Quick Update

I just wanted to take some time out to post a quick update. I have been quite busy lately with work and life in general as of late. My shop has taken the biggest hit as I just don't have the extra time to focus on creating things and blogging like I had before.


Things should hopefully pick up again sometime early next year. However until then, don't expect to see much from me. In the meantime you can stop by and visit my etsy finds blog @ alwaysetsy.blogspot.com.

The Girl, Behind The Shop

For this weeks etsybloggers blog carnival we were asked to share a picture of ourselves or our studios. Since my Studio is currently a mess I decided to go with the first option. So, that picture up there, yep, that's me.

I've never really been a fan of talking about myself so this post will probably be fairly short and to the point. I've always been a creative person. When I was younger I spent hours drawing, painting and making various things. When I got older I still made jewelery but most of my creativity went to graphic design. It's no surprise that I ended up as a graphic/web designer who makes jewelry on the side.

I'm a fan of music, everything from metal to techno I enjoy pretty much all types of music. I'm laid back, sarcastic and love a good thunderstorm every now and again. Lately I've become a TV snob and watch all kinds of different shows. Two years ago I watched maybe 3 TV shows a week, now I watch well let's just say ALOT more then that.

So there you have it a quick and to the point post of yours truly. I wish I was capable of stating more but like I said I'm not a fan of stalking about myself. If you have a question feel free to ask.

CUCUMBERS & WATERMELON

Alright so I am getting this in after the fact, but it's the effort that counts right. The newest one is yet to be put up and I'd like to get one in this month for the Etsy Bloggers Blog Carnival after I missed last month.

My favorite foods (of the moment) are cucumbers and watermelon. They are the perfect fruit & vegetable for summer. They are so refreshing and completely delicious. Both are growing in my garden as well, although I don't know if the watermelons will finish in time as the weather has already started to cool down around here.

We have gone through numerous watermelons this year. My fiance and I even ran out at 1:30am one day to go and get one when the mood struck, it was delicious. Who cares if we didn't start eating it until almost 2:30am.

I eat cucumbers constantly for a snack. I slice them up put on some Italian dressing and enjoy, also taste great with fresh tomatoes as well.
