Hello 2014, Think I forgot about you?
Well if you’ve been following along at all by now you should have realized I’m terrible at maintaining my blog,
add in the fact that I had our second baby at the end of January and the months tend to slip by.
But that’s life, and my kids and family are a big source of my joy and desire to create Art.
So how am I managing you might ask? lol Good Question.
Not Bad I guess,
I’m currently working on finding balance in raising two BEAUTIFUL Daughters: Zoë & Prudence
while trying to find time to keep our house from looking like a complete disaster 😉
while also doing my jewelry inventory
All the while trying to keep up with the flow of creative ideas I’ve had lately
Oh and of course trying to squeeze in sleep so I don’t go completely insane Heh!
So all in all not too bad.
I’ve also signed up for the entire season at our local Farmer’s Market so that will be keeping me busy from June until the end of August this year
and of course I’m still peddling my wares over on Etsy so pop on over.
As for me, I have a lot of work to do 🙂 and I will try to keep updating as I go along, but for tonight, back to inventory 🙂
Cheers,
Amanda

I’ve been mostly off the grid lately creating jewelry for several upcoming Christmas craft sales
and
working on branding my home Art & Jewelry Biz which can be a fine blend of fun and daunting, especially when you are a one woman show (who is pregnant and juggling a toddler lol)
But it’s all been coming along pretty well, I just despise all the initial start-up costs, (some day I will get ahead *Lord willing*)
I’ve never really been one for branding, probably because I like to dabble too much and hate the pretensions that can go with a marketed image but I do understand the power of advertising.
So I started working on all the paraphernalia that is required to make a business really pop, the packaging & displays!
And what better way to do that than through COLOUR!
I tried to keep things simple but bright.
All my displays are black because it makes the perfect backdrop for all the colors I use.
And I didn’t want to be tied down to the stereotypical paintbrush icon so instead I used a color spectrum and a black splash of paint with my initials as my logo, simple yet bright and isn’t too constraining to be tied down to.
I’m pretty happy with it.
Cheers,
Amanda
