Getting Settled

Here I am in Sunny Southern California, living with my parents. Who would have thought that at the age of 30 I would be back living with my parents, with my husband over 3,000 miles away in Florida?? Not me!!! I never expected this. (Don't worry, hubby and I aren't having any problems)  However, its a little bump in our road, and we will soon be together again. His flight instructor standardization is going much slower than expected, he is at least a week behind, so here I am, stuck at the parents, not knowing when I will find out where I will be living.

The one good thing is that I am not currently employed, so I have more time for beading. So, lookout for some new pieces coming up real soon! This opportunity has also given my the chance to find some new bead stores and new inspirations. Yesterday, I found an absolutely gorgeous ring, that will hopefully be appearing in my shop soon :)  However, there is one little problem with being unemployed: I'm not making any money so I can't be spending any money. Which is really hard to do. So hopefully my Etsy sales pick up with the addition of some new items. Keep your eyes open for some new items at www.turtlexiii.etsy.com

  9. This is a great opportunity to learn some new techniques. You might even be able to use some interesting found materials in California, and maybe your parents would help you out with some supplies too. I'm really looking forward to seeing your new pieces!

  16. There's nothing wrong with living with the parents! As long as they're not nagging you day in and day out because they still think you're their little girl :) Take advantage of the pampered treatment (like home-cooked meals that you didn't have to cook) and enjoy 'cause it won't last forever!
