Betwixt

The new continues
Originally uploaded by lpdesigns

This is the first of a new idea. New to me, at least. I'd bought a woodburning pen a while ago. I made a few things with it then crafter's ADD set in and I moved on to other mediums. Now, I'm back to it.

I wasn't that in love with this when I made I finished it last night. Now I think better of it. I realize this happens with just about everything I make. I think it's horrid right when I finish it. But when I look at it again later, even if it's just a few hours, I love it. Odd.

Anyway, I'm not listing it yet. This is my rough draft. But others are in the works.

I did list these. Not magnets, but a PIF. :)

100

Posts on my blog! This wasn't a goal but 100 is a nice number. I've blogged way more than I did last year. Not that that really says much.



I relisted these. You can click the picture if you want. New things are cooking. My supplies needs are growing, changing. My desire to make things, just about anything right now, is really strong and I should run with it. Why do I get so pensive?

Hmm. I finally woodburned a new design that I've been meaning to do forever. It's been on my to-do list all month. I don't know what I'll do with it. But after I made it thought, "Hey, this would look really cool bigger and cut out of wood as a pendant!" Yeah, that's how suddenly ideas come to me. I just wish the ideas I get would be for materials I ALREADY HAVE! *sigh*

Then there's this ebay listing. It's hilarious. She wrote it so well. It's going to end soon.

Blurble 8.20

Heroes comes on today. It's a repeat but I don't care. I love that show.

I finished a skirt that I was reconstructing. I wore it to church yesterday then kept it on all day. It was nice to feel girly. But I'm back to my t-shirt and shorts today.

I realized I simply need to make more stuff for my shop. I don't have as many items as I'd like to think I do. But lately writing is taking over my life. It's good, because I've been struggling with this project for a long time. Soon, hopefully. I'll just use some of my computer savings and buy the stuff I need. Though my Etsy bill is going to be huge.

Why

I bought 20 rare earth magnets yesterday. Why? I'm destashing! I'm not supposed to be going around buying more supplies that I don't really need. Sure, magnets were on my list of wants. But I think my list of needs should be addressed first. Particularly since all my Etsy money seems to be going right back into paying fees.


I listed these today. You can click the picture. Since my custom order, but views are way down. Things have ground to a halt.

I realized I've been Etsy for 18 months, now. That equals old. Etsy's only been around for two years. I'm not where I'd like to be with this. I'm not getting depressed like I used to, though. So I'm not where I was.
