Well, it's my usual yearly musing time I suppose. Maybe this year I will finally become more effective with my social media postings. (Don't hold your breath... I was never good at writing in a diary either).
Anyways, I'm staying busy, I have been trying to learn to make clothing this past year. I expanded Hearth & Home to allow for some traditional Gypsy themed items (Gypsy Wares), and while creating those items, I made a few Gypsy dresses. I enjoyed it a lot! Vasha Martinek gave me some good advice and suggested I not limit myself to period clothing, soooooo out of that advice, the idea and even the name for the 3rd little shop was born, Urban Gypsy Clothiers. Both shops are quite small, and I'm "learning" still. But Vasha was the total inspiration for this lil' venture. Hopefully one of these days, I'll be out of the "newb" phase of clothes desiging. Hey this boot junkie has even made a few pairs of boots! So it will be interesting to see how the next year plays out.
I was trying to think of a way to rename the blog, and newsletters so that all 3 stores could be recognized. It is funny the acronym for them is HUG - Hearth & Home, Urban Gypsy Clothiers & Gypsy Wares... LOL I found that rather amusing since I'm not the *Hugs* kind of girl. So I'll kick the idea around some more, hey maybe I'll bug Vasha for more inspiration!
God bless you all and I hope that 2012 is a very happy and prosperous one for you!
*Hugs* BJ (well, maybe I can get used to that! *giggles*)
