Nearly six weeks since my last post and it does NOT feel good to have neglected my blogging. When life was kind of routine, blogging added sparkle to me..meeting so many talented and warm-hearted folks helped revive my zest and interest in a lot of things.
It has been days of excitement and discoveries, the past weeks... As I had mentioned, I started selling Jewelry and some craft I make online and I call my line SWARDAA.
I have made some lovely new friends who have been very encouraging and also supporting my endeavor, and my family have been absolutely wonderful.
On one hand, while this has been happening, I have been also aware of a curious phenomenon.... some friends as well as relatives have been shying away from any contact since I announced Swardaa on FB. It is like they are afraid they would be compelled to buy stuff from me... !!!
I guess I should take the time to reassure them that as long as they do not expect offers of free gifts from me , every time I chat with them, I would not try to make them buy my creations... !!
Is it that painful to acknowledge or comment on a person's creative efforts?
Anyway, if I had been doing this as a means of my livelihood, I would have felt more let down by these so called 'close ones' . Since I make each piece with so much care, I rather see them going to people who are excited about owning them.
Now..venting over, I need to get on with the good things in my life. And for reading my vent with patience, I present a few of my creations here...
And there is a FREE GIVEAWAY on my Facebook page, as a Christmas special......A pair of festive earrings. Please click on the text and you can see it.
Hurry please . last date is 18th December 2011. Good luck and Merry Christmas.
I loved the last three of the four necklaces. The last one would (to me) have looked better if it did not have those pointy things at the end. Great way to go, Swapna!!! Also waiting to see your home decor updates. Do you do your beadwork in your craft nook?
