In news that is not fun: my health is still causing a lot of trouble right now. But I have fun news as well! My supply order was made…and arrived sooner than expected! Not only that…I made my new work area! To do this I had to:
And the result?
Then I left two shelves for books and the central one for supplies. Said supplies before I unpacked them, yesterday, and then after they were unpacked and organized:
I’m glad that’s done! It was a huge job, putting away 80 strings of beads! It may not sound it, but it’s actually very fussy work, getting them off the string and into the little containers without letting them spill all over the place. Then this morning, I took one of the supplies I found most interesting…a bag of wooden discs in different sizes…and made a pair of hairsticks. I call them ‘Groovy’. Take a peek!
So all things considered, it’s not going too badly. 
I only make orders from my main supplier once or twice a year, because shipping is VERY expensive (even the cheapest option) and the discounts are WAY better if you order in bulk. So I make giant orders to save on shipping and get nearly 50% off what the cost would be if I was […]
Well, I did actually do a set of floaters and I even tried a black and white clippie…but they’re not turning out as I’d like. I think I’m going to have to go with something a bit more unconventional. It’s VERY hard to make a clippie look anything but ‘cute’, and floaters mostly fit in […]
There really has been nothing to say, this month…until now.
I finally got my hair chopped off to a VERY short cut again (not that my hair was ever longer than just-above-the-shoulder) and it has increased my desire to make more short-hair accessories. Also, I turned 30 at the end of May this year, and […]
Etsy is STILL down. But at least I know the reason why. Etsy moved their servers to a new data center…which means that their IP addresses have changed. Some ISPs update daily on these things but others are slower, more like once a week. So anyone who has an ISP like […]
For the first time in a while I felt a bit excited about something I was going to list on Etsy…and Etsy has been down for the last five hours. I can’t get it to load at ALL, let alone log on. So I’m going to have to forgo listing today unless it comes back […]
I’ve decided to use this blog primarily for information and contact purposes rather than for promotion, and as such there will be no such thing as scheduled updates, any more. No ‘definitely once a week’ or anything of the kind. If I have something interesting to share, I’ll be around…and otherwise this blog […]
I am currently re-photographing sticks and altering some sticks that I don’t like enough to put up for sale ‘as is’, so I have nothing new to show. My health is moderate-low at the moment but I’m still getting a few things done, and my tulips this year are wonderful. I encourage everyone out there […]
I am the kind of person who would LIKE to be sentimental…but just can’t manage it. It seems so unfeminine, to be almost utterly lacking in sentimentality. I don’t look at old photos with any sense of warm-fuzziness, I don’t look upon gifts as talismans or signs of love (though I do remember who gave […]
I am currently suffering a severe lack of strength and energy, lately. I have been managing…barely…to do the most basic parts of my routine. Listing items on Etsy daily, for example. Eating, showering…biking if it isn’t windy…and that is pretty much it. I haven’t even been watching TV or going for groceries like usual…I’m really […]
