Today was a boring lonely day.  I love Monday's because they are the one day I have consistently off work each week.  But I hate them, because it's usually my cleaning/laundry day, and if there is time, then I can do crafting.  But this week is a little different.

My husband is on work related travel, so it's just me and the cat.  The latter part, I love, the former not so much.  So while I did the cleaning and laundry, I also did maintenance on the computer...As in putting files where they belong, etc.  While the usual got accomplished, I feel like nothing did.  And to make things worse, my favorite pajama bottoms (that I have had forever) decided to tear...and not just a tear, but a gaping hole.  And while I could easily sew them back together, the tear wasn't on the seam, but on the fabric.  Grrrrr....

But, my husband being gone, is maybe a good thing.  I get control of the TV and I get the bed all to myself, no cover hogs.  And, the best part, yesterday after he left...I did a retail therapy.  Now I have a new tool box, that is fully loaded with supplies.  And by fully loaded, I mean packed!

I think it took me at least 2 hours to unwrap everything and put them where I thought their proper place was.  Debating on going and getting a second one...I have a lot of beads, and actual tools that need their own space.  The couch just doesn't cut it.

But as I write this, my laundry is almost finished, and I have a few more things so tidy up.  I wrote down an actual chore list, lets see how clean the house stays with just me and Dresden.

New Blog

Well, here it goes.  This is my first blog transmission.  I've never been one for blogging and I never comment on the things I read, but it's time to join the rest of society.

I'm a jewelry artist trying to to get my craft up and running in my etsy store.  I got a book to help me learn about etsy, and the helpful info said I should start a blog, speak informatively on other people's blogs, open a twitter account, create a Facebook page etc.  All these things are supposed to help me boost my sales, and show I am a professional that knows what she is doing.

All these things have been done <yes, finally!>  I've been getting my ducks in a row.  This was my last step.  Here I am for the world to see.

We just got a new macro camera lens, so my budding photography husband can finally start taking good <and hopefully> professional pictures of the wares I'm peddling.

So, thanks for stopping, and don't forget to check out my etsy store, http://www.etsy.com/shop/SaltedBones and you can find my Tweets @SaltedBones
