welcome to my blog!

thanks for clicking over ... please check back often and I promise I will add more information on a regular basis.

A few quick notes on recent projects: I've added a page for Chris Caffery's lighted tux (of the Trans Siberian Orchestra) http://enlighted.com/pages/cafferytux.shtml - this was fun to make, and extends my series of lighted tux jackets as one of my most popular requests.
Also, I made a set of seven lighted dresses for the Christmas show at the Black Bear Jamboree in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. There were about 200 lights in each dress! http://enlighted.com/pages/bbj.shtml

major site update

This is always scary, when you change all the file names on your site (to improve functionality), while you risk losing some search engine hits. I made the upgrade yesterday, and so far, so good. Next step is to add a link pointing to this blog.

reasons for doing this

ok, it's a few days later and I still like the idea of starting a blog ... I don't update my website as often as I would like to, so maybe this will give me an incentive to add more timely content and updates about new projects.
Also, I get a lot of questions from people about wearable technology. Some of them are far too general to answer in a quick reply ("how do you make light-up clothes?"), but I do make an effort to answer the easier questions. It seems like it would be a good idea to start sharing these answers with a wider audience. So, coming soon in this space, I'll be posting a series of "ask Janet" Q&A. Please feel free to send me your questions!

blog virgin no more?

I'm considering replacing my newsletter with a blog, doing some tests ... we'll see how this goes.
