Welcome everyone!

Hello all, this is the inaugural posting of my blog for my etsy shop "Seed To Bead"!

First, let me introduce myself. My name is Jessica. I am 24 years old, and live in Indianapolis, Indiana with my boyfriend of a year. I have no kids, but I still think I'm a kid myself :) I am an agency nurse, and predominately work at St. Vincent Seton Specialty Hospital in Indy which is a Long term acute care hospital. The easiest way to explain what that means is that we take care of patients after they get discharged from the hospital, before they get to go home. These patients usually need sometime of rehabilitation before they get to go home. Most of them are being weaned off a ventilator or trach, or have wounds that needs some extra TLC :) I am a LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) and currently taking classes online for my RN degree so that I can have many more work opportunites. I especially would like to work in OB/GYN or Pediatrics. My ulimate goal is to be a nurse midwife and deliver babies! This takes A LOT of schooling, so that's a very long term goal. You need a master's degree plus some...

I consider myself a normal 24 year old (for the most part :P). I like to listening to music or discovering new music, going to concerts, watching tv, going out with friends, and playing video games (The Wii and any mario games are my favorite). I also like to make things, which usually turn out to be gifts for people. I crochet, knit and bead. I mostly make jewelry, but I also knit scarves, hats and blankets, so it's not uncommon for me to be working on like 5 different projects at once! I like working with chenille yarn (it's sooo soft!), pearls, and swarovski crystals; but most of my creations are composed of tiny seed beads. My fav
orite thing to make with them is a daisy flower.

I am currently in the process of changing my shop over to a new account with that username. My current shop's username is aegirl750353, and when I attended a store critique on etsy last wednesday, Michelle said I should change it so that people will remember my name, and it will make it easier for people to find me again! So I'm under construction I suppose you could say :)


Ok, I think that is enough about me. Please come and visit my store! Let me know what you think! You can use this handy little aim widget thing i made and it will send me an instant message! just make sure to change your nickname by clicking where it says aimguest1234 or whatever, so i know who you are! I though it was nifty :P (I'm also easily amused)

My etsy store right now is www.aegirl750353.etsy.com
It will be changing over to www.seedtobead.etsy.com
