jedusor~"Something I Can Never Have" by Nine Inch Nails
I just ran across a woman selling jewelry in the campus cafeteria. Apparently you can do that if you're sponsored by a Penn Valley club and give them 10-15% of your earnings. I excitedly offered to collaborate with her, helping her make the jewelry, and she suggested I gather materials this summer and start on my own in the fall. Which is an excellent idea, and I'd love to do it.
Know what would have really made sense? I know this girl called Mollie in the homeschool group. She used to be a friend of mine, and she inherited a bunch of jewelry-making stuff, including a billion beads, from (I think) her grandmother. And she makes some really cool stuff; I'm actually wearing a necklace she made for me for my last birthday. But she doesn't have a place to sell the stuff she makes. What would have made a lot of sense would be if I talked to the people at the Advocates for Better Government group, to which I belong, gotten them to sponsor me, and then worked with Mollie to make and sell jewelry. That way, between us, we'd have the merchandise and the means to sell it. But? Mollie's mom is one of the people who thinks I'm a bloodthirsty child molester. Last time I saw Mollie, she wouldn't even make eye contact.
*sigh*
I might be able to do it anyway, though. Mom has some materials, and I can get more. The lady, Roxy, gave me some tips. Mom can help me learn the basics of beading (she used to do it a lot) and the rest is just creativity and hard work. I really hope this works out, because the money would be really helpful, and I really enjoy making things.
