Nothing New...But Ideas

So nothing new on the Flamingo and Clover home front. I haven't created any new jewellery in over a month and it's still too busy to take pictures of what I do have. I have made 5 new terrariums from the Crown Royal and Patron bottles that Brophy's and a Friend were kind enough to provide. (Thank You)  I also finally have a definite workspace for my beads and other crafts. But I don't know the first thing about creating stock. I never make duplicates, each item is completely unique. So I think what I'm going to do is separate the 10 to 12 pieces that I'm most proud of and assemble collections around them. That's the plan for February. Have at least 50 pieces of inventory to start with when I open my Etsy account.

A Little More

I still haven't been able to find the time to take those pictures I promised to. It's just to busy at work right now. Someday I'll have a digital camera of my own and I wont need to use my employer's camera. I also am hoping to learn how to make my own button for my blog. I have ideas of how I'd like the button to look. But I'm just not that cozy with html code. So that is where I'm at with that.

New Necklaces to Show

I have new necklaces to post. As soon as I take the pictures that is. Unfortunately I plan to use the camera from work and it has been very very busy at work this week. I'm going to work early tomorrow. I'll try to have to pictures soon.

Treadmill Turbulance

Well my treadmill arrived yesterday. My darling was putting it together when I came home from work. It may have been presumptuous to think I could walk for an hour a day. It's a manual treadmill so it takes a little bit of muscle from the walker to get it going and keep it going. If I want the walk to be smooth, I have to fast walk or lightly jog. The moment I slow my pace the tread pauses and ceases its smooth flow. So last night I fast walked for 6 minutes; might have been 7. No it was 6. When I stepped off my legs went from muscles burning to jellowy.

Things to Do in 2011

I will design 3 pieces of jewelry a week.

I will restrict my facebook visits to
 not more that twice a day.

I will walk on the treadmill 1 hour a day.

I will be back to update this list.

Happy New Year- 3 no 2 things to take note of

First, I just want to say that Walgreen's has got it going on.
I bought 3 pre-wrapped dark chocolate Whitman's Sampler
boxes and 3 pairs of fuzzy socks. They are also where I go
when I'm have a toe sock craving. Unfortunately none of these items ever made it to their intended. Because I ate the chocolate and wore the socks.

Second, how do I make the word 'Walgreen's' linkable? 
I can type the address in but how do i make just the word a link? 
Oh wait. I just figured it out. (palm hits face)

Second, I just checked my cupboard and refrigerator and
I see I have all the necessary ingredients for crepes. Yaaayyy.
So I made the crepes, only to discover that there is...
no maple syrup.
NOOO000oooo.
Not that.
(going into downward spiral of maple syrup withdrawal)
 Then my significant other came home and I told him about my dilemma. I told Him that I was so sure I had a bottle of maple syrup.Do you know where it is? Where could it be? He said, "Well, let's go look." Then He opens the first cupboard door
(that I just looked inside of twice), stands on His tiptoes and  magically deliciously finds the bottle of maple syrup.
I promptly declared my love to my love. "I love you, maple syrup."
