Work

Day 2 of my new job. I'm tired...still getting used to regular work hours again. This last year, although difficult, had spoiled me in the respect of my sleep. I managed my own schedule and that was fun, however it wasn't paying the bills. Marc and I have struggled through some really tough stuff this last year. I know we're not out of the woods yet, but at least we now both have full time incomes. Maybe there is some light at the end of the tunnel...and it not be a train! LOL.

I've been thinking more and more about getting a commerce membership on our community website. However, the stir of caca is still there so I think it might be in my best interest to wait. I just don't need the drama at this time, as I'm not up to fighting it. The most horrible part of the existence of a couple of troublemakers, is that it affects some of the most talented artisans I've had the priviledge to know. I am truly disappointed by it. I continue to be puzzled at why the powers that be haven't stepped in to take any real action against it. I know they are probably hoping it will iron itself out, but in the meantime some have been hurt and that hurts me.

I continue to post on Etsy. I haven't had any sales yet and I'm not sure how to generate interest in my product but I'll figure it out as I go. I love my crafts and know there is a niche for the things I make. I've been busily creating more of the coordinated desk sets, as I feel it is a unique product.

This year will be a crafty Christmas for the Riley family. I'm already thinking of things and planning those gifts. I'm also gonna finally use up all the gourds I grew a couple of years ago and make gifts out of those as well. Yay! I am totally excited about that!!!

Well, I'm up too late and need to head to bed now...6:00AM comes early!

Love to my peeps and toodles!!!
