I don't know what it is about me and 'stuff'. In my old age I'm finding that I really hate being surrounded by too much stuff. Too many clothes, too many photos on the wall, too many houseplants, too much furniture, too much this, too much that...

...too many beads in my shop inventory!

So in an effort to clear them all out quickly, I've decided to price all loose beads and pendants at $10 or less. What little jewelry I still have in stock has been discounted as well.

When I end up with Artist’s Block, I find myself focusing on the Block instead of trying to get around it. And more often than not, the harder you think about the Block, the stronger and bigger it gets! So to get my mind off the Block and back on track I try a few things:

I made it into an Etsy Treasury! Not once, but twice! Well ok, I’m not in two Treasuries, I’m only in one, but I’m in there two times! The Treasury is called Lightning Strikes Twice.

At long last, temps have been falling here in Atlanta! Unfortunately, the end of the brutal summer heat also marks the end of my motorcycle riding to work. :( Morning temps in the 50’s creates a wind chill that makes my hands go numb before I go more than a couple of miles! Now I’m no wuss when it comes to being cold.
