Poor neglected blog.
No posts since 2012...
...when I was creating mostly stamped metal clay pieces.
Fast forward to 2016.
I have a dream studio
where I can work late into the night.
I'm a nighthawk.
It's full of antiques that make me happy.
And tools.
Lots of tools.
I have health limits. I can make jewelry at my own pace.
Handsome hubby has retired.
We like to travel. #PablothePom
I can make jewelry while camping.
Now there's time for me to grow as an artist.
I have a website,
I'm developing seasonal lines.
I sell at retail locations.
I founded a local jewelry guild.
My jewelry has won awards.
I've been published.
(Ok... it was just a wee bench tip. But I'll take it!)
I do two local summer shows in Betsy the vintage boler...
I feel a lot of...
But...
I'm overwhelmed.
Mostly it's that I do everything myself.
I don't trust others with my vision nor can I afford help.
I source out all my materials, deal with inventory, do my social media posts, manage my webpage & email, meet customers and do accounting.
Oh... and I create!
(...if there's any energy left. Lately, there isn't.)
Sometimes, it's just easier to procrastinate in the face of all the work.
Big Picture Dream.
Rebrand to "dlf jewelry".
Why?

I need to win the lottery to make this happen.
Or win a scholarship to Multiply Your Profits from Flourish & Thrive!
Wouldn't that be winning the lottery?
