my work space and walking through a blogging Wonderland!

I took a snapshot of my jewelry workspace. Kind of a mess but that is because I do a lot of experimenting with each piece I make. I thought some people might be interested to see my workspace. Plus, I'm treating this blog kind of like my big internet scrapbook of life. I record my life, designs, progress, and etc. etc. This is definitely progress because I used to just sit on a mattress on the floor when I made jewelry. Talk about a sore back and neck!

Lately since starting this blog I've been out exploring the world of blogs, blogging, and the entire blogging community in general. Primarily I've been looking at blogs in crafts, fashion and art. I feel like there is this whole corner of the internet I've been missing out on! I never used to read blogs and thought the whole thing was kind of weird. This of course was my own stubbornness to seek out and explore something new. In the past couple days though I have started following probably 20 or so blogs. Reading other artists' successes, failures, ideas, art, and advice is so inspiring and also so helpful in navigating a realm of the internet I am not used to.

So, my piece of advice to you is to go out and explore some blog directories in whatever topics interest you. Sometimes it just takes some inspiration from someone else in your line of work to keep you pushing forward with your own goals and projects too.

That's all for now. I have to get ready because its MOTHER'S DAY TOMORROW! Just a little reminder. haha. Thanks for reading :)

Back!

Okay, so it has definitely been awhile since my last post. After the painting in the kitchen I got really distracted and am just now getting back on track. Haha. There has been lots of moving furniture around. Collison and I created a new office in our third bedroom because the other room was too small. I needed some more space for art and we needed more space for our computers and stuff in general. Now that we have this room coming together though I feel much more focused on my blog, photography and creating. :) My goal is to be posting pretty consistently. I fell off the horse for awhile but having an organized work space should help a lot now. I worked on the floor before so this is a huge step up for me. Haha.

The picture is another doodle of mine. I drew her because I wish I had hair like that! Could you imagine? lol

I realized that I don't care much for posting without a picture to include. Probably because I have a soft spot in my heart for illustrated books and such. I'm not saying books without pictures are bad. But still, I can always appreciate someone wanting to include a visual

I'll post again soon guys. Promise! Oh, and thanks for reading as always :)
