When it rains...
Gah. In helping someone else set up a Blogger blog, I inadvertently changed my own template. ::sigh:: I hate when that happens.
I have been trying to get images of the new product edited and the product entered into the store database. Unfortunately, life and some custom orders have conspired against me, so there will be more waiting. I'm sorry about that.
My good pal KJ is struggling with a terminally ill relative, so please keep her (and her family) in your thoughts and/or prayers.
On the brighter side, I got to make birthday earrings for someone this week, and presents are my favorite sort of custom jewelry to make. :) I love knowing someone is going to be surprised by what I'm working on, and I admit, I put even more care and attention into something I know is a gift for someone else. I'm careful and attentive to everything I make - because I'm a perfectionist, so it's in my nature anyway - but I am even more careful when I make presents. It takes me twice as long, because I want it to be perfect. It's really rewarding to get to be a part of someone's joy. To add to the fun, not only were the earrings for a fellow blogger from Diaryland, but the buyer was kind enough to email me about the gift opening, and then the giftee wrote about it in her weblog! That's more feedback than I usually get, so it was wonderful gratification and really made my weekend. :)
The other bright spot on the horizon is that thanks to my friend Hope's wonderful PR work, I have had to pony up a new "label" under which I will be selling to stores. You will still be able to buy jewelry at Dragonfly for the same low prices, but exclusive work for stores will be under the new label of Waterlily Studios. I'm trying to find a spiffy logo I like, with a small blue-green dragonfly hovering over a green lilypad and pink waterlily, so any whimsical artists out there, speak up!
And that's all I have time for. Pendulums await.
Happy Belated Memorial Day,
Jenie

Thanks for the sweet thoughts! Grandma passed away peacefully on 5/31, but I was able to visit her several times before then and am grateful for that.
Congrats on the "birth" of Waterlily Studios. That is just SO AWESOME!!
