Border Collie Death Stare

THIS is what I've had to deal with. All night.

Finishing stuff

Today I am totally committed to finishing things off. Ive worked out a little system. Finished things go in cupcake cases and put to one side. Forrest Gump is keeping me company. Something about a schmaltzy set in the deep south film is so so relaxing. Of course I have just realized I am out of silver jump rings.

Expectations and Delivery


I set up a shop on Etsy. I'm turning out so many of these type of things and as trite as it may seem, they cost money to make and people seem to like them so I may as well sell them. I'm going to stock it with affordable OOAK treats and hopefully make enough money to replenish the materials I use so I can produce custom made pieces like the ever so secret HOME collection. If ever there was a case of split personality it is evident in my shop. Glittery spangles and bright overblown packaging, and the organic clean shapes of HOME. Head-desk. How do you choose what to make and do? HOME is important to me because it is an emotional message. HOME is wherever you are, or the things you love are. Glittery jolly trinkets sell well. Anyway, the shop will have a grand opening when the dreaded college Christmas Fayre is done with. Its speeding along now, only 2 more sessions to get stuff finished and sale ready. I will make sure to get discount codes set up and my packaging perfect but affordable and practical. I will get into some sort of routine instead of this chaotic shutting the world out craft binging I tend to do. These are the things I like to think about. Then I lose hours looking at online comics.
