Hi Christine!
Sorry for being MIA for a few days.... I'm feeling under the weather at the moment, and I had my hands full in off-computer life.
I have also been doing something every day, even if I didn't check in here, I do what I can and then catch up when I have a bit more time.
Part of my off-computer work right now is totally re-organizing my studio, so that I can make more jewelry and be more comfortable doing it too. I just took delivery today of a new desk that will be my new main 'workbench' for soldering, and my old one will be my new 'beading' bench for other jewelry that I make (beaded, chainmaille, wire wrapped, cold forged).
And I'm re-organizing all my gemstone beads (mega inventory) into a new system, so that takes time too but in the end, it will make me much more efficient, and that is part of growing the business. When the orders keep me very busy, I don't have time to make those types of improvements, so I have to make this now if I want to grow further as otherwise I won't have the time in the future cuz I'll be busy with loads more orders (one hopes!)
I'll read back on the days I've missed and do what I can...
Cheers,
Nathalie
