It is already well into February and this is my first blog for 2014! I was very busy in 2013. I tend to take on more than I can handle and this past year is no exception. I gave up my job at Elmcroft Assisted Living to take on teaching more voice and piano students. They asked me to come back twice a month and do music with them, though, so I still get to see my favorite residents. So, my student load has increased and I also took on more tasks. I opened up a small booth in a mall to sell my handmade items and in a few weeks I will start teaching jewelry making at our new local Michael's. The class is on "Stringing" and it is a beginner class. I am looking forward to teaching--I love to teach. Hopefully, this will be a fun experience for me. I will let you know how it goes.
In the meantime, I am working on designing more jewelry. I have gotten into stamping bracelets and rings with sayings and special words. It is very hard to get these words straight, so I have to practice quite a bit. I will be posting more photos of my work soon.
