<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have always been fascinated with crystals...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Time to dust off the blog...Do people still blog? Seems like Instagram and Pinterest have taken over the world. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I am dusting this old girl off in order to share some tutorials with you.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">My first is for this Siren's Song Necklace I made 2 years ago. It took me a whole month to make the beads and components and about a week to put the piece together.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I ended up sending this one to Stampington and they published it in an issue of Belle Armoire Jewelry. It took a couple years to get to publication, but it was worth it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I am a maker. I am great at creating. I make things all the time. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> What I am not so great at anymore is selling. I used to do craft shows for 4-5 weekends straight in the fall. I would work all spring and summer to make my stock and then also frantically work in the fall to make more of what was selling. This process was good. I learned a ton about production and practiced many skills. Then there came a shift. Most of it was caused by forces I had no control over. I had to focus on some other things. And through it, I was still creating, but not large quantities of things. Single pieces or a series of pieces but not 20-50 of an item. And I narrowed down my shows to only one. I still love that show but the things I am making now are not selling there as much. And I still have a lot of things. So I reached out to a Facebook friend that seems to be really good at the selling. She is helping me through my first Facebook sale. It is tonight starting at 7pm EST. Here is a peek at some of the things I will be offering...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Boy...It has been a long time since I blogged. Life threw a few curve balls at me so I did not have the time to take pictures, load them and blog all the time. I was still creating, but different things and new ways. I like the way I am creating now. I used to make things I saw other people make. I made them to learn and then to sell them. Last year, I made things to push myself past what I have done before. New things with polymer clay which was fun. And then I took a pottery class in the fall and got a little obsessed. I got to play with the wheel. I am not good at it by any means but I know it is a matter of practice so I took it again this spring. So if you still are curious about what I am making, I may share it here from time to time. I hope the last year was kind to you and yours. I missed you and hope you pop in to see what I am up to this year....</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">A quick tip: You can either buy processed acorns or gather your own.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">If you gather your own, it is best to bake them in a craft dedicated toaster oven at 150 degrees for about 30 minutes to kill any critters dwelling within.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">But then I had to make a fairy forest too.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">So I added some polymer beads and flower focals made from real flowers.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I am a huge fan of <a href="http://artjewelryelements.blogspot.com/">Art Jewelry Elements</a>.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">It is a bonus to have so many talented artists all sharing in one place.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">It is one of the few blogs I subscribe to and always read.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">When they suggested an art headpin challenge, I was intrigued and emailed right away to sign up.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Just one problem....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I did not actually own any art headpins.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Which leaves me 2 options: buy some or make some.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I was a Girl Scout and so was my daughter.</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I actually spent a summer in college as a Girl Scout Camp counselor.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">It was a great summer.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I made friends from all over the world since we had international staff from countries such as England, Australia, Greece, and Denmark .</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I recall learning more that summer than I suspect each of the campers did.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I started out with the Q-tip to make bigger dots as bases so I can add smaller dots on top when they dry.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">If you want fairly even concentric circles, start in the center and as you add the next round, do your dots at the 12, 3, 6 and 9 o'clock positions first and then fill in the rest.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I am a very lucky girl.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have multiple places to store and create on our property.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">One of my favorites is this shed.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It is about 18 feet across and shaped like an octagon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It has an upstairs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It is all my junk.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">And when I say that, I mean it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have been creating my whole life and doing craft shows for almost 20 years.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have collected items I thought I could use for booth display.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have collected multiples of materials to make things.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">And I just kept sticking them in the shed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> For Years.....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This winter my husband said, "What we should do is take everything out and I will build you work benches around the perimeter."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">And that idea stuck in my head.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">My brother said he would come to help.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So I began planning my attack.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have not really gone in there for over a year and it was REALLY piled up.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So I chose a long weekend and put it on the calendar for the clean out.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Then I scheduled the following weekend for my brother to come.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Then I spent months planning...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">What will I keep?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">What can go away?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">How do I want it to look?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Doing this for months, made a very clear picture in my head of what the end result should look like.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Then I got ready.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I planned with my husband and we figured out dimensions and materials.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I bought totes so they are all the same size to go on the workbench shelves.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I worked for a couple weeks on the sorting.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I made curtains from burlap coffee sacks to cover most of the boxes and totes and create a less cluttered looking space..</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So no heat or air conditioning. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">That helps to determine what and how things are stored out here.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The sewing machine will come inside when it gets colder.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Previously my storage consisted of wooden crates around the perimeter.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I wanted to minimize buying for this project so I reused what I had as much as possible.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I built bases from pallets and added casters.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
