay! I am looking at installing a lot of small shelves to hold all my beading supplies, plus a place with adjustable lighting for when I take my pictures. Kaching! Kaching! I can feel a whole starting to burn in my pocket, but it's really a good and wise investment. Aside from the fact that I'd have my own space, it should solve all these back, leg, and eye problems I have every time I make my accessories. I do a lot of sitting, standing, slouching, and squinting in my current work area that at the end of the day I feel sore all over. Gotta think about ergonomics when I design my work station, and maybe when it's done I can share a picture of it here.

updating my blog
i haven't been able to update this blog lately. anyway, i have quite a lot of products whose pictures deserve to be published on this blog. i will do that tomorrow since i do not have work.
i'll be trying out cold porcelain clay tomorrow. i've researched several recipes already. i am hoping that this will work out right. i didn't really like clay when i was a child, so i don't know if i will be successful in using this medium. anyway, there is always a first time. :)
