Grr (and yet yay)

By Jamie Morgan | October 6, 2008

grr-and-yet-yay

I woke up early today and got started on my jewelry work.  Two necklaces and fifteen bracelets later I have to stop because the grip on my left hand is failing. My thumb is going numb and cramping.  

But I wanna keep working!

The projects on my desk are outpacing the space to put them in.

So this is 40

By Jamie Morgan | July 12, 2008

so-this-is-40

Hmm, the day was quiet.

I got happy birthdays from my health insurance broker, firemountain gems, tego, my sister, batdina, Amber and Newlyn.  Got a card from my aunt. Oh! Got a book from lferion on wirework that I am going to devour shortly.

Watched some Deadliest Catch (I have Fridays off from work), napped, had a slice of oreo pie in lieu of cake, went and bought a lil something at Baubles as a gift to myself, had dinner with B. Came home and we played one pathetic game of Scrabble and one of Yahtzee while watching the season premiere of Stargate:Atlantis.

Now? Bed.

Hard day

By Jamie Morgan | July 3, 2008

hard-day

It's been a hard day. Didn't get to sleep until waaaaaay late and then woke to my phone going off with a 'my laptop is frozen!' text message from one of my users.

De-listing people was harder than I thought too. There is a lot of sentiment tied up in those little clicky links and the people behind them.

I am also struggling to find my 'voice' or 'style' in my jewelry. What makes it me and makes it different from everyone else. I look at the hundreds (thousands) of people who make pieces and get overwhelmed. I don't see how I'm doing anything different. Maybe I can't. Maybe it's all the pieces together, arrayed, that make it me and my vision. I'm enjoying making the stuff and learning about a crafting business, but I'm having doubts about being able to make money at it.

I looked at the livelongandmarry community on lj and debated putting a piece up for auction, or offering the choice of an item I've already made. I talked myself out of it.

Maybe the photography, then again I consider myself a dedicated amateur and have the photo success rate of one. I haven't spent a lot of time in the last couple of years really trying to improve my skills. 

I hope sleep makes me less pessimistic.
