Lookie

Yay for supplies!

Lookie what I got. It's a square block of steel-y goodness. I'm so happy.

I searched high and low for this bad boy. (I don't really shop, I hunt.) I got down to two choices, both on *gulp* eBay (It ain't all bad over there :P) and went with this one. I saved $.18 between those two choices but about $12 from the highest priced one I found.

It's 4" by 4" by .75". The bead store near me sells the 2" square ones but I wanted it BIGGER! Plus the bead store ones are expensive.

I read and read and searched and searched until I found the ONE. Maybe I should name it.

Bought

I searched high and low yesterday. I wanted to buy a bench block. I didn't want to overpay. I saved $.18 on the one I bought. Er...a bit of a sickness I suppose. Bargain hunting. There was no rush or anything. When you're strapped for coin you do what you can.

I still need a saw and metal. But sometimes this year, hopeful before fall, I'd like to have some metal jewelry in my shop.

I need supplies

I really want to buy some metalworking supplies. However when I add up what I want, it's more expensive then I thought. Yes, I'm the child of math majors...that's doesn't necessarily mean I'm any good at it.

Anyway, my MACRAME earrings are all 10% off now:


I should probably make that an animated GIF but I really don't want to fight with Photoshop to make it right now.

Seriously

I like one word titles for blog posts. Easier to link I guess. I don't know.

Anyway, I'm in a quandry again. I got lots of hearts but no sales from the showcase. I did get a sale but I think it was from Treasury, because it was a listing that was in Treasury.

I think about LP by rJax all the time. It's stressing me out. I'm wondering if I'm emotionally ready to try to make this a business. I just don't know.

I want supplies to make some metal earrings. But I'm not sure it's worth it to buy more materials just to have the pieces sit there in my shop for months. I should create for myself and not to sell. But if it's a business, well...(technically it's not a business, yet)

And I need my own computer. Badly. Dad's put another stupid content watch thing on ours. I hate them. My networking skills for my shop are already pretty bad. This thing only makes them worse. GRRR!

That's it. No pictures. Flickr is one of the sites it blocks.

Birthday+showcase

There I am

So today is my birthday. I'm also in the showcase on Etsy. This is my first time being in the showcase. I picked a date I'd remember, but I should have remembered that it's also kinda close to tax day here in the US.

But there I am. It looks so pretty. I feel special...even though I paid to be there. I'd do it again. But I'll have to wait until later next month. Hopefully I'll get a sale so I can afford to sign up again.

Free shipping on anything in the store, too.
