Some good news!

First, somewhat OT: I'm almost done with my physical therapy. I've got most of my range of shoulder motion back, though I still can't fasten my bra behind my back. I think I'll find a health club somewhere nearby where I can continue to work on my shoulder strength and flexibility, but at least now I'm functional.



Second, on topic: I'd mentioned that I make jewelry while chatting with the therapy people, and several of them expressed a desire to see what I make. So today I hauled all my merchandise up there and spread it out on the break-room table, and my partner sat and kept an eye on it while I did my routine. I got almost $200 in sales! And it wasn't just the cheap stuff going out the door, either -- a couple of my good necklaces found homes. Not bad, for a customer base of less than 20 people, half of them male!



So now I'm energized, and feel like making new stuff again!

Oh WOW! That is fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! **insert happy dance here** Congrats! And at least as good as the cash is the knowledge that your work has been appreciated!

Hot damn! Good going...

THANK YOU, Celine. Because making jewelry wasn't on the list of things I was planning on doing today, and now it is. And GOOD NEWS on both fronts, therapy progress and sales for you!
