Perfecting My Craft~

One of the most gratifying things about my love of beading jewelry, is making things that other people want to buy.  People who love your work enough that they are willing to pay for it, makes me want to be better at what I do, "perfecting my craft", as they say. 

Often times, I will put something together on my beading tray, and leave it.  Sometimes it will be there for days.  I won't put it together until I feel sure someone is going to be happy with the investment they make in my jewelry.  I firmly believe that my business will grow and be blessed more by me taking the time and energy to perfect each piece of jewelry, so that it is valued, and that person will buy from me again, whether it be something I have already made, or a special order gift. 

THIS is my calling.  I enjoy looking for ways to perfect my craft.  Whether it's a beading class, books and magazines about jewelry making, I am ALWAYS learning.  And, I am enjoying the process!    I began this journey making bracelets for my daughter and myself.  That has now branched out into making pretty things for women everywhere!  I have truly stepped outside of my box, and I am allowing God to work in my life through my jewelry. 

Spring around here will be blooming and blossoming with lots of jewelry from things all around me that inspire.  Stay tuned! 

XOXO,
