Current

I'm destashing. That's an Etsy term for selling supplies even if you're not strictly a supplies shop. It was unintentional. I was cleaning up my room where my supplies are stored. Sometimes I couldn't help but smile, remembering the projects that some of the things were intended for. Some finished, some never started. Others I just way over-bought with no desire to make any more of whatever it was...as is the case with those bells. I made stockings out of felt as part of my Christmas gifts to some family members a few years ago. The cat sat on the leftover felt, ruining it with her super-shedding self. So I have bells and faux fur left. Not sure if I'll list the fur.

It's rainy here. Cold and rainy. If I ever complain about the heat this summer, just point me back here. Goodness, I'm so over cold. *sigh*

:)

Notes

Goodness, where has my writerly inspiration gone? I can think of nothing to say, rather can only report, that I listed today, relisted and listed. Quite pleasing.

I'm really liking my Box Top Photography pics. I took some more pics of supplies. I'm liking how I can play with that surface, move it around, walk around it, more easily than I can a table or some such thing. It's more portable, I can take it to where the light is best. Unfortunately, it only works for small items. I have a lot of those, but I like to use colorful backgrounds, especially for the magnets.

As for my personal challenge to complete an item everyday, I'm faltering, though today is not over yet. Last week yielded 4 pairs of earrings. (only one is listed, the rest need posts) So far, nothing this week. But I did photograph supplies that I'd been putting off for a while.

Post Picture: It's a pretty little setup in sepia (thanks to Photoshop) of a gift box with this magnet in it. I seriously adore the picture. If/when I get my own off-Etsy website, this will be on it somewhere.

Sunday

Found that today on Youtube. I was gonna post a video today, because I don't really have anything interesting to say. This one fits better than the others I was considering. It's crafty and environmentally friendly. heh

Enjoy!

Box Top Photography

I'm usually unsure exactly where to take pictures of my items that will yield a decent pic or four. (hehe) I started using the top of a box I had. I like the results. The following pictures are all clickable.

I did it! I took a self-portrait today, just like I wanted and wrote of earlier. I'm pretty happy with myself. I was taking pics of destash (supplies) things. I have some odd stuff laying around that I'm not going to use. This challenge has been a challenge, but it's rewarding, too. Getting things done that I'd been wanting to do for a while.

Ooh! Alchemy is back! It's probably not perfect, but it's back. I didn't realize it's been gone for almost a year and a half. (For those not in the know, Alchemy is Etsy's way of getting custom item requests to sellers...sorta.) I've never actually done an Alchemy, but as I've gotten a little more confident, I wanted to give it a try.

Post Picture: Me being gangsta. Haha.
