Another New Beginning.

So. Here we are. Yep, I have started several blogs over the last few years, because I clearly have an issue with making decisions, and I also have a wide array of interests. Well, since I've joined the world of Etsy, handmade, art, DIY, and other crafty things, I've decided to join the craft/art/diy blog world too. Hi! I'm Lauren, and I make artistic jewelry using wood, paint, stamps, stain, ink, and a variety of other things. I sing and write music in a band called The Slater Sisters (currently on a temporary hiatus due to life events such as babies and house-buying). I married a musician who was also in my band. His name is Frank and he makes my days very happy. We recently bought our first house in Newbury Park, by a large mountain called Boney Mountain. I'm a bit of a city girl, so when I hear a pack of coyotes yipping nearby, or a screeching owl overhead, I run outside to witness the beauty of wildlife (often against my better judgement, since I sometimes let my indoor cats go gallivanting around as well. But I've thought better of that at nighttime, since I don't want any of them to get picked up and taken away by a large bird's crazy sharp talons). Anyway, thanks for welcoming yet another blog from me, as I grow my jewelry business slowly but surely, and share tidbits of what I learn along the way.
