You know when you start running a business that there will be things that you have to do that are mind numbingly boring, but necessary. Well, I seem to have had a weekend of those. Ordering business cards (can't believe how hard it is to choose a design), working out an exact cost for the kits (making sure to include all the latest prices), trying to change the banner for my shop (that was the worst of all: started with GIMP, ended up with Paint because I could not get GIMP to work). I've been through about five attempts today, still not entirely happy, but at least it doesn't have part of the name missing and it's not too pixellated!
On a positive note: I had my first international sale (woo-hoo). And I finally found out why my new phone makes weird noises - apparently the Etsy sales app is trying to let me know that someone has favourited an item. If only it hadn't been at 4 am that I discovered this!
The wire wrapping is coming along nicely - I listed my first pair of wire wrapped earrings today:
More designs coming this week, plus the kits will be online by Friday. Everything is ready, apart from the packaging, which is due tomorrow. It looks like being another busy week.
I know what you mean. All these things that take away from the fun stuff!!!! Congrats on the sale!!!! Beautiful earrings too. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. Every now and then I make something that comes out just how I wanted it to!
