So things have been crazy, and updates are coming soon. Since my old computer has pooped out on me, I decided to make the journey to Best Buy and invest in a new one! I decided to stray away from Dell, and try my luck on a Toshiba. So far, I really like it in every way except the speakers a very quiet. I guess I'll have to make room on my desk! Who would ever thing to put a computer there!!!!!
Anyway, once I get Dreamweaver and Photoshop installed, I'm going to take on a new project- revamping my website! I've spent a few months working on the website for work, and I've had a blast doing it! I've learned a lot, and I must say, I think it looks pretty snazzy. One of the things I might do is try to switch over from Lunar Pages to GoDaddy, which will then lead to great turnover. I will switch my blog form Google's hosted blogger.com to Wordpress's hostedblog that will live on my URL. This will hopefully give me more hits and in turn, more business!
I'm still continuing to sell flasks- in fact I had someone order one just yesterday!
I also came across an old Singer Featherweight sewing machine which belonged to my grandmother. It's pretty fun, and it's the first sewing machine that I've ever been able to use without totally messing things up. I started by making a pillow, then moved to leather. I've been using a lighter weight leather- chrome tan- that was imprinted for upholstery use. I've made a bunch of really fun luggage tags, and I would like to make more by May 2- my first craft show of the season!
I've been curious to try my hand at wood turning, focusing on pens turned on a mini lathe. I think I'm going to focus on getting the supplies for it little by little so I don't make myself too broke on supplies. I think I could really have a lot of fun with it, and I have an idea to combine the wood and acrylic blanks to make some really fun and unique pens! If only I could win the lottery..... :)
More pictures to come (hopefully) but until then..... :)
