MOVING!

Hey guys,

After a bit of perusing and too much frustration with Blogger, I've decided to move my blog.

You can now find me here: http://ariellerassel.wordpress.com

New beads, first sale, and more

It's hard to update often when you're not doing much more than spending days on the couch in front of the TV.

I feel like a lazy bum. 

It was a nice weekend, though. Saw the Soloist on Friday night... I'd highly recommend it to anyone. It was fantastic. Ran some errands, got some new stuff for the Etsy store. Hopefully I'll be able to post some new items soon :)

I made my first sale this week! Sold a few items, hoping to sell a few more before I leave.

I'm working on getting it really up and running, but really this is sort of a test run for the fall. Since I'll be abroad for a little over two months, I'll have to put the shop in vacation mode while I'm gone... I'm planning to really up the ante in the fall, with lots of new items, promotions, and marketing! 

Preparation for London is going well... It's starting to hit me, just how close it is. I can't wait!

Etsy! And other updates.

Hey everyone! Just checking in :)

My website is up and working again, so you can look for travel stuff there. www.ariellerassel.com

In other news, I've been trying to make the most of my time at home... I'm still getting my energy back up, so I've spent a lot of time confined to the couch, catching up on my episodes of House and Gossip Girl (oh boy). May I take this moment to mourn the loss of Kutner a month too late? SO SAD! I'm so addicted to House...

Being confined to a small area hasn't been too bad, though. I've picked up on my crafting again, especially jewelry making. I found some old supplies and I've made almost 10 necklaces and pairs of earrings, and so far, I've made four headbands, though I've got supplies for about 8 more. Yay! This means I've finally been able to open the Etsy store I've wanted to start for so long! Please check out (and maybe buy?) my stuff: http://honestdesigns.etsy.com 

Here's a few things I'm selling:

Going out for extended periods of time isn't really an option though... Although with the nice weather, I would like to try to go sleep in the sun. Get a tan, maybe. Work on my art history paper (ugh.)

That's all for tonight... Leaving for Europe again on the 22nd!
