Plans for the Coming Months


Welcome to my blog. I've revived it from the internet wasteland (and removed all old posts. It had been two years since my last update.)


I will be the first to say that I am a slacker of a blogger.  Currently, I work on ValenStar Jewelry and Designs full time in addition to resuming full time graduate study in Interior Architecture and Design in September.  I live at home with my parents and our three heathen dogs (said with love, I swear) and make sure mom gets to all of her appointments and keep her sane now that she is no longer able to work. My business and my assorted other hobbies are a reprieve from all of the craziness that my life has become these last few months.  See why I'm a slacker blogger now? Only so many hours in the day. 

I have a plan to not be a slacker blogger! Here's what I want to share on this blog:
Upcoming shows and new listing newsletter-style post (all of the week's listings)
New products in my Etsy shop and website. I'm also slowly adding listings to Zibbet.
Ideas I'm working on - bead designs, cane designs, etc.
Other artists' whose work I love - I think this is SO important to connect with other handmade business owners but I'm also thinking about featuring some vintage shop owners and supply shop owners off Etsy.
Interior Design stuff - great interiors, great architecture, and great furnishings. 
Fiber stuff - My hobbies include knitting, crochet, spinning, and soon I hope to add weaving to the list. Got my eye on a Kromski Harp.

Goal: One post per week. I'll schedule it on my calender if I have to. Doubling up one week is allowed but does not carry over to the next week. We'll see how long this lasts.

If you see this, and know of a shop I should be posting about, feel free to let me know at valenstar @ yahoo.com (remove spaces first).
