The Beginning

Well, I guess I need to give this a try or fall behind the times.
I decided to focus on my jewelry design and creation, but I may stray to other subjects as time goes by.
I began making jewelry in 1995 as a hobby and a way to have more jewelry for myself.  I just could not afford to buy all the pretty baubles that I desired unless I started making them myself.  I now have way too much and so I sell on ETSY and in a few stores as well as at craft and art fairs.  I have been selling my creations since about 1996 or 1997.  I now do this as a small business and since I retired last year I'm even more focused and creative.  I plan to use this blog as a place to share my inspirations, adventures and trials as not only an artist, but as a woman in a small home-based business.
Welcome to my world and I hope you find something here to entertain, amuse or inspire you.
