Being True to Yourself

2012-08-26T15:30:00.000-07:00

Becoming a seller on Etsy was quite an experience especially when I saw how much competition there is. It seemed like a miracle if anyone saw the items I had listed and I remember being happy just to have one viewer. I felt lost in an Ocean of thousands of Artists. Maybe I didn't even know how to swim. But that wasn't about to stop me.

I contemplated what I enjoyed doing which differed during any given week. I tried several different routes and when they didn't work, I decided I had to be true to myself. The One thing I always liked doing was Painting. Sure sewing and making jewelry were hobbies, but I really didn't know enough about them to sell my creations. And my lack of sales just confirmed it.

Painting and Designing I had embraced and learned at a young age because of my family. People sought after my opinions on both these talents and I remembered what a friend had told me years ago. She said I could take almost nothing and make it look great. Hmmmm.... Well if she thought so, who was I to argue? And so it began. My quest ~ what to paint and what I would improve and call my own.

I tried to find things that I knew I could improve. Some were successes and some not. But it became my obsession and that's why I have such a wide variety of different items in my shop. Once I embraced my true talents together, my sales started to soar. I could barely keep up with my orders, and I had never been Happier. This is the true secret to success ~ getting paid to do what you love! Which is being true to yourself....

2011-11-22T05:54:00.000-08:00

I look at my daughter and strangely, as if time has frozen, it suddenly hits me: She’s three. When did she start looking like a little lady rather than a baby? Perhaps it’s right now that she’s begun looking so mature and grown up. Or perhaps it’s happened and I am just noticing it right now. I don’t want to miss anything new in her life; any new experiences both physical and emotional. I know one day she will become a woman with her own life to lead and the best I can do for her then is give her advice and support her dreams. As a parent all I really want is for her to follow her dreams and be happy. I know she will make mistakes and hopefully learn from them, have her heart broken probably more than once and be pressured into doing things she may not want to. All I can do is give her the love, encouragement and support to help her make right decisions that lead her to her Happy Ending. And by Happy Ending I really mean her beginning as a woman in love…

Yeah, I’ve been watching “Once Upon A Time” on CTV (Sundays @ 7!!!) and then AGAIN on Demand throughout the week in anticipation for the next episode. Our lives really are like a story written in a book. Maybe not with witches and fairy godmothers and trolls but one can definitely make parallels with the Fairy Tale creatures to the people in ones life. There’s always a wicked witch or some other form of evil trying to stop you from getting to your Happy Ending. One can also compare the evil creatures in Fairy Tales to real-life struggles and battles, whether emotional or physical, that one must overcome or conquer in order to keep the story going and reaching your goals. I guess that’s why the show appeals to me so much. But the underlying matter is that we all write our own books; we all have control over our own lives. Our outcome is based on the decisions we make and we have the power to change our lives; to make it what we want it to be. We have the power to write our own chapters of our lives. Things don’t always go as we plan but that’s why our book is written in pencil: we can erase the mistakes and make changes.

With all that said…………….. I have dedicated 2012 to me, myself and I. I am going to get my ass in gear and get that Teacher’s Aide job somewhere anywhere but hopefully close by. I am going to have my jewelry line take off into the sky and beyond the Earth’s atmosphere into the Universe. Oh yeah. It’s BIG time. No more screwing around. I am actually going to try this “schedule” thing. Maybe structure is what I really need. It will happen. And if you stick by to see it happen I don’t think you will be disappointed…

Here’s what’s been up with YOURS ONLY in the last few months via photos (I haven’t blogged in such a long time I could probably write a newspaper. Not just an article, the whole thing):

FALL 2011 COLLECTION.

SHOULDER DUSTERS now @ Fall Down Gallery (288 Bank St. Ottawa).

MEN’S ACCESSORIES now @ Elephant Shoes (1342 Bloor St. West Toronto).

GENUINE LEATHER TASSELS, beaded and wrapped, necklace or keychain.

I promise I will blog again soon. Besides, this is like therapy for me

Play time is Silly

2011-08-28T13:04:00.000-07:00

A Silly hobbie making Silly band earrings and adding a funky twist. Its fun for all ages young and old I too love to play with silly bands and this is how I play.

For all those who think this is just too silly here is your how to guide on playing with silly bands.

Step one embrace your inner child and its playful spirit.
Step two find your playful shapes and run with it. That it step one will lead you where you need to go. A fun and simple piece of rubber can be used to create some interesting designs.

Here is the "Sit up and beg doggie" I love the versatility of the rubber because I am able to move the parts of the earring into new and interesting positions. The doggie can aapear to be begging for a treat or going for walkies giving these pair of earrings a 2D design with a 3D vibes

Doggies Feathers Love rainbows and play time has just begone. You haven't seen nothing yet. I dont know where this love or working silly bands into my jewelery will take me but I am not very worry having too much fun and I am beginning to take the hint that Halloween is on its way as fall draws near. So cheer up and have fun with all the serious issues going on in the world it is always a good think to take a silly break and smile.

xoxo silly band fanatic

I jumped head first into Etsy Treasury curatorships and so far so good. So far my experiment into this has been successful for a bunch of shops. So much so that I have to keep it constantly updated due to the sales of items I featured in Braains!, Madly hatty! and Wing ding!. So have a look check out the crazy fun featured shop and see come awesome creations before they get sold. Here is a peak at one of my treasuries and here is how I did this on blogger it took a how to search in google search which led me to these two places. A big thanks to: http://www.handmadeology.com/new-etsy-treasury-tool-quickly-add-any-etsy-treasury-to-your-blog-or-webpage/ and http://www.whalesharkwebsites.com/tools/treasury.php for the awesome simple how to without your help I would be so lost.

