Actually, I sold this one the other day (that was fast!) but you can still see it on our sailing jewelry site if you look through the sold gallery. This is my favorite! Madison and Malia went for a walk with our friend Carlos and found this am… more »

I finally got an Etsy Treasury! I made this one myself, decided to feature all the ice cream I could think of, but none I could eat. In fact, I think it is all vegan! lol Here is the preview: Visit the treasury here! Neapolitan Ice Cream… more »

So, I am willing to "do" facebook and all, so I am trying to be "with it" but seriously, folks, no more facebook messages. I am not just trying to be all hard-to-get or trying to be all holier-than-thou, but I really, honestly, can not use facebook m… more »

Our newest venture into monetizing our sailing adventures is now online and with any luck will take off before next Christmas. It took a good year to get Martial Arts and Crafts Jewelry up and running and it is paying our bills this Christmas, but we h… more »

We finally made it North to Grand Bahama, some week or so after we had first intended, but it was worth it. Every time we tried to make our way out of Gun Cay, we would stage the night before, based upon the forecast for morning, and wake in the mornin… more »

I finally got most the things posted on etsy for our sail sale and finished up the photography for the web site all in one deep gasp. We are moving our things onto the boat finally and hopefully these last boxes of jewelry will have sold before we have… more »

I was posting sale items all day on my Etsy Site, but in the end only ended up adding about 5 items. Etsy takes a very long time to add items, not to mention the initial photographing of the items and editing the photos to work on Etsy. I did get a… more »

Trying to sort out the boxes surrounding me as we prepare to actually load down the boat for cruising, I had a realization... "Gee," I said to myself, "I certainly do have a ton of jewelry that we are not selling on the web site." I am listing th… more »

I got new photographs for the origami peace crane necklaces! This one might be my favorite, or maybe the red ones, or the black one. Well, whichever one, I love this photo! I was so excited to finally use my macro lens, I took a bunch of photos o… more »

Being inside this past few weeks did have its perks! I got some much needed and long-awaited photography done for some of our products. I moved enough of our personal belongings onto the boat to clear a space to set up the lights and tripod for phot… more »

I finally got the web site sorted out for Martial Arts and Crafts Jewelry - our jewelry company. It has been "in the works" for about 6 months now, but with a day and night push for the past three weeks of being locked indoors and unable to move about… more »

I spent the better part of my day setting up a new photography gallery on Smugmug to replace my expiring shutterfly gallery. The shutterfly gallery has been alright, even though we have never actually finished the paperwork to get paid for the sales we… more »
