The Cure For a Blogging/Writing Rut
I went through a little bit of blogging rut, so I decided to take a break from a few blogs. I thought my life was pretty well-balanced, but I realized that I was doing way too much writing and not enough jewelry making or painting. However, I did venture off and update my gift shop with new and exciting products. With Christmas just around the corner (well, actually it's not, but for a business owner who needs to prepare it is!), I know I need to get my butt in gear and start making new things to sell - that means jewelry and greeting cards as well.
So here was my cure for the blogging rut: Last week I took a few days off to relax, go clothes shopping, and just sleep in! Then today I went to my "Disneyland": Michael's Arts & Crafts and spent way too much money. I can never go in to just "get one thing". I ended up with a myriad of stuff to keep my busy for a few weeks.
I've decided to just focus on making abundance and prosperity jewelry, so I've been researching different semi-precious gemstones like citrine, peridot, iolite, and green aventurine. These are stones that have good energy and bring prosperity to its wearer. I've also bought "love" charms and I'm still on the hunt for other charms that say "joy", "peace", "dream", etc. It feels good to be inspired to make jewelry again!
I'll probably take one day out each week to focus on making jewelry and holiday greeting cards. Stay tuned because I'll start posting some of the pieces here as I go along...Make sure you subscribe to this blog because as we get closer to Christmas I'll be offering readers special discounts!
