Somewhere to begin

This is typical of me....starting a new project at 11 pm when I should be putting away my beads and paper and going to bed. I'm going to try this blogging thing, although I'm not one for keeping a journal or diary. Short attention span.

In my posts I intend to focus on my craft work and maybe my day job a little. We'll see how it goes. I guess I start with a short introduction. My name is Erin. I grew up in Upstate New York, and now live in Richmond, Virginia. I have degrees in psychology and interior design. Currently, I make my career out of the latter. Before returning to school, I worked in theatre and opera; making, moving, fixing, buying, painting, and/or building props. These days I work at a very small firm where I design bank and office interiors. I really like it. And if that's not enough of a creative release, I am trying to make my crafting hobbies into more of a business. I have a shop on Etsy at ergodesign.etsy.com. I'm selling bead and wire jewelry and decoupage/collage boxes. I wish I were selling more, so hopefully talking about it publicly will help! I'm also very interested in learning more about materials and techniques, so I'll be searching other blogs for insight.

But now to bed.
