Sales and wool

This has been a good week for me in the craft department.

I sold one of my felt necklaces! I love them personally. I was creating things for the craft fair on Nov. 16 when I came up with the idea for them. I made one loved it and was like... wow quick and easy and ending up making a ton of them in different shades and lengths. I prefer one that I have in pea green on a cotton cord and I wear it frequently. Most necklaces with metal chains end up irritating me and turning my neck green. This one is so lightweight I forget I am wearing it. I just wasn't sure if other people liked it. Sure I did but I do march to my own drum. So I am thrilled that other people like it too. I even had someone request a custom one. :)

I also sold one of my fav. scarves to my team lead Lynda today. Now that i think of it I don't think I have a picture of that one. Bummer. I was going to upload a picture. I didn't even realize until now I never got a picture of it. It is so hard to explain, lots of colors, wide, long, and thick. Hopefully she gets a chance to wear it, I know Florida's way too hot weather doesn't give many chances for scarves to be worn. Lynda also custom ordered an ipod cozy. I'm excited.

I probably won't be listing every sale I ever make. I'm just excited because these are my first. It is so much more fulfilling to make something and sale it and to do it all yourself then it is to work hard for someone else and barely get noticed for your work.

Well I have a lot of work on my hands right now with the etsy shop. Things to make, descriptions to prepare. I'm so glad I enjoy it.

That makes sense, doh. Must remember to load pictures of things I am talking about.
