Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It's off to work I go!


Yup, start of a new year, start of a new week. After two weeks vacation and the busiest part of retail life, it's back to work.

To be honest with you, while I enjoyed this time off, I am sort of glad to get back to work. Sure, I need to have my staff meeting so every department is on the same page (even though I am the only staff!), but I am kinda craving getting back into the grind. I actually spent some time over the vacation cleaning my studio. You wouldn't believe how messy it was. I'm thinking of posting the pictures tomorrow, so if you are curious, come back tomorrow to see the destruction!

I need to close my books for 2009 and plan for upcoming pieces. Towards the end of the year, I was reviewing ideas to branch out my market and if you make a visit to my Etsy shop, you will see that my categories changed. Sure, I love to make jewelry, but my interests have been branching out to other areas, too.

So, as you get back into the grind again, is it something you look forward to? What is your most favorite task? Least favorite task?
