Spring means headaches

yea so I didn't make it into to craft show. I cried. a lot.
But I talked to some very talented local crafters who also didn't make it.  I think it was all about "who you know". Still a bit bitter but moving on. And sadly feel better to know I wasn't the only one.

I got accepted into the Reiman Garden's Art in the Garden in July.  My first "real"art show. I'm scared shitless.  I have a lot of work to do to prepare.  I'm waivering  about what to show.
Just the silver stuff....or the wood stuff. I think the wood stuff is different enough so I'll go with that.

I was a vendor at the First Annual Central Iowa Yoga Retreat last weekend. There were about 50 people there. I was really concerned about making any sales since no one was there to buy jewelry, only to get their down dogs on.  Surprisingly, I did pretty well!! I got a lot of feedback on my jewelry and sold 6 of 8 pairs of earrings.  I'm very happy. 

Oh....and I've had about 2 months worth of tension headaches.  Don't ever buy a new house and move while also trying to start a new business while working at a full time job you don't really enjoy while raising a 4 year old son. Just saying....

Spring is the time of new beginnings....right?

I've had an extremely crappy winter. I'm so ready for spring. 
Trying to concentrate on learning and making new pretty stuff and maybe finally find that "one thing" that I can call my own.  My husband gave me a few new jewelry ideas that I 'm super excited to try out.
Want a hint?  Recycled broom handles!! What the what? Should be able to finish the first proto type this weekend.

Monday I will find out if I was accepted in one of the first craft shows of the spring. Very nervous but optimistic.  There's another craft show application that opens on April 1st so I'm trying to concentrate on that.
OH and exciting news...
I was invited to be a vendor at the First Annual Central Iowa Yoga Retreat in May! YAY ME!!
Making some yoga and zen inspired jewelry. Ommmmmmm

So busy and exciting spring.
I'm SO ready
