I know, I never post. So I thought I’d throw out a quick update on what I’m doing right now, even though it’s past my bedtime and I’ve been plastering and folding all day. I’m going to open a second Etsy shop, since the only thing that really ‘fits’ my first shop is jewellery, […]
Hey guys! The Far Grove now has a Deviant Art page! I’ve been a Deviant Art member for three years, but TheFarGrove only joined up a week ago…and already the FG gallery has 18 submissions. It’s great to see my work all on one page like that…it reminds me of how many new things I’ve […]
I price my items fairly, based on the cost of the supplies plus the time it took to make the finished product. However, only a dodo would fail to take into account the downswing the economy has taken in the US (where most of my customers are from) even if the economy HERE is not […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
