Personal Thoughts

What goes into a post

Yesterday I had a planned on posting how to make the zig zag design. Let me tell you what happened. This is also the work that goes into getting instructions up on my blog:

  1. I need the idea lol.
  2. I grab the camera and think through in my head while making the knot which step I need to take the picture.
  3. Make sure the cords are positioned right to make any sense in the picture and how I can explain it.
  4. Snap the picture. Then make sure that the picture came out clear. Also need to make sure I have fresh batteries in the camera so that the pictures don’t come out fuzzy.
  5. Continue with #3 and #4.
  6. Finish the knot and hope all the pictures come out right
  7. Upload pictures to computer
  8. Bring them up in Photoshop to crop and find out how many of them came out fuzzy.
  9. Realize that ALL my pictures are fuzzy and UNUSABLE!!!!
  10. Have to start all over again *sigh*
  11. Realize I have no time to do it all over again, it is time to pick up my daughter from school!
  12. Feel bad that another day goes by without these hemp jewelry instructions up on my site!

Yep, that is right, ALL the pictures were fuzzy and now I have to redo it all.

Anyway, I have a lot of ideas from the results of my poll I have up, thank you to those of you who voted. Hang on those posts will be coming.

Back in the saddle

I have been gone for the past week and finally got back online and ready to get things rolling again around here.

Thanks to those who have voted in my recent poll, as it helps me to help you with your hemp jewelry making adventures.

A bit on shameless self promotion…go vote for me over at Squidoo for favorite hemp jewelry site. I am listed as # 5 Kristy’s Knots. EveryDayGuy has got a great lens  on hemp everything over there. Lots of cool info that he has pulled together in one place.  If you have a minute go check it out!

I will be posting some more advanced knots within a week or two so make sure to check back or you can even sign up for my rss feed or email updates (over on my sidebar)

Just Some Notes

I know that it has been awhile since I have posted anything on here. Besides fighting off bronchitis, and ear infections, I am in the process of moving to a new home.

I want to thank those of you who participate in my polls. Along with my ideas of what I would like to post on my blog, it gives me a perspective of what my readers are wanting to learn as well. Keep your votes coming in :)

My hope is to make this blog a good resource for people who want to learn how to make hemp jewelry. It is fun, creative and a different media for jewelry makers.

Thanks again for your participation! More to come soon.
