So ... during my "sabbatical" I've accomplished a LOT ... but the biggest thing I did was to get a part-time gig at my FAVORITE bead store -- Beadissimo!!
If you haven't been to visit this amazing place ... you HAVE to go. I have been working there officially just over a week ... and am enjoying every minute of it. I'm learning a TON and the best part is the opportunity to work with ladies (and gentlemen) new to jewelry making. I have gained SO much confidence in my jewelry making abilities ... and as much as I love selling the stuff I've made ... it's that much more fun to be around others who are also exploring the joy of beading.
Once I got my feet under me there -- back in the retail world ... HELLO CUSTOMERS -- I started to feel right at home. I get to show new jewelry makers the basics -- which up to now have mostly been reserved for my own home studio. I've gained a new level of confidence in my skill and abilities ... and I have to say ... those four years of making jewelry for friends and taking classes, as well as trying to get my own business off the ground have really paid off.
I will still be working at FH -- but spending two afternoons at the bead store as well as one day a weekend. Please do come visit ... I'll be there every Monday and Thursday from 1:30 to close ... who knows ... perhaps you can join me in the world of jewelry making!!
My bio should be up later this week or early next week ... then it'll all be so very very official!!
