I labeled it “not worth it” but that’s just me personally. I found that the supplies were too expensive for my budget and what I ended up with was usually not as nice looking as what I’d hoped for – I don’t think I’m really precise enough for a craft like jewelry making.
However, people who are good at it make some beautiful stuff and I wouldn’t want to discourage anyone from making it. I did at least learn to repair jewelry, which has come in handy.

I was hiking with my dad in the Smokies. We saw a small bear just off the path. It wasn’t paying much attention to any of the hikers; just minding its own business burrowing around. We did not wander from the path (VERY foolish to do otherwise) but just snapped a quick picture and walked the OPPOSITE direction of the bear. It wasn’t a great picture, but the important thing was to have proof and not be dead :)

I find I am much more motivated to clean if I decorate the cleaned room as my reward. It makes sense because as I clean out clutter, I organize and find things with which to decorate – things I forgot I had! I am going for an autumn/nature theme in my living room and nearly have it all cleaned/organized/decorated. It is so nice to be working my way closer to having a home that is refreshing and relaxing rather than stressful. Next up: kitchen, then bedroom, then bathrooms.
