Upside Down Frown

---

It’s always a good day when you can figure out a way to turn a frown upside down, and that’s what I did over the holidays.

For at least three years now I’ve been developing my skills in the area of beading and one of the things you need when designing your own jewellery is a bit of a personal inventory. If you search locally and on the ‘net, you can find more sparklies for sale than you ever would have thought existed. However, what I found totally overwhelming at the beginning of my new hobby I now find intoxicating; I am indeed a magpie of the First Order.

I’ve got a few friends from different social circles making the same noises about my work and suggesting the same damn way of getting word out, so I’m going to treat it as fate giving me a kick upside the head in big ol’ hobnail boots. I’m still so very nervous about putting my stuff ‘out there’; I love every last thing I make, but am never certain it will fly with the rest of civilization. This is something I recognize I have to work on, don’t worry.

Lots of developments today regarding my employment from next week on.
