Using what I've got!

So today I took all my jewelry making components and basically dumped them out and sorted through them. It is amazing what quantity I have! I need to jump in and make stuff using what i have instead of feeling like I always need to buy new different stuff! So today i sorted through and finished a couple of projects that I have been meaning to work on using older stuff. Unfortunately the weather has been as such that there isn't any good sunlight to take pictures in so the pics I tried to take are blurry and don't represent the items very well at all.

I also made Alicia a ring using elastic, 2 4mm swarovski butterflies, and a faceted round. I used pearly seed beads to take up the rest of the "band" and closed it with a crimp bead. It is so frigging cute that I think I will make a bunch of little tiny ones like that and sell them!!! She is a perfect model too and I did get a couple of good pics of that ring but I haven't imported them yet from my camera and its downstairs right now and I need to go to bed!!! Kids love jewelry though and they are a good market to cater to so I think I will go for it. Alicia can be my designer...she has good taste so far actually!!

I'll try to get pics up tomorrow. EEk!

It is actually really easy with Yahoo Small Biz. It costs 12.95 a month after the first two months of 8.95, and you can design the site any way you want. If you want to sell, you have to upgrade to a Merchant's account, and that gets trickier with sales taxes and PayPal and stuff. But, if you just want to grab your domain name so no one else does, it will be registered under you for 1-5 years. It is only 9.95 a year just to register your domain. You could do that to start?

I am obsessed with fiddling and improving it--it becomes addictive!!!
