progress

SO I have been getting organized. Moving things around.  Organizing both life and potential work.  Preparing for things to come.  I really  have been driven lately to move in a business direction to the point of donating my entire extra room to jewelry and painting.  Its really hard to eliminate so many things that have been a part of your life for so long.  to cut the ties and let things find new homes and walk away from. I have realized I would rather have given so many things away rather than constantly keep moving them over and over.  I never bought in to the phrase most organized people used.  If you move something three times that means you aren't using it and haven't used it......or the idea of haven't worn it or used it for a year. Move on and get rid of it.   Now that is what I'm using for my life.  Every part is being dissected and put under the microscope to be analyzed and moved to the correct spot...or discarded to find another home. 

I will be starting on my journey soon and hope by the end of the year I can be proud of how this year flourished.  I really hope that within a year I can focus solely on art and metalsmithing that working elsewhere isn't an issue. 

my working out is going pretty good I have finished my Amped two weeks and have moved on to Chalene extreme with a dash of boot camp.  It has lots of lifting in the extreme with some cardio and band work with the boot camp.  work it~.

Taking a look into the future

I have been taking this time to find out the proper tools I will need for jewel crafting.  Its like going back to school on some levels.  There are so many things available from blogs all the way to companies posting tutorials.  I just received my flex shaft in the mail yesterday and realized I didn't buy something to hang it on .  there is a newbie for you.  Ill show some of my items when they all arrive in the next few weeks.  oh I also bought the basic jewelers desk.  When you have something like this with so many pieces and you are constantly collecting and gathering inspiration its the organization that will make or break you in my opinion. 

I have also been working toward my goal of fitness in the new year and I'm loving Taebo .  yes I know there are  new and wonderful things out there that I could be doing and I am .  I just really love Billy Blanks and find him inspirational.  I'm doing the amped .  It really is hard to the point I couldn't move for days after completing the amped booty DVD.  I was forced to take an extra day off due to lack of movement.  I also got the Chalene Extreme but I haven't been wanting to start it yet.  I'm doing the Amped till around the 4th of June then I will switch it up and add the Extreme.  I had been stuck in a rut of no progress they call it a plateau.  So upsetting on many levels most will agree so I am trying to change everything every two weeks.  I am still moving slow but at least its moving.

cya!
