elpy [Closet]



So because I'm more than a little obsessed with organizing at the moment, I decided, on a very big whim, to open another shop. Yes, that bring my total to three but there are really only two active shops. I'm calling it elpy [Closet]. It's for destashing. I buy more than I need so I'm passing it on. It's pretty bare bones now, but I'll be listing more in the coming days.

I feel almost like I had a second child. (IRL there are no little LPs yet) It's exciting but tiring as I divide my attention between the two, do what I must to make the adjustments, fill out the forms, settle into a routine.

It'll make me work harder on elpy [Handcrafted]. My item total will drop drastically once everything's been moved over. I think it'll be easier to look at, easier for me to see what I have, what I need to make. I think it's a good move. I'm pleased.

Where does my resolve go from day to day? It's most confusing.

Finished those magnets and another set yesterday. I love this particularly photo. (It's clickable, as I always try to make my item pics.) I'm resisting the urge to rephoto all the others. Maybe one at a time, over a few days I'll do it.

So my super-secret earring project, that has been burning a hole in my brain for over a year, is on hold again. I need a bench pin. I didn't realize, being such a fanatical DIY-er (and being broke as a joke in the past and therefore taking no class), that it helps you saw straight. Yeah. *doof* So the hunt is on for one.

I've started listing sewing patterns. I hope they sell. Mom and I have oodles. *crafty hoarders* I'm only going to list uncut ones. It bothers me some that I now have two destash sections in my shop. But I think it's better than to overrun the first one with patterns. I know there will be a lot. I'm all about organizing right now.

Slow work continues on my site. It's kinda fun to read something and then code it. Old school from way back, WHAT?!
