New blog

Stop screaming...it's not my blog. Wish it was, the idea is great. It's sort of a new way to feature sellers...and a reason to chat it up in Etsy forums.

It is April...yes?

That picture was taken today. Grr! I want it to be spring...warmer than 30 degrees. Silly Connecticut weather.

So my ad went live on Anything Indie. Look on the right-hand side. It's the LP by rJax one. I'm rather pleased with myself. Though I hope I get a sale to recoup the cost of setting it up.

I think I may have bite the bullet and use my computer money to buy some sterling silver and a jeweler's saw and the other things to make these earrings that I've had an idea for for months. I almost can't stand it.

I did get a sale today. It was a PIF ($.20) and I haven't gotten paid for it, so I'm not really counting it yet. I'm hoping this month will be different and I'll get more than that sale. If not, I may have to quit. Get a real job and go to school and figure out something else. Get famous some other way, then they'll be sorry.

I have sent emails to other blogs. Haven't heard anything back from them yet in the way of 'yea' or 'nay'.

Tomorrow, which comes in 55 minutes, I'd like to finish the brown Curvatures and the royal blue Tangent Reduxes. I'm not sure what color bead to use with the royal blue, though. Red seems like a cop-out. But none of the other colors match.

Oh well, goodnight for now.

:(

My emotions toward my shop and extending to life in general change almost hourly. I'm really low right now. I haven't been here in months...and that had been good. But a conglomeration of events, most of them small, broke me. I'm just tired. It feels like I have to fight a million people to get one view on anything. Much less a hearter and sales? I'm about to go another month with nothing. I can't take this much longer. I'm going to try to list everyday this month. Why not keep building up my debt to the world? That'll be $6 at the least. I'm in the showcase this month on my birthday. My birthday. I'll be 21 and I couldn't scareder or angrier. Meh!

I'm tired of fighting, of trying to make this work. Not just Etsy, everything. No one around me understands. I don't know who can help me. I'm alone...but I've been alone for a long time. Creating is something I love and I'll probably always do it. But it looks like it's the corporate world or bust. I hate the corporate world...working in it. It ties my stomach in knots...just thinkin' about it.

Well, this wasn't encouraging. It wasn't that carthatic for me either. I better stop before I start crying again.

I bought these on Ebay for a great price after doing alooooot of looking around. I'm so happy. I'm going to use them for a new grand idea that I've had for a while. It's kinda burning a hole in my brain...I just want to try to make them. (More jewelry. There can never be enough.) I don't have the rest of the supplies, though...like the metal to punch them with.

These are 1/8". They're smaller than I thought. They look like toys, but they're heavy. I can't wait to use them.
