Funny
I make jewelry. It's funny. I make jewelry to sell. Even funnier. I love it. At first I told my family "It is a hobby" or "just for fun". It is fun. Comprehensive. Encompassing. Get up early without feeling tired and excited about my shop fun. When I posted my first pieces-I cried. I loved it that much. Collecting materials I find beautiful, weird, unique. Making pieces. I don't want to be a cookie cutter jewelry maker. Taking the pictures. Angles, props, what will catch the buyer's attention? Writing the descriptors-how personal, how funny, how weird and still describe the piece accurately? Using my husband as my spellcheck. He is always right btw. Pricing. Accounting. Profiling. Etsy community and resources. Starting a blog. Budgeting-learning the value of real earned money. It is alot harder to make $100 this way. Putting myself on the line. Packaging and mailing. Sticking with my promise to mail within 48 hours. Hoping. Thanking the divine I am in a position where I can do this.
