Weekly Failure Baggage

Yazmin — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 15:08:21 +0000

I feel I haven’t been very successful lately when it comes to the jewelry business. You may realize that already since you haven’t seen me post much jewelry or destash many supplies. Other things always end up higher on my list of to-dos any given week. To me, that’s a minor failure on my part.

However, that doesn’t stop me from keeping those tasks on my to-do list. I also don’t let my “failure” define me. You never know when you’ll be able to make the time for things. You never know when you’ll have the creative spark to fix a problem. You never know what can happen in any given week. You just never know.

And I’m making an active choice to focus on other priorities. Although in this case, I have a few other to-dos to complete first (creating new lightbox, picking new background) before I can even move forward with listing any new jewelry or supplies. And I do have new jewelry to list.

You? What weekly failure baggage are you carrying?

Lofty Goals – Update

Yazmin — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 14:00:06 +0000

While dropping off the face of the earth with this pregnancy, the lofty goals or lack thereof, that I set back at the beginning of the year have fallen through. I initially wanted to revise my 101 List, but as you can see, it is no longer a part of my website. The news of baby girl’s coming really threw a wrench into a lot of my plans, but it was a much welcomed wrench.

With that, my goals have clearly changed. The focus with this website/blog is still the same, but I’d really like to continue destashing/using the gemstones and other supplies I already have. In full, I’m aiming to:

Build new light box.
Select new theme background for photos.
Clean and reshoot or repurpose older jewelry pieces.
Destash excess supplies once a week.
Create at least two new piece a month.
Create an organized and compact storage/craft area for my jewelry business.
Prep new website for launch after baby girl’s birth when things fall into a routine.
Clean up newsletter mailing list.
Create mailing list templates for the next 12 months, setup mailing schedule and alerts in calendar to verify and update content.
Fix broken back links in blog due to new backend. Done!
Catch up on my 52 weeks blog posts.

Sadly, I feel like I’m running out of time to really work on many of these. As one of my twitter peeps pointed out, it’s not long now before baby girl is due and we’re in a single digit week countdown!

But enough about me… how are you doing with your lofty goals?

Destash – Mother of Pearl Buttons

Yazmin — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 09:00:08 +0000

It’s been over a month since I’ve sat down and destashed any supplies. Thought I’d get started again with the buttons below:

Look familiar? Well they should! These are the buttons I’ve used for my mother of pearl rings here, here and here, respectively. You can now find these buttons at my Etsy supply destashing shop, Rockstash.

I’ll definitely have more ready to destash next week. Maybe I should make some tutorials on how to make my rings to go with my buttons. What do you think?