Summer is almost here! That means lots of craft shows and fairs! We at ClayCatShop have been getting ready for a couple of months now, creating, organizing, tagging, pricing, etc.

Do you participate in shows? how far in advance do you start making new things? Do you follow a guide? We had our first show of the season last week, and to our surprise it was a wonderful event even when it was a cold and rainy afternoon!
Next day we were super tired, but very happy and grateful.

Do you have any experiences or handy info you would like to share?

We got our booth banner and table runners printed with http://www.dfsprint.com/ they offer amazing quality graphics that will last a life time. You can wash them and iron them after each show so you always look your best! :)

Remember our Matryoshka doll pendants? Back when we won the Top Etsy Shop's contest we were introducing our line of original "Moody Matryoshkas" which are now a great seller, with custom orders and special requests! Bellow you can see our latest designs :)

Posted on April 13, 2011 by yoursonlyjewelry

I have recently discovered that the Facebook Page, TOP ETSY SHOPS, has added Yours Only By Weronika to their list of LIKES! Thank you for the recognition. I think this is a big step considering the page has 4,809 fans and only a handful of other Likes.

Starting an Etsy shop has probably been the smartest idea for getting my collection out there. I’ve only had my website up since this past January and business has been slow, to be honest. This has made me feel a bit discouraged but i haven’t given up and I never will. I love what I do and to have the opportunity to stay at home with my beautiful daughter and create these pieces of jewelry that I’m so passionate about has definitely been a blessing. I feel so lucky to have the best of both worlds. I make things that I love; that I myself would wear and quite frequently do (advertising strategy). Sometimes things don’t come out the way I envisioned them so I either take them apart or re-invent them into pieces I am satisfied with. I get a slight case of separation anxiety when I do have to part with anything I’ve made, kinda like I get with my daughter, except for the permanent separation part. I really do need to purchase a whole Bead Store to make aaaall my ideas become a reality. But with time, they shall, and in the meantime I can come up with more and more ideas.

Every month on Facebook’s Top Etsy Shops, members get the chance to post a photo of something from their Etsy shop and if your photo gets the most “likes” you win Top Etsy Shop of the Month! So for April I have posted my Kid’s Springtime Fun Charm Bracelet and would like to request for everyone to go here: http://www.facebook.com/TopEtsyShops

and “like” my photo here: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=160288554031259&set=o.112188445467846&type=1&theater

Thanks for everyone’s support and hey, if we don’t succeed this month we shall try again next month!

Love, Weronika xoxo

My sexy find

2011-04-08T07:01:00.000-07:00

James Anthony Apparel, HOLLER!

by yoursonlyjewelry

Just yesterday, via Facebook, I purchased an awesome T-shirt dress that was up for grabs from my newly-found love, James Anthony.

I found this line of funky silk screen-printed clothing through Facebook (of course), on Top Etsy Shops, I think. Or was it Etsy’s Facebook page? Either way, we found eac hother via Facebook via Etsy. This guy finds black & white photos and images from the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries and transforms them into silk screen prints on sweaters, shirts, scarves, tanks, dresses and even kids clothing. Slightly eery but kick-ass nonetheless, he creates clothing that is totally the shit. My recent piece, and first of many purchases, depicts a Japanese woman’s head from 1901 in Bordeaux red on an ash grey T-shirt dress that can be worn slightly off one shoulder. And let me tell ya, I cannot WAIT to sport this thing, to dress it up or down, to chill in, to get all sexified in! It’s absolutely hot! When it gets to me I shall have a photo-op and post some pics. MUST check him out if you haven’t yet!

By the way, I got this for an awesome price, just $25.00 plus $3.50 shipping, and it was originally $54.00!!! HOW COULD I PASS UP A DEAL LIKE THAT???

Every so often, via Facebook, he has apparel UP FOR GRABS, all you have to do is be the first one to comment on the photo and it’s YOURS! Great deals!

I HEART ETSY.COM!

by yoursonlyjewelry

On March 16th I made my first official sale on etsy! I was super excited and even nervous because I realized how UN-organized I was. But in the end I packed up my Kids Under The Sea charm bracelet in a nice black and white box, wrapped it in black ribbon with a sticker on top and shipped it off to California to a woman who bought it for her niece! That was, I must admit, my nicest piece to date. I will miss it. Thank you for the purchase!

This month, also through etsy.com, I was commissioned to do four charm bracelets for a woman in Alberta, Canada. She saw my Kids Key To My Heart charm bracelet and fell in love. So much that she asked me to create two for her two girls, one for herself and one for her mother. These bracelets are not just cute charms. To her, they represent her daughter’s cancer being in remission for two years. Her younger daughter, who is now just three, was diagnosed with Retinoblastoma, a cancer of the eye that starts in the retina and is the most common type of eye cancer in children. This Easter, they will be celebrating her two-year anniversary of the cancer being in remission. These bracelets are very special to them, and I couldn’t be more honored and thankful for having chosen ME to create these! All four will be slightly different, with the same theme, and I will be adding a yellow daisy to each one. This daisy represents Retinoblastoma, just like the pink ribbon represents Breast Cancer. I hope they love their bracelets as much as I loved making them. Words cannot say how thankful I am to this woman for choosing me to make these special bracelets for her. I wish I could hand-deliver them to her home and thank her in person. She is an inspirational mother who inspires me to be strong and enjoy life and be thankful for what I have. I am so happy that her daughter is well. Thank you, again and again!

Love, Weronika xoxo
