I have to be out of town most of Saturday for meetings but I plan to take my crocheting with me to continue to build inventory. I listing two new items today so hope that brings in the customers. :)

How is your weekend shaping up?

Retaking photos super early in the morning because that's the only time my apartment gets light. Also hoping my new fabric arrives. Nothing gets the creative juices going like new materials.

Crossing my fingers that my yarn order arrives in tomorrow's mail so I can create lots of inventory this weekend. Other than that, my son has a soccer game tomorrow that might get rained out. I also need to work on some options for taking photos indoors. The weather is working against me and I know it is only going to get worse as we go into the winter.

I want to write a blog post about a kind of a photography competition for my former buyers. Basically I want their photos ;) This will be linked up then in the message to buyers field.

And I want to finish an order for 3 Christmas Stockings (1 more to make) and take great photos of these.

And I also have to photograph my Three-Arm Sweater again in better lighting.

Adding more color to my product presentations and working retaking photos in the day!

I'm taking a little roadtrip to purchase more packaging supplies and some beads for a few ideas I have:)

My husband has to work and my truck will be in the shop so I'll be spending at least Saturday building inventory for the upcoming shows I'm participating in.

Football! And it's my birthday :)

We will watch 2 sons play in 2 football games, which involves some travel. I will stitch in the car. Keep listing, keep working...enjoy the Fall color and weather.

Today I will finish tagging items to take to a local pumpkin patch that runs for the month of October. I have had my outfits and hairbows there for the past two years and did very will. Saturday is football and Sunday ischurch!!

Sounds like everyone is busy busy busy.
Thelma, that pumpkin patch sounds like a fun place. I bet you sell lots of your items!

I just completed my first ever fair. I had a booth at one of the small local fairs. It was a good learning experience before I do some of the larger ones starting next weekend. I also got some great ideas on more places to shoot, handed out numerous business cards, and may hopefully get some sales on my websites do to this event.

Now, I need to find a way to take off my boots so I can change into my comfies and relax.

Ive been working today on my Etsy items painting away. I will be listing more in the next couple days.
Have car in shop getting spruced up to sell. Just got a new Grand Marquis. Going to take it on a spin tomorrow to visit our son and fam. Time for 'nana' to to spoil the granddaughters. :=]

I am still fighting the flu, re-newed a couple things this morning. After resting I checked my stats and with only 37 views I had made a sale!! Hope to be more productive starting tomorrow!!

[Former_Member]

Well Ive changed my banner to a Christmas one, sold 2 boxes the last couple of days, listed a few more now I'm working on small stocking stuffer's.

I'd like the team to acknowledge that it's nearly 2 am over here so I'm self censoring and going to bed rather than spouting my usual questionable rubbish.

Night all x

[Bleuets]

So many postings to do, so many items are waiting their turn, but mornings only for great light! Living room looks like a flea market. And eventually looking for a new camera...

Today apart from cleaning the house (so boring!) and do the groceries, I worked a little bit on my tags, then went for a long walk, and created 2 new products. Tomorrow I plan to take the pics, describe them and tag them, and hopefully create more products!

[philosophiacreations]

My weekend wasn't really centered on my Etsy store, though I did take much of last week (including a chunk of Friday). I mentioned this in another thread too, but I spend a chunky of today scoping out a spot where an upcoming sale is going to be next month... making sure that I wanted to commit to it.

When we got in today we went for a visit at my boyfriend's mothers' place. Then since arriving back home, I've gotten a start on promo for today. Tomorrow I was supposed to do another sale which has been cancelled, but it works out anyway. Our phone (but not internet) has been down so we'll be waiting for an Aliant guy to come all day; I'll have plenty of time to do promo then. So that's the tentative plan. And then we're going bowling. :)

I have a lot of new beads lately after a few shipments came in, and that's pretty exciting. I'm feeling inspired overall. Tonight in the time I've had free, I did put together two bracelets and finish off a necklace I had started last week. I had them in my head since ordering these beads and it's fortunate that the product actually looks like I originally had hoped when I bought the stones in the first place... that doesn't always happen. At some point before Monday, I'll have these photographed and listed.

Oh and for the rest of the night, I'll be doing more promo posting in different teams.

[NakedRatDestash]

I finished 1 custom order and may have another. Took a nice nap today. Now going to vacuum...:P

When I worked in an office enviroment years ago and didn't take lunch away from my desk, the afternoon was unproductive, I was grumpy and watching the clock. What's my point? All work and not play makes us dull, uncreative and burn out will set in. This is my opinion of course, however, many of us do have families, other interests and obligations and to keep those creative juices going we need to step aside, breathe and enjoy the pleasures of life let alone catch up on the laundry and get the house clean and chores done before another work week sets in. Maybe read a book, take a walk and just breathe. I try to do this as much as I can. I start very early since I get up at 5AM and hit my computer before I work on the repurposing of my furniture or crafts. I take a break for a lovely cup of soup at my computer again at noon return to the shop and stop work by 3 or 4 in the afternoon to enjoy the evening with my husband. Weekends are spent with my family. At the LEAST Saturday and Sunday catching up around the house. I hope this might help some of you. We all have the line in the sand that we need to heed. I've learned what mine is and still push it too far many many times I'm
not perfect NEVER EVER will be. I love dearly what I do, and it becomes an obsession. But I need to take care of me if I'm going to stay well and creative to keep my business moving in the direction I desire. Enjoy your day to the fullest everyone. Whatever it is that you do today! :)
Fondly, Brenda :))))
