I got a very nice invitation in my inbox today, from my spectacular Mom. And, holy shit did it bring up a lot stuff in my brain today, as communication with my Mom sometimes(often) does. And this was just an e-vite…that’s it. But it was an e-vite to a home jewelry party, for a company [...]

Ridiculous, I know. Everyone loves blogs. They have become so common-place that it’s probably not even cool to actually say that out loud. But honestly, I love them. They remind me about that I still (generally) like humanity. And, they have kind of saved my life these past few days. Because I answer phones to [...]

The title of this post says it all, and Kang and Kodos said it best. I maintain that I am twirling towards freedom…like a toy top on crack. Freedom might simply be the edge of the table that the top spins off of… Where the hell has April gone? Where the HELL!? I have missed [...]

I have landed a sweet new job. I have landed an appearance in another treasury. I have landed the 60th item to my Esty shop. Life is very good.

Woot…I’m in another one! And it’s a beaut…dig the sweet sunshiny treasury compiled by the lovely LisaHolley, a fellow member of the Starving Artists Etsy Team!  

This evening, as I’m deeply researching alternative ways to promote my sweet little Antoinette to the world (I like to think that perhaps my jewelry could contribute to world peace…or the abolishment of universal unfairness…but of course, these are lofty aspirations, I’d settle for ‘Antoinette Designs: Global Bringer of the Pretty!’) Mike and I hear [...]

Ok, so I’m on my way to bed, and I decide to check my Etsy show once more, tuck it in for the night (really, it’s an addiction, and I needed one last hit!) and decided to head over to www.craftopolis.com to see my Treasury West listing all officially listed…like I said, it’s an addiction! [...]

Yay: I’m in a treasury! Hooray! My first ever! My Sweete Poole pendant was chosen for a “Spring Break” themed Treasury West! That was a pretty sweet thing to wake up to! Yay: I finally got to fire a full kiln load of new work that will hopefully get uploaded this week…and finally finished Mike’s [...]

  Gosh I just loves ‘em. Getting hearts on Etsy is my new drug…nothing makes me so buzzed to get back into the studio as a new heart from some random stranger. It takes the sting out of lousy shows (like last weekend) and puts the shine on the promise of future ones, it pumps [...]

I know it’s technically over, but it’s still my birthday until I go to sleep…in a few minutes…Why this might’ve been the best birthday ever… 1.) Got to spend it with Mike. And, intermittently, T-Doggg. And chocolate. Lots of it. 2.) Mega sleep in. 3.) Mega breakfast. Cream cheese and raspberry crepe, bowl of cafe [...]
