Finally, I Have Pics

Finally I have pics!!  

These are not the quality pics going on the website but I wanted to give you an idea of what I've been creating. 
This particular pair of earrings measure about 3 inches in length, personally crocheted with gold-filled wire by yours truly.

Featuring two carnelian teardrop stones, garnets and dark carnelian round stones attached to the face of the crochet part of the earring.
Crocheted by yours truly.

As previously mentioned I intend to have my site up and running by the end of the month that's next week.

Here's a gentleman having a great time this past weekend for St.Patty's Day, you go Darling - have fun no matter what your age.

Updates on the Biz
It looks like I can finally see it all coming together.  
Website is about 50% completed.
Business Cards have been ordered.
The one thing remaining is getting the SSL (used to securely process credit cards.)  BTW I'm doing all of this through HostGator no way would I use the big name company ever again.  
What I'm really excited about is my site and blog will be together making it so much easier to update and post.
Most significant change is I'm changing the name to: Marti Magna 
more on this next week.

Thanks for visiting.

On a different note
The wonderful Lara from MyMilkGlassHeart
Wrote about Sarah a flight attendant who lost her fur-child in a three alarm fire along with everything else she owned - horrific tragedy.
If you can and any bit helps please visit MyMilkGlassHeart here for the Paypal email address where you can make a donation.
You can visit Sarah from Up In The Air here


Next week I intend to share a couple of the earrings I've downloaded onto my website. (soon to launch)

Wicked

This past Saturday night the HB and I went to see Wicked and It was FANTASTIC. The way the story line meshes in with the Wizard of Oz that we watched when we were kids.  The HB and I absolutely loved it.



This is news to me - did you know that Tommy Hilfiger's wife Dee Ocleppo is launching her own collection of handbags, DEESIGNS.

Guess which one I like...

Congrats on your new line Dee.
BTW, My fave is the Animal Print.
What do you think?  Do you like what you see so far?

The bracelet wraps around your ankle and consists of of Citrine, Smoky Quartz, Garnets Ruby's and Diamonds for 30k Euros. 

The process of creating your own Website
Moving on to the business of creating a website, I've set a goal for myself, the last goal was to launch it in January well we're now in March.  It's a redundant and meticulous process, for each piece of jewelry boxes and areas have to be completed providing information that correlates to that piece. 
One over-site and that's it, it's like a domino effect - I find myself backtracking to make sure all areas have been corrected.
Not easy for someone who has a mild case of ADD 
New target date April 3rd 2012

First Monday in March

Picture courtesy of Ellen King - Pinterest 

I Love Cherry Blossom trees, I'm blessed to have a teeny tiny one in front of our house... yes in the desert.  I wish their pretty pink blossoms would live longer than a few weeks.

It's the first Monday in March and Thank goodness the days are getting slightly longer each day.

All that we are is the result of what we have thought.  The mind is everything.  What we think we become. ~Buddha
