Back in the Saddle

So, work has been at a stand still for over three months now. It has taken much longer for me to regain control of reality than expected. Though I have been hard at work on my own personal projects, the lack of work progress has left me with the feeling of aimlessness and wandering. Because of this I must say that today was super exciting! I had a nice, full day of work. I got a ton done and am ready for a final pour on all of the items to be delivered to Bliss Yarns. I would have been done last week but I have since decided to add more items.
While we were gone, I had plenty of time to gather some new ideas. And this year there will be a bunch of new ideas coming from Tactile. The above image is another item I was able to make good progress on today. I always forget my good camera when headed to work and so all photos in the studio end up being taken on my iphone. I love my phone but I won't lie and say the photos are top notch though they do get the job done nicely. (I love you, my little phone...bff! Please....don't be mad at me.)

Here's some of the new stuff I have been working on this past week and today:

1. buttons galore. there's a new button line. it's super cute. i've even been adding them to my own knitting and crocheting. they are currently for sale at bliss yarns in brentwood, tn. new styles will be arriving this week! i will also be posting the buttons to the etsy site soon.
2. lots of fine silver jewelry. the above photo is an overview of a few pieces in progress. very exciting!
3. colored resin filled bezels. from jewelry to accessories to button to who knows what else i'll think up.
4. concrete filled bezels. same as the colored resin explanation above.
5. several custom orders are now complete and ready for delivery! yay (and whew! check.)

I only hope for another productive day tomorrow...and the day after that...and the day after that. Productivity...for he's a jolly good fellow!
