Must be the day Erin, it took me 6 hours off and on to get a turquoise out so I could re-size. Did not want to come out!

I made Frito pie for supper. Little J said, ew, that looks nasty. Then he proceeded to clean out his bowl. *eyeroll*

Re: Hot Weather, Hot Metal, Cool Chat - The August Thread

I guess I'm just lazy Pennee,
I'm also worried I won't do it right.
I'm not computery at all. I've seen Shopify shops linked to IG, and they don't navigate well at all.
I suspect the ones that do were professionally done.

Do you guys know any IG accounts that link nicely to a Shopify shop?

I had one of those days too Pennee. It took me 2 hours to make a pair of earrings that I usually can do in my sleep in half the time. For some strange reason I couldn't get them symmetrical. It was positively bizarre!

Frito pie sounds strange. I'm guessing there was cheese and ground beef in it?

Fritos on the bottom, cooked ground beef with onions, peppers, and garlic and chili spices, then cheese, all baked in the oven. Then salsa, lettuce, and guac on top. It was good.

It really was! We had extra bags of Fritos, and no one likes the plain ones, except me. I had to do something with them. This was perfect.

Frito pie sounds like a winner. Subway had a chicken sub they were putting fritos on and it was really good.

Our tennis league started today. My partner and I played in line 1 and it took us 3 sets to win it but we pulled it out. It was tough!! Celebrated with crabcakes for lunch with a delicious cajun aioli and coleslaw. yum.

Got to see our son for a bit tonight and we had pizza together. That was nice.

And I think I have an IG custom order for a ring with a crescent cut sterling opal. I just invoice from Paypal for those. save the transaction fees. I'll come back with the dust when it's paid.

Mine also links from my bio to Shopify. I've tried it and it looks OK to me. The ones I positively hate are Big Commerce and that one Erin had for a while. Omg some are just awful

I don't know about anyone else but I still get a thrill when I know I've sold something.

Every time!

I listed a few new things. Not so new, actually, but I am working on my backlog. Eventually, I'll post them on social media as well.

I adore selling stuff. I've been selling a lot more OOAK lately, which makes me happy. The cha-ching still gets me - every time. :D

I love hearing the cha Ching. My dh gets a bigger kick out of it than I do I think.
I've sold a nice mix of ooak and MTO this week. I cranked work today so I could work on 2 engagement customs tomorrow. One is rose gold and I always dread those. Yellow is a piece of cake compared to finicky rose. I can't believe no one can make a better solder

Re: Hot Weather, Hot Metal, Cool Chat - The August Thread

What makes rose gold have a pink tone? Is it copper?

My IG sale happened!! Does the Erin dance 💃🏻 and then I got one on Etsy. Remember when your computer said 'you've got mail'? Wouldn't it be funny if instead of cha Ching it said 'you've got a sale' in that same voice

Don't mind me - I'm exhausted.

Yup. Less silver and more copper in the alloy. If you like to suffer, try red: 25% copper, 75% gold.

Red is horrid looking to me, it looks like bad copper! I sold some by accident several years ago, the customer hated it. Said if she wanted a copper bracelet she could buy one for $10! Hoover sells 14k red and I thought RG always stood for rose. Oh no, only 18k and they call it pink. You'd think they'd join the rest of the US jewelry world for terminology.
I know most pros just use 18k yellow but I still try the rose solder first, sometimes I even get lucky and it flows

I actually like the warmer red gold, but it's all rose gold nowadays.

I don;t think I have ever seen the red gold. I can't understand why H&S names some of the stuff the things they do anyhow. I've seen that with several things. Do you still use their gold solder Pennee?
