So, today as I wake up again at 430am and sit down to bead while the
house is quiet I have come to some major life choices.... amazing that
at 'almost' 40 you can find yourself just finally coming to the place
you always wanted. Some of my decision is personal and I won’t go into
those, but one of the biggest has to do with my craft. I have decided
to make it a REAL business. I have been doing shows for over 5 years
now and I have been making jewelry for more than 30, but I never really
made a choice, it was always just for fun. Because of the economy we
(my family) are faced with a choice to either have me go back to work or
to make the crafts become profitable. I WILL make them work. Up until
5 years ago I worked in corporate America and thought my beading was
just a hobby, when my youngest was born I started to 'play' with running
a business at it. Now I am serious. If anyone has any tips, I’d love
to read them. I am all ears. I know that this is a very competitive
industry and that the economy is down, but I am going to make it! I love beading and don't want to have to put aside my passion for a business suit again.
