Tangent Mini in Chocolate Brown

I was looking at the bigger Tangents the other day. I'd had suggestions that I should try to make some smaller earrings. So I tried with Tangents. The original were 1.75" in diameter on the absoluter outer edge. These are 1.5". You can click the picture to see more information.

Curvature- Olive Green Macrame Earrings

I listed these today. They're called Curvature because, well, there's a curve in the design. I'm putting them in the Keyword Overload Collection even though they have no chainmaille. It's my collection and they do have macrame and they're asymmetric. :P

I've made them in red, a kind of cranberry red not fire engine. I'm going to make them in brown too, I think. If you like them, the earrings, and want to know more, you can click the picture.

Until tomorrow...or perhaps later

That bracelet sold yesterday. It was very much a surprise. The buyer had just signed up that day. I like to think she signed up just to buy from me. :P Who knows how true that is. I'd sure like to know how she found me. That was the first time a buyer-only bought from me. It made me feel rather special. Then I saw that one seller on Etsy has over 3,000 sales. I felt small again. Anyway, I mail the bracelet tomorrow.

I'm supposed to be working on more earrings. Though I think one earring will actually be part of a necklace. It would look better as a necklace. I don't have all the components I need for it. I'd like to use some chain and I don't have any. Bead store isn't open until Tuesday.

New earrings shall be listed in LP by rJax in the next few days. Hopefully tomorrow...if I get my butt upstairs.

I'm also having the hardest time trying to decide who to spend the money I have from the bracelet sale. Supplies, ad space or a little present for myself. Hmmm...we, er, I shall see.

I'm on a blog!

I found this blog on Delightful Blogs as a featured blog. I've been trying to promote my shop more and I think I'm kind of indie. So I sent her an email. I didn't think much of it given my success in the area of promotion. But she wrote back in a few days saying she would feature my woodburned pendant necklaces. I was thrilled.

I checked back the blog every day to see if I was there. But I wasn't. I got discouraged. I checked today, purely on whim...okay and anxious paranoia too. And there I was.

I'm so excited. Of course, I'm not the type to scream or anything. But it was a great time. I need this bit of encouragement. I can do this, promote, make things. I feel like I can do anything right now.

Oh and I also accomplished both of the goals I set for myself in the entry below. Today was a good day!
