Made my First Sale on Etsy

Today was a holly day for Jews, it's Yom Kippur and in Israel it's a very special day. Because its a very religious day, no one drives. It's a whole day of peace and quiet. It's very special to walk along the streets and feel the silence. 
Since I’m not religious, i don’t fast like other people do, so i spend this time resting, reading books, watching TV. 
This morning I was super excited because when i opened my phone, I saw I had made my first sale through Etsy. I love Etsy but for the last couple of weeks I've had no time to visit, traveling from work to the US and the UK and I really didn't have time to make anything. 
So it was great that though i haven’t looked at my jewelry in a couple of weeks, i got a fun reminder that it's there just waiting for me.
the piece that I sold is this necklace which I love


and since it’s my first sale through Etsy i decided to add a little gift and made these cute hair pins from some buttons i bought a while back in the UK in the Nottingham market.



I had a lot of fun wrapping all of this up and i can’t wait to go to the post tomorrow morning and ship it out!!

Stupid but True

It is 5:06 AM.... I havent been out partying or enjoying an evening with my husband...No, for the last... I have been working (actually tried to calculate how many hours its been and i'm too tierd to be able to do that).
Its been a very long time since I pulled an all nighter, hell this week I've done a lot of things I havent done in a very long time. In the past month I learned more things than I have in the last 4 years. I'm talking about technical things, configuring systems, reading logs, writing scripts... my face twitches just thinking about it.
of course I had no time at all for my jewelry or my shop and the stats are showing it. what can I do, day job comes first. and at least i'm working on something people are waiting for.

you know how it is when you are beyond tierd, and you know you have a full day ahead? i'm too tierd to go to sleep....stupid but true....
