Moving back into the work groove

I've been avoiding my studio for a couple of months now and decided today is the day to get back in there and get moving. First order of business is to clean off my desk. I've been tending to my Etsy store from my "fun" desk in our "computer room" and the result is burgeoning chaos on and around that desk. I swore I was not going to bring my beady stuff into the house and here I am, dragging it in bit by bit.

So today it goes back to the studio where it belongs and I'm going with it. After all, the entire reason I kept my PowerPC MacMini was to have computer/internet access out THERE so I could keep my piles of stuff separate.

Oh, and btw, I am not a packrat. I'm just tremendously visual and I NEED to keep my stuff out where I can keep an eye on it otherwise I forget I have it. Literally. Hubby does not understand this at all. For me, out of sight, out of mind is a LITERAL truism.

However, just to clarify, I do not have stacks and stacks of STUFF (have you watched HOARDERS on A&E? OMG. I had to quit because it was just about making me ill.) I have a few small stacks and when asked to find something can go right to it. THAT'S the problem with being right brained and visually oriented. ah well.

I've been doing a few listings daily in my Etsy store and have evidently hit the right price point because I've sold nearly a dozen sets in 2 days time. Yay! I have quite a few more sets to list and will be making more in the next day or so. I have Amy's egg press and am just itching to try it out. I have all kinds of ideas for easter egg sets.

I was over at Frantz's Art Glass website drooling over the sale prices on glass and had to drag myself away. I have LOTS of glass. Lots and LOTS of glass and don't need to order more except, soon, the basics like clear, white and black. It's difficult because the darned stuff is to tempting. But I have only made one car payment. When I took the money out of savings to get my van I promised I would pay back every dime and that was last July. I made ONE payment. So that has got to come first. sigh. It's so difficult acting like a grownup. Even at my age.

Time to get to work. Off to do a few listings in my Etsy store and then out to clean my desk and really get back to work!
