Regrouping for the New Year!

Craft show season has taught me that sometimes it's OK to leave to-do's for later, at least during those months when it really is the squeakiest wheel that gets oiled.  As I mentioned earlier, I'm on a mission to declutter and reorganize my studio.  I've found that the actual task is not nearly as bad as thinking about it before diving in.
But this type of endeavor does take blocks of uninterrupted time, (what is THAT again?)  This quiet little week between Christmas and New Year's presents the perfect opportunity.

A good start is already underway, and improvements are actually becoming visible to the naked eye.  One of the remaining clutter-bugs is a group of individual baggies, lined up like so many little train cars across the table, each holding one of my wire crochet necklace sets with matching earrings.  These have been patiently waiting to be listed on Etsy, and today I got all but one listed - the last one hopefully to be done tonight.

Just one more big challenge in the studio - that catch-all container that I've been avoiding like the plague.  Motivation has hung around, thank goodness, so hopefully I'll have conquered that Sterlite box by the end of the week, and my studio will be all set to welcome in 2012!

A final thought  - how can it be 12 years since the Y2K crisis was averted, and no, the world did not come to a technological halt.

This set, in Montana blue Czech glass and freshwater pearls, was my best seller at shows this year.  A personal favorite as well, so I was tickled that others agreed!  One set remains available, just listed today in my Etsy shop.
