Sales and reductions

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 […]

I’m SORTA feelin’ groovy!

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:

So I got my craft table cleaned off, then went underneath and threw […]

Time to get organized…
