About Me

Christine Gierer of The Jewelry Sweet Spot

I am a long-time Queen of the Unfinished Craft Project and currently a Stay-at-Home/ Work-at-Home-Mom of 2 young children. I have been a corporate purchasing agent, an artisan painter, and a mental health counsellor in my past lives (before kids). Now, as a mom, I work from home so I can raise my kids and be involved as much as possible in their lives. A year or so ago, I began selling my handmade jewelry but soon found it impossible to work effectively with beads and tools while taking care of my children. They love to “help” and it just did not work out.

So, since they are much better with me working on the computer (not too interesting to them I imagine), I decided to combine my love of crafting with my love of writing to create the Jewelry Sweet Spot.

And here it is!

Update: October 2007 - I have started an actual website called How-to-Make-Jewelry.com
