Crafty Chica Opportunity

As you may know, when it comes to crafting, I'm 'sic wit it'. Crafts are something I can't get enough of. Well, since being a mom, the crafting tools had been collecting dust. My brother is getting married in two months and his wife-to-be expressed her lack of knowledge about wedding decor. Well needless to say, wedding decor can be a crafter's delight, especially this crafter. I jumped on the opportunity to let the 'crafty chica' out and my sister-in-law and I are both are loving it. I have turned her on to my favorite crafting community www.etsy.com. The website is to buy and/or sell ANYTHING handmade. There are a wealth of people who are crafty like me who get an opportunity to take on dares of their friends to start a business selling whatever they love to make. The design ideas from this uber-talented community is endless. I haven't been so immersed in crafts since my DIY own wedding. For my brothers wedding, I started out simply making the cake, which evolved to making the flowers, to now, the re-instatement of Rowe-Jones Jewelry. Thanks to Etsy, I have lots to work with and a community of crafters to resource from.

Stay tuned

Okay, so it is August, and Rowe-Jones has ventured into baby gear. Due to the lack of time for design and labor on jewelry, a seamstress has been hired for a baby gear line. Stay tuned as the creativity unfolds.

A logo

Well, it's been a while and I am still here at the same place, except for a logo. I have given birth to another child. We also have a wedding photography business that is our primary focus. In the wedding photography business, my desire is to master Photoshop. Why? Remember, creativity of all kinds consumes me.
I have began to mention that I am starting a jewelry line in hope to follow through with my own words. You know how it is when you see the person that you mentioned it to again and they ask, you want to be able to say that you did what you said. At least I am that type of person. Now that I have made it public, I have to follow through. Do what you say that you're going to do.
I made a bracelet for my mother and people have asked about purchasing one. OOOOPs! How am I going to price it? package it and post it without my website being ready? I've got to do something about this. BTW-This was Christmas that I am talking about. Again, I am still here with one step forward on the handmade jewelry business, a logo.
