I'm Back and Destashing · Sep 6


As I’m sure you already know, I am back. Dragon*Con was such a blast. I think this is the best time I’ve had in all the years I went, because not only did I get to enjoy my 3 days there with my best friend, J, I also got to see it through the eyes of a close friend who has only been but one time. It was a great reminder of that first-time wide-eyed feeling that you slowly lose over the years.

So, if you visit my Flickr site, you’ll find a new set titled Dragon*Con 2008. I only took a few hundred photos while there, so I’m being rather slow in getting them cropped, cleaned and uploaded. They are getting posted in about batches of 10.

In the meantime, feel free to browse the photos that I was able to take with my ever so crummy camera. There was plenty of dSLR envy that weekend on my part. The good thing is that I got J to agree to let me spend $1200 on a dSLR instead of a steampunk arm piece. Hope is what keeps me happy. ;)

Day 193.366 Because I must break my hording spirit...

Today, with all the fires in the wake of my return put out, I decided to do a little bit of catching up with the jewelry business. Among the things I picked back up was my destashing project…that’s #12 on my 101 List. I took some time to process a few more supply photos to post on the RockStash Etsy site. I hope you find something here you can put to good use:

Did any of my readers go to Dragon*Con themselves? Let me know! I would love to read your blog entries on the Con.

#12 - April and May Destashing Done! · Jun 28


I’m so delayed on getting these posted. April turned into May, and May into June, so here I am playing “catch up” with the supplies that have been accumulating on my desk. Maybe next month I will get caught up with June as well. :)

In this batch you’ll find a lot of Swarovski pearls and a few crystal rondelles. There are also some new yummy peacock freshwater pearls that are definitely worth checking out.

Here is my Etsy mini with a few of the supply listings:

#12 - March Destashing Done! · Mar 22

It was that time of the month again for me to go through my supplies and destash what I have. This seems to be working out well. Now, if I could only just get myself cracking on the rest of my 101 list things would be so much better. :)

#12 - February Destashing Done! · Feb 16

Here we go again! Last Sunday I was able to photograph a ton of supplies and I finally got them posted at RockStash the other day. I just failed to mention it.

Several things have already sold, but just like last time, there are some good things worth scooping. This time, I added some of the extra Mother of Pearl buttons I use to make my rings in designs I did not care for once in hand. One listing of those already sold.

There are also some great coconut heart beads large enough for pendants and some pink shell flowers which make cute dainty earrings…sadly, just not quite for my market anymore, I think.

Pink Flower Shell Hairpins

I couldn’t help myself, though, and ended up making these sweet little hairpins with the pink shell flowers to list.

Tonight I’m off to pick up my mom at the airport, so here I go doing a quick clean of the house. I hope you have a fantastic Saturday!

#12 – January Destashing Done! · Jan 12

Well, that was time consuming! I spent a good bit of yesterday photographing supplies and then another couple hours this morning getting them posted at RockStash.

There are some good things in there, like several pieces of Thai hill tribe silver that was purchased when the market was lower. There are also some vintage lucite beads that are worth scooping up. Hopefully all of these will go off to new homes!

Now to go grab some breakfast…

Clearly, I Need Help · Jan 11

Week 1 is over for my 101 goals and I’m just not doing as great as I thought. Excuses come easily and I find it’s just too simple to say “Oh, I’ll go a little later” or “I’ll do that tomorrow”, when in reality, my goals need to be made a priority and done that day.

I do want to be successful with my list, so I know I’m going to have to tackle this problem differently. Having the list public on my blog is just not enough. Which means I have to learn from my failure quickly so that I can get back on track and not be demoralized.

In Flight
I did manage to photograph some supplies for Goal #12!


This morning, I was reading my blog roll and I believe I’ve found the solution! Zen Habits had a post last month on 16 Killer Apps to Put On Your Brand New Christmas Mac. (I’ve had my Mac for quite a while now, but I didn’t believe that precluded me from using the list.) :) I downloaded and installed several of them, among them iGTD, which I was going to use, but I had just setup a good system that I want to give a fair shot. For this though, I believe it’s a good alternate use for application…so I’m going to fill it up with my 101 list items!

I’m really excited about that and should be setting it up this weekend. Since there are so many different goals on various “time limits” (not sure what else to call them), I think iGTD will work well for what I need. This will also allow me to get familiar with the program in a non-urgent kind of way.

When Week 3 rolls around on the 18th, I should be in a better position to succeed. (I’m crossing my fingers here.)

Does anyone have any other programs they can suggest for tracking to-do lists? I’d love to check them out.
