Better get moving!

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 […]

Has the body become too big for the brain?

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 […]

Since Etsy seems to be down…

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 […]

Goodies!

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 […]

Mini update

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 […]

Which should I really be more excited about, I wonder…

The Far Grove has been busy today, due to a friend who has something of a following at her blog mentioning the shop.  6 hearts in one day and 4 items sold…I definitely don’t put it down to coincidence.  So, thanks very much, Res.  I really appreciate it.
Also since I’ve checked Etsy a few times […]

Comparing them to eggs, even the heaviest doesn’t seem very heavy…

Found a new way to convey the actual weight of my  hairsticks in my listing descriptions.  I now weigh them  before listing, say what weight they are in grams, and add that a large egg weighs (approximately) 70 grams, so people can compare the weight of the stick to something they are used to, something […]

Square or rectangle?

I used to browse through pages and pages of the Treasury at Etsy.  Now I never touch it at all.  I don’t know why that is…I think the novelty of it just wears off.  I also find that I keep seeing the same items…and most of all the same *sellers*…featured over and over, and that […]

Satisfaction for sale…

It is very unlike me to miss posting two days in a row, and if you noticed that, I’m sorry.  It’s  been a little…different, here, lately.  But I don’t think there are any religiously regular followers of TFG blog at this time so it is a probably a case of no harm, no foul. […]

I’m going to smell like a slightly floral fruit market.

Getting this place totally cleaned up again was great; I got 5 pairs of all-natural sticks (one with a bead drop dangle) done yesterday.  It just feels so much easier to do things when you don’t have to clear a spot to do them in, first, or if you don’t have to look for the […]
