Here is my billionth attempt at a blog. It's like a life sentence trying to find one that works well, one where you might have a reading base, and one with which you might actually know what to write about.
I want a blog that's an extension of my work. A blog where I can come and talk about what I'm doing and what's going on in my world.
Funk and Finery is my baby. I design and make jewellery and have up until now, treated it like a hobby. I've literally only been doing it for 6 months, but am finding it to be an extremely competitive market. I really want to turn it into a working hobby that will generate income, but to do that, I have to not do what I always do, and that's to give up at the first hurdle. At the moment, with the little experience I do have, I know that I need to expand my knowledge. The hardest part of this is that I am going to have to teach myself for the most part. I have a wonderful friend who has taught me so much, but she's in Australia; I'm in the UK. There's only so much she can do for me. I can't afford expensive courses, or indeed get to the lessons. So here I am, on my little journey of discovery, and I thought I'd take you with me. See what trials and tribulations I encounter, see my successes and possible 'try agains because I didn't succeed the first time'.....
The first thing you should all know is that I will really struggle in public situations at times. No idea why. I like to socialise with people I've known for a long time, but even then, I can find myself feeling uncomfortable. So how to overcome this? I have no clue, but I want to try, because there's so much I want from life. I want to travel, I want a home to call our own. I want a nice sofa!
This'll doooooo for now! Just wanted to say hi to the land of Blogger. I'll be back tomorrow! :)
