Wooo hooo!

Just had my first ever Etsy sale. It was only a handmade felt heart, but you have to start somewhere. Feeling very pleased.

I have been on Etsy a while, but with no success and had let most of my listings expire, but a friend of mine has recently started selling on there and has been doing ok, so I thought it might be worth giving it another try. So last week I spent some time list some new items and having a sort out. I decided to go on the Etsy forum and see if I could get some feedback about my shop as this can be really useful. Not only did I get some really positive as well as useful feedback, one of the people looking also brought something. Yey!

So this as well as a really nice hot chocolate at lunch has cheered me up. I am not very good in January and the grey weather doesn't help, roll on spring time and lots more sales!!

Grey Day

Not feeling very inspired today. I felt quite positive yesterday after finishing my Valentines Heart Brooches. Have started to list them today.

But now I am struggling to think what to make next. This isn't really like me, as I normally have a big long list of things I want to make. I think part of the problem is that I feel like a should work on some more new things, but the trouble with this is having the time to develop my ideas properly. Rather than' I have two hours spare lets making something.'

I was lying in bed last night thinking what to do next and my mind was blank. I think maybe I am thinking too much about a change in direction or brand new items and maybe work just naturally develops with time and it doesn't need to be such a big thing.

I don't think January, diets and greyness help much either.
