I'm annoyed.
My one year anniversary selling stuff through my etsy shop just passed. I had grand plans including rolling out a new logo, taking new pictures of my yarns in a similar setting to help unify the look of the shop, and renaming some of the yarns.
The new logo turned into a bust--I'm fully aware of where my artistic talents excel, and it's not in cartoons and logo making (should you need a charcoal drawing of a nude figure though, please call me). My efforts to get someone else to do the work kinda sucked, so it's back to square one.
I spent last week taking pictures in my free time and with the cooperation of the clouds and sun. After much fiddling with my point and shoot camera (have I mention how much I want a new camera? No? Then considered it mentioned), I got to the point where I thought I was taking some seriously good pictures. These pictures looked great in the camera, but once I downloaded them...disaster. All the pictures look like I took them with a black film on the camera lens, which sucks big time. Now I need to retake the pictures and find time to edit them.
The renaming plans is working out a bit better. But I suck at titles and naming yarns is a lot like giving stuff titles. Please refer to past blog post titles if you where in any doubt of my naming skills or check out my attention grabbing title for my MA thesis, which I totally would post except I don't want to.
I guess I can push thing back a bit to time it with the one year anniversary of my first sale in August. If I remember correctly, I registered for etsy and it took me some time to get the product/prices/images in order. I can totally make August. You know barring any major disasters.
