It's here! Such a fun time with family and a break from work. I've always enjoyed this season with getting together with family and well, food. Now that I have kids of my own it's fun to see them with cousins playing around together. It seams as if the retailers always skip Thanksgiving holiday and jump right into Christmas after Halloween. Well I'm certainly celebrating this time of thanks and I wish you all the same. Relax and eat up!
Holiday Schedule
Now is the time to place your orders. Well you have maybe 1 weeks before it won't make it in time for Christmas. This is a busy time of year and packages can have a hick-up because of weather, etc., so please order soon to make sure there is no delay in receiving your items.
A few Rings I just finished
Crafts "My Way"
I've always have loved to make things with my hands. All growing up I found things to make from woven string bracelets to leather work. I preferred staying home to make things rather than go out to a party or have fun in other ways. Now that I'm all grown up and still growing up, I still prefer to stay at home when ever I can to make something rather than go out and tour the city. The only difference now is that I don't have much time to do the crafts that I enjoy. Work gets in the way of my hobbies as it does with most of us and when we have time we are tired and have less energy than we once did especially if you have kids like I do.
I feel I have even less time now with a job and a family and my side art that I make and sell. My crafts are more of a hobby because I can never find the time to work on them and selling them may cost too much for most people. The time that goes into making some things I don't feel I could ever get paid what it's really worth. Either way I don't want to not offer it for sale either. I will start to add crafts to my crafts section as I finish projects. There will be very few and the price may or may not reflect all the time put into the project. I'll have to decide that when I list it.
My crafts will consist of a variety of things. Leather work, coil pots, gourds, or any other mixture of materials used to make them "my way". They are made with love since they are done in my "spare" time and I do my best to use natural materials. I hope you'll enjoy viewing them if you are not purchasing them. Fun Fun Fun. :)
Close one
So I was working on my site of course and I ran into a snag. I could not get the shopping cart to work with variant options the way I needed. I found a workaround that has to do. So when selecting a gold ring to buy you will have to just add it to the cart and then a popup will allow you to add the metal color. Just that simple. It's one of those hidden simple things that hopefully doesn't confuse anyone.
Let's try some marketing
I always try my best to do everything. There is a lot to do and I get behind (videos still coming like I've mentioned in the past). Well, I thought I need to start marketing my work now that I have quite a few bands done. I'm doing my research and I'm going to start experimenting with it. I hope that I can figure it out. Wish me luck. :)
