New products soon to debut!

I am now only working 3 days a week at my day job so I can have more time to focus on Revisions. Currently I am developing a few new offerings in the area of fashion and accessories...

I would like to ask a question of all of you out there if I may...

What is your one must have fashion item that you feel should be re-styled/bought new every season???

Great Reads...

Hey there! Sorry it's been so long. I have been on quite the ride as of late. Its fantastic none the less. Although most of my effort in the forth quarter of 2008 was dedicated to keeping up with my etsy shop business,

I have made a new years resolution to focus more on making my business more effective as a functioning independent system... I decided to hit up amazon.com to order some good books to get thinking more like a business woman and not just a craftsperson. I just finished reading Michael Gerber's "The E Myth" and absolutely loved it! This would be a great book for anyone out there who owns a small business or ever dreams of owning one. You will definitely find something you can use. Next on my slate is the "World Changing" book... This book is the must read manual for sustainability in the 21st century. Check out their website for more information and lots of really good online articles.

I have a laundry list of task to accomplish today, so I must be off. I will keep you posted on my next book selections!

Getting ready for the big installation!!!

Im so sorry I haven't posted anything in a while. I have been completely engulfed in the creation of an Anna Marie replica chandelier for Bay De Noc Community College's new Art Building. The project is wrapping up well and the installation is scheduled for Friday Oct 10th. This has been an intense project!!! I was working under an extremely tight deadline. I will be taking pictures of the installation and I promise I will post them. At that time I will discuss the process at length from how I put together the initial proposal, the presentation, contract signing, creation and installation.

Torn

Im constantly torn between the desire to stay in my wonderful, small midwest town and the lure and lux of the city. For example, today I just had to have 7 VOSS glass water bottles for a project. Do you think anywhere, anywhere, in a 50 mile radius sold VOSS water? Most places I asked didnt even know what it was. I ended up having to order a case from a remote far off source. Whatever, it will be here next wednesday. I cant tell you how many times I've had a craving for sushi, or just wanted a crab cake and apple martini from Joe's Stone Crab, only to come up empty handed and left wanting and waiting till my next trip to Chicago. On the other hand, no traffic, no crime, fresh air, just clean and quite Marquette. Not to mention "The Lake"! When I was recently away in Minneapolis the one thing that felt so different was the lack of water. Though, I hardly noticed while scarfing down nearly $100 worth of awesome sushi at Chino Latinos. 

I think they call it compromise.
