Painting, Jewelry Making and Laser Etching

I know I haven't been the best about updating the blog lately, but the truth of the matter is, I haven't had a whole lot of free time. Let's see...first we've been working hard to grow our laser etching business, Tagged Industries. We're finally getting some steady work in and have been etching everything from travel mugs to Kindles. Everything has been going well and I hope that it continues to do so. It would be great to have a little side business. Plus, I'm having a good time doing it. I'll post some pictures here from time to time, but check out our blog at www.taggedindustries.com if you want to see more photos.

Second, I've been doing some freelance jewelry work for EK Success and Spotted Canary.com. Our friend Nicole introduced me to the group (Thanks, Nicole!!) and although I've only done a couple of projects for them so far, I'm hoping to become a member of their 2010 Creative Artist Team. I think it would mean more projects and jumping more into the jewelry making industry. I'm also really enjoying this and can't wait to do more!

Finally, we're having a baby in just 8 short weeks!! Doctor's appointments and trying to prepare for the little girl have keep us busy. In fact, I have an ultrasound this afternoon! This past weekend we painted the nursery, but we still don't have everything back together. Here are a few pics of the process...

I'll post more pictures of the finished product soon!
