Think Spring! Blog Party:: Heavenly Flower

Who:: Leilani Cleveland Deveau @ Heavenly Flower
Business Established:: I have been making jewelry for over 11 years; decided to officially make it a business in 2002, although I am fairly new to the internet. After relocating and starting a family I decided setting up shop online would be easier than trying to sell at shows or give parties/face-to-face presentations.
What she does:: Custom keepsake jewelry for events or special occasions made by request. I work mainly in semi-precious gemstone beads and Swarovski crystals. I am currently developing a line of engraved metal jewelry and my site is being reworked to accommodate customizing. To keep myself creative, I have limited edition jewelry for sale on Artfire & Etsy (all accessible from my site) which are mainly comprised of leftovers from past custom work. Because of this, I price the pieces at next to no markup; there are some great deals to be had - so check it out! There is also free shipping worldwide!
How she finds balance:: By being flexible. For example, just his morning I sat down to work on a project that I am on a deadline for, and the baby is teething, so with her fussing it was not going to happen. So I spent the morning with my girls (12 months and 2 years), and after a nap the baby was feeling better so I tried again. I got more done this afternoon than I had planned to get done this morning, so now I am ahead of my deadline. At first the day looked bleak, but with a little bit of patience and flexibility, it all worked out.
Her best advice:: Beside the flexibility, put your health first! If I am tired I stop. I find that I work more efficiently anyway after a good rest. It's good to be driven and have ambition but if you are sick you are no good to anyone.

What they are giving away:: Three winners!!! $30 gift certificate valid for purchases from my Limited Edition Collection. Simply browse the pieces in my Etsy & Artfire Shops, accessible through my website. I am also giving away two $10 gift certificates for the same.

The piece I would choose for my momma would be the Peacock Blue Fossil Beads with Crystal Quartz and Hematite Circles bracelet. It's stunning!
