Jewelry Burnout

I have gotten tired of making Jewelry.  For a year now we've tried to raise some money by selling jewelry on etsy.  We've had a few minor sales and actually ended up losing money.  We are going to let it die out.  I have several Kumihimo bracelets woven but not completed. I still haven't finished the 2 quilts. I have a bracelet and a necklace on the Kumihimo disks.  I have about an inch of Viking knit woven.  I have several unfinished quilts.  I have not motivation to finished any of these. I am burnt out.

I have decided I need a break from Jewelry and quilting.  I have found Interweave's 3 Simple Prayer Shawls e-book. I started it yesterday and it is very simple.   It is actually going up rather fast.  I do not possess any knitting skills so anything I knit has to be very simple.  I do enjoy knitting though it is sort of relaxing.

And I need to relax!  I worked from August 22 to September 2.  During that time I had a Trip to corporate headquarters to do some training.  I also had to take two tests on that training to get certified.  I am now certified as an SQF Practitioner.  I am relieved that I passed.  My boss had me a little nervous about the test.  This is certification was one of my annual goals for work this year.  I am glad I've taken care of it.

So now between jewelry making, quilting, and knitting, I have even more unfinished projects.  Plus we are heading into the busy season at work. As the saying goes, No rest for the wicked.  Maybe some day I learn to be good and can have a day off here and there.
