Well my deadline for opening on Etsy came and went... My stupid debit card company locked down my account because Paypal posted some test deposits into my account. They had me in tears...I tried to set up this Paypal thing so a sista could get paid but now I need to reevaluate my Paypal options. In the meantime, for being bad business I dumped the previously mentioned "stupid debit card company" for a REAL bank. Complete with tellers and deposit slips. Whoo hoo! I wanted all my ducks in a row before I posted product so I am starting over this week. Eric in all his wisdom said something like"Did you think it was going to be easy and you wouldn't have problems? The devil is not happy that you are doing something you love and he's trying to mess it up. Consider it a minor setback and move forward". Then he vowed to take care of me until the I got the account unlocked .....Wow who knew I was dealing with a philosopher ova' hea'.
This weekend I worked, then went to some friends of mine baby's naming ceremony. It was nice, very sweet and that baby boy is a doll. Just cause he's cute I make him stuff-beanies, a tam, and most recently a teddy bear, that I sewed on the machine..... His parents appreciate the art of making stuff and are supportive of my handmade endeavors. These parents had a friend who is also an artist, shes on Etsy already. They introduced us at the event so we could discuss the possibility of sharing a booth at a local craft fair. She does really nice paintings on vintage fabric. I will include her link here once I get her permission. She's inspired me to sculpt some birds of some kind.....hummm
Eric got an ipod for Dad's day(which was quickly filled up) and the kids painted a big banner that read "Happy Father's Day" and we hung it over the kitchen door.
Creatively speaking This weekend I made a handful of skulls (from poly-clay) and some beads that look like little pillows, all to be made into earrings. And today, I sold 2 pair to a co-worker.
I also ordered some black jewelry boxes and got some hot pink ribbon for packaging. LOVE LOVE LOVE Pink and Black. Can't wait to impress people with my fancy packaging... lol
Abruptly, I'm ending here so I can work on this Paypal craziness before bed. Stay tuned
