New year, new website. After many, many unsuccessful attempts at making and not keeping New Year’s resolutions to diet, this year, I decided to go a different direction. I designated this year as “Year of the Crafts.” I’m going to make every attempt to list more stuff on Etsy, participate in at least two craft shows, and just generally spend time elevating my crafts.

My first step was to make a new beginning on a new web site platform and WordPress, I choose you! My next step is to try something new with jewelry design. I’m excited to try copper etching and patinas and incorporate those pieces with my lampwork beads. I’m not going to lie – I was surfing Etsy and came across some pieces I fell in love with so I’m going to try to emulate that in my own jewelry.

So, here’s to a happy and productive 2013!
