Well it has been a long while! Great holidays. Got to see family. Have made a bunch of sales and even my first trade! I am on my third shift back to work. I am tired! Have been doing some nice glass lately too.

I joined ETSY's Chainmaillers guild. Great group. Really nice, interesting people. Very helpful! They are so good at chainmaille, it is crazy! Still working at the Austin team. Not hard enough I think. Did not make the meeting. My mother in law needed help in S.A. Oh well...will try again in March to make the meeting.

I finally figured out how to add crystals to this bracelet. Looks ok I think

Well the holidays are done, thank goodness! Too much.....of everything. The Bazzar was good. Very different place for a craft show, but lots of fun! I have added a bunch of new stuff to my store. Still have a bunch more I could add. Have made some nice new pieces of Chainmaille. Still don't get half of the computer stuff I am told about. Not many directions for the computer impaired. I tried to add some pictures of my last piece of glass and the process for making it. Dial up!!!!!! Will try again at my son's today. Same with the Facebook thing...can't get passed the log in to set it up. Crazy! It's hard not growing up with computers but having to use them for everything. I am the little engine that could.....still trying.

Well I am still not getting the hang of this. One article says not to talk about your shop all the time and another says no one wants to know "what you had for dinner" I guess that means personal stuff. I was told a lot of people just give up. I sure get that! I am unable to go to the ETSY Austin meetings due to my job. I don't have a job you can just leave and come back later, or get someone to replace me for a few. Not going appears to be a big no no. I hope I can get this going and help them out some how. I was going to do an article on putting together a small piece of stained glass. Got the pic. done...now to finish the glass. Until then I got nothing.
