How I Got Started

As a kid, I was never really much into crafting. However, my mom has always been very talented at making things. She is so good at knitting! I do love crafting now; I just like different crafts than she does.
So, my mom actually got me interested in making jewelry. She doesn't make it herself, but one Mother's Day she gave me a beginner's kit for beading. I was hooked very quickly! Isn't that sweet that my mom gives me gifts on Mother's Day? She honors the fact that I am a mom too.
These days I make jewelry after my own kids are in bed. It is a great way to relax for me. It is a fun hobby. However, I wondered what I was going to do with all the stuff I was making. My husband encouraged me to look into Etsy. A college friend that sells on Etsy encouraged me to go for it. It is an inexpensive way to start selling.
I am going to use this blog to show some of the things I have in my shop and to talk about anything related to my jewelry making. I hope you enjoy reading it!
