Its been a while...

Follow my blog with bloglovin

So it has definantly been a while since I've updated.  I've sold a couple of items, which is always good.

And...

I have reached 50 followers!  So I will be hosting a give away!!  I don't have details yet, I will be working on that this week.  But it makes me happy that I have 50 followers.

I made a new necklace, it is pretty.  Heres a picture of it:

And a cat collar, which I would be happy to turn into a necklace if someone wanted it:

Other than that, I have been busy working with Blake.  I took him to a neurologist today.  The Neurologist took blood test 6 monthes ago and they came back normal, so he said the next step would be a brain scan.  So that will be comming up in a month or 2.  He said there is a good chance he may be slightly autistic, but isnt saying yet.  I just wish I knew why my child will not talk.  Or pay attention to people.  Although, he is VERY VERY smart.

Now, off to catch up on reading blogs.

New items

First of all, I would like to thank Jessah from Bright Circle for helping me and giving me tips on how to get more sales.  Becasue of her, I joined DeviantArt.com!  So hopefully that will help my sales.

And while I'm at it, I dont think I ever really Thanked Cheryl from Oh To Me A Muse for giving me tips on how to improve my blog and mentioning me in her blog. 

So thank you both!

Now, I have been working on new items.  I've been changing my style a lot, in a way.  I'm hoping to find something that will sell.  I'm not going to wonder off too far from what I do yet, but I have been trying new things.

Heres is a new spiral rainbow hemp bracelet.  This one is really toned down though, with a lot of natural hemp but still a slight hint of color, for the people who like rainbows but don't want the "bam in your face" color effect.

And I made a bohemian necklace.  I dont have it modeled yet, but it is up for sale on my site already.

This measures about 35 inches long!

Things are looking up.

Today was a good day in my sales world.  I sold one bracelet, sold some beads on ebay, am doing 2 trades  and have a custom order for 2 anklets!  This makes me feel a little better becasue I havent been getting much.

I bought 2 month advertisement for $40...I'm getting nothing from it.  That brought me down.  And I readded up my debts, yeah over $400 down.  I'm so depressed about that.  I'm still hoping to make up atleast $150 of that this month.  In which I have about $12/$150 of that.  Hopefully I can reach $100.

I hope everyone else is doing better.  I do read blogs, and my computers slow so sometimes I can't comment.  Sorry guys.  I try to comment on your blogs though, when my computer allows.

Ahhh Scared/Excited.

So, I don't have my drivers liscense.  I'm 22 years old, and have a child, but don't have my liscense.  I've always been scared of drving around other cars.  Well, I did it.  I drove to a Quick Trip that wasnt right next to my house to get milk.  I drove, and there were other moving vehicals around me.  But I drove.  I had some rocky moments.  But no accidents.  And I made it home alive.  And my fear isnt completly marked off, but...I did it.  I overcame my fear.  Not extremly comfortable yet, but i'm working on it.

Go me?

Just thought I would rave about the scariest expericance I had.  Seriously, driving 40 mph was scarier than a ride I went on where I was flung up into the air and spinning halfway upside down.  That was a scary ride, and yet, controlling a vehical was scarier.

I know, I'm a big baby.

Anyone Have kids?

I'm cleaning out my room and trying to get rid of my sons old clothes.  Im trying ebay before going to Once Upon a Child.  I know, its a lot more work but its whatever.  Mostly I have baby stuff listed, but if anyone has any kids up to 24 monthes let me know, I can post that stuff sooner.

I'll be adding a whole bunch of new stuff up until Sept 7th whenever the listings arent free anymore.

Happy September guys!

I cant believe its already September.  Where did the summer go?  Where did the YEAR go?

My goal is to make $5 a day to get to 160 by the end of September.  That would make up HALF my debt.  And I've been doing good with that.  Nothing sold on ETSy, but my Highschool friend sold 4 bracelets today, making me $8!!  And I had to make a custom bracelet for a friend of hers, so atleast $1 made tomorrow.  And since its only a half day tomorrow, shes not bringing my stuff to school, which is okay.  I cant make her sell it all the time.

I am working on Halloween things.  I've actually added quite a few new things in my shop.  Here are some pictures:

On other note, today has been a busy day.  Blake has ketchup for the first time today.  He's still iffy on it.  I'm not a big ketchup fan myself, but if he wants it then he can have it.

I took down the baby crib, it was taking up a lot of space in the living room.  I'm going to have to find a place to put all the peices now.

The cats have now discovered the mice.  I had the door to my room open, not a good idea.  Yeah, Buddy and Bongo just sit at the cage and look confused.  Marbles ignores them.  And Frankie tried to attack them through the cage.

And I have been listing things on ebay like crazy.  I still plan on moving soon, and yeah.  I'm trying to get rid of as much as possible.  And all my stuff is cheap too.  And I'm throwing in some of my bracelets on ebay, I already sold one!  But I figure its advertisement, so why not take it?
