45 Monies

I know that part of starting up a business is spending money, but I still feel bad about every cent I do spend. *chuckles* Today, I got hit by two pits — business cards, and beads. With the former, the 50% off on Vistaprint ended today, and I’ve had cards sitting in a basket for over a week waiting for… Read more »

Working Dinner

Today has been… a day. It started with waking up to find out I’d slept through Smalls being sick all night. She ended up having to stay home, and has to again tomorrow per school rules. She’s in good spirits though, and trying to eat, so she’ll probably be fine for Wednesday. ((and being sick meant more toast for her,… Read more »

Today, I constructed a lightbox prototype. It is exceptionally crappy and dubious, but I’m pleased with having it for experimenting. I even did a listing based on some photos I took… though admittedly, I did have to clean them up bit before using them. Still, it’s a step in the right direction, and I think that it will put is… Read more »

In some ways, our little jaunt to get lightbox objects was successful. Z picked out a nice sheet of posterboard, and one of the women who worked at Hobbycrack was able to locate the particular craft knife he wanted to buy (the retractable kind; they were hiding somewhere). We were less successful when we checked out the home store next… Read more »

This face, it is a tired, slightly frazzled face. This is the face of someone who is realising more and more with each passing day that part of having a small crafting business is spending forever shopping around for supplies. And that is, of course, balanced against me not wanting to buy more because I don’t want to spend ALL… Read more »

On today, the hottest day of the year so far — I left the house not once, but twice. I had an order come in last night on my way home from the pub, and then another one pretty much as soon as I had sat down and finished a sandwich after the first trip. Which was fine! I needed… Read more »

So like, all I wanted today was a huge pile of work to keep me distracted… so of course, there wasn’t. As you might’ve guessed based on last night’s post, my grandfather passed last night. I’m not dwelling on it or anything, but I -am- sad, and I -did- want something to keep my brain busy. The one upshot of… Read more »

I somehow managed to completely forget to blog last night… oh well. I’m sort of glad because it tells my brain that breaking perfect streaks isn’t going to break the world. I’ve got so much weird anxiety about that, which, I know. *doinks brain and chuckles* It’s silly. I’m mildly annoyed at Facebook right now. I decided I was going… Read more »

I was trying to take a selfie to use for tonight here, when my favourite little camera hog wandered over. We took a couple of amusing photos, but I liked this one the best for no particular reason. Jeze is on her way back home now, le boo. It was fantastic having her to visit, and we are thrilled there… Read more »

The Colours, Duke!

I just got get started in on my next cake of wool for blanket squares, woo hoo. I decided to go for the rainbow because it will be more fun to work, and because it was the one that was easiest to get to. I don’t know how many I will or won’t get done today, but at least I’ve… Read more »
