I've Created a Monster!

Everybody needs a new hobby once in a while right?  I can't even remember the last time I started a new hobby.  It was probably quilting, which I started at the young age of 19.  Over the years I have made and created other things, but usually only one or a few...not enough to qualify as a hobby in my eyes.  Well, my friends, yesterday I learned how to make earrings.  It was fabulous!

My friend offered to teach me the basics so I went over to her house.  We sat down and she showed me how to do it on one earring, and then I got to make the other earring in the pair.  Here is the first earring I ever made in my whole life.  It has a red, green, and clear ball on the end.  Consider me hooked.

Then we went to Michael's for supplies and boy was I overwhelmed...there are so many things to choose from.  I got my basic supplies and then looked at beads: crazy!  I just couldn't decide on anything, while my friend was choosing all sorts of beads.  I was thinking, 'wait, wait, wait, let me think about this.'  I think since I am new to this I don't have the creative juices flowing, but I know they are in there somewhere.  I chose some silver heart beads and some round red beads.  My friend gave me some purple beads as well.  Here are my first creations:

What do you think?  I am debating whether I want to try to start a home business selling crafts.  Would something like this sell?  My friend wanted a pair right away (which made me feel good) so I made her a pair before I left her house.  She got hers for free since she helped create this new monster.  All I could think about last night was beads: what kind do I want?  what's out there?  how can I get more?  what should I make?  Here comes my new obsession.  Hopefully our pocketbooks will survive.
