Digging deep to finish....

Well, it seems as thought my Etsy store is getting some traffic, but no sales yet.  I had one sale back in January, but I think that may have been a fluke.  I am relieved that people are at least finding me there.  Here's the link if you like to check out my store:  http://www.rosewindstudio.etsy.com/ .  The traffic has prompted me to work on my website.  It will be a basic site, with info I can't fit on other venues.  The best part is that once I'm done with the basics I will finally get to dig out my PMC (precious metal clay) supplies and a torch.  That's right, I said it... a torch!  I'm gonna set some stuff a blaze... well, I'm going to attempt soldering and sintering at least.  I can't wait!!  Once I get the soldering and sintering groove I'll be making some Autism Awareness jewelry.  But that's for a later post.  Back to web designing.... <sigh>.

Wishing your wishes come true,

Me.... a blogger?

Hello and welcome to my new blog!  Please allow me to introduce myself.  My name is Shannon, I live in Northern Virginia, and I am a bookkeeper by day and a bead and jewelry artist by night.  Growing up in a creative family, I've always been active in arts & crafts starting at a very early age.  I've been involved with many different mediums including:  cross stitch, polymer clay, candle making, graphic drawing, beaded Christmas ornaments, just to name a few.  Although I've been creating jewelry and beaded flowers for over 10 years, I recently turned my favorite hobbies into a genuine business called Rosewind Studio . 

I would never characterize myself as a writer, so I'm stepping out of my comfort zone to blog and try to connect more on a personal level with others.  I'm hoping to learn, inspire, relate, create, and connect with like minded people.  I know you're out there!  I'm looking forward to meeting you.
