Back Full Circle

So, after being on Folksy for 4 months without selling a single thing, I am moving back to Etsy.

I will still keep a few items on Folksy but not many, as for some reason I find it difficult to add photos the right way round on Folksy. I'm not sure why, but when I try and upload photos Folksy always seems to turn them upside down or rotates them to left or right. I imagine it's probably something to do with the way I take photos on my phone, but I don't have the same issue with Etsy.

In the meantime have a look at my Etsy shop (on the right, or by clicking on the Etsy tab at the top of the page). I try and post at least one new item every day so there us bound to be something to take your fancy!

New Folksy Shop

I have managed to post a few items on my new Folksy shop (in between stressing about improving my work life balance and stressing about the play I'm directing).

I am trying to concentrate more on having a range of different items, rather than just necklaces and brooches. I am also trying to put more emphasis on keyrings and earrings.

Here are a few of the items I have uploaded already:

A lovely vintage style heart brooch with a flower.

A flower necklace made with one of my favourite flower motifs and with a crocheted chain of leaves.

A little doll keyring made in the traditional Japanese amigurumi style.

Can you tell I'm trying to force myself to include picture in my blog posts? I'm a very wordy person naturally, I always think a thousand words speaks better than a picture.

Easter.... yay.... *collapses with exhaustion*

Well, for saying that I have had 4 days off work for Easter, I can honestly say I feel worse than I did before we finished. I just feel so drained. I've been to church 3 times to sing in the choir (and managed to break my voice singing the descant for the final hymn), I went out to the pub with a few friends on Friday and felt dreadful all day on Saturday even though I didn't drink that much (well, 3 pints of cider, but I never felt anything more than tipsy all night....) and I've posted a few items on the Folksy shop to get it started.

Apart from a bit of housework that's all I've done. I haven't even got to sit in the garden because the weather has been a bit too chilly even though the sunshine is lovely.

And I'm exhausted. And I have a sore throat. And I have to go and supervise a rehearsal later.

At the moment I'm just holding on to the fact this time in 6 weeks, I will A) hopefully still be in bed, and B) I will no longer be directing a play.

New Folksy Shop

I have just opened a Folksy shop.

There is only one item there at the moment. I feel a little disheartened that I have only sold one item on Etsy so far so I thought I'd try something new.
