Etsy update!

with my new shop, which i am need to put up new creations, i also have a new blog. i decided to keep my personal and 'business' blog separate. this blog will be filled with inspiration, pretty things, and random tid bits to due with my new store. it's one more thing that is keeping this new year exciting and wonderful!

last night i had a dream about seattle, and i woke up missing it. it's strange to be so fond of a place you spent so little time in, but still, you know when your heart wants something. i miss downtown, gasworks, and bay. i want to explore it, and make it my home. i want to live there, and one day i will.

i'm only nineteen years old, and i can start my life now. i could start over now and create something completely different and still be okay. i need to stop feeling like i'm in my late twenties, when i haven't even reached them. i know i may not even be that mature, but mentally i feel that way. i feel like my mind is old and my heart is terrified, but really, i wonder if that is the complete definition of feeling young.

i'm nineteen, and i'm starting now.

update!

i feel happy to finally say that i have my computer back, with internet and all, which means that i will be even more active lately. i have so many new projects up my sleeve that it is almost overwhelming, but in a good way. i just have to bite the bullet and get it done. one project at a time, or five projects at a time. for my own ocd, i'm going to make myself a little list of things i need to do (like i really need anymore lists!)

- apply anywhere and everywhere for jobs (even printing out applications tonight!)

- put my two new pairs of earrings up in tea @ noon

- make a few new pairs of earrings

- go thrift store shopping (very intently!)

- have a wonderful date night with the boy

- update my 365!

- pick up at least three new books to read. i'm tired of rereading books i love.

late night excitement!

within the past two days i can proudly say that i have gotten my first tattoo, gaged my ear for the first time, and finally have created my own etsy shop! it took 22 days, but finally creative juices are flowing, and i'm fairly certain that they will not slow down any time soon.

first thing i want to elaborate on is my first tattoo. it's still a little bit red and puffy in the picture, and i know a touch up will be in my near future, but just the fact that it is there, permanently on my body, and it is a sign that change is coming. i know lots of people get bird tattoos, and they usually stand for freedom, and i feel that, in a way. but personally my birds representing me breaking out from a wall that i have built in my personal life, and it will be a constant reminder to keep working at it. and i must say, after getting this one, i cannot wait to get more.

second thing that i must elaborate on, is my new etsy shop, 'tea @ noon'. it is going to be a handcrafted jewelery store, and i am also extremely tempted to make it a partial vintage shop once i get my thrift shop on again. there are many ideas in the works for my little shop, including jewelery hangers, necklaces, bracelets - all handcrafted, and made with love.

and tomorrow it's time for coffee @ ten. everything is looking up.

i am proud to say, to my one follower and my own excitement, that i will soon be opening my very own etsy shop with my own homemade jewelry. i've been thinking about this for quite some time and recently created some, what i would like to call, unique designs. so, stay tuned! live is about to take some wonderful twists and turns.

due to the fact that my computer is MIA as of this moment, i'm posting this here. i've recently been fascinated with wicca and things of the nature and even aquired a pendulum for christmas. here is the description of the stone -
