Well here we are, blog hop #2
So what have I learned..............a lot! Brenda our wonderful mentor has really made me think about what I am. My choices were Hobbyist, Maker, or Designer. Hmm....... I really wasn't sure about this, and truthfully still not. I love to make jewelry and I do sell some, but I absolutely do not like the business end of it all. This is why I took this class to see if I want to turn it into a full fledged, full time business. I am really enjoying the class, Although I don't comment a lot, but I am listening. I am going to be more engaged these next couple of weeks. I have learned sticking to a schedule is a lot harder than I thought. Well more on that later. Here are a few components that I am using in my "Shades of Purple" line.
