It seems I haven't posted in this blog for a couple of weeks. That's to be expected--I was dealing with the end of the school year at my day job. It takes a lot of time and energy to finish up a year and prepare for summer. I have spent days handling books, dusting shelves, and cleaning my office. And now I have to do the same at home!Today I devoted the afternoon to listing 10 new items in preparation for the Etsy Showcase I am scheduled in tomorrow. Actually, it should be happening in a few more minutes, since it starts at midnight EDT. I had created all these new items in between filling last-minute orders for jewelry for people at work during the last 2 weeks. I am so glad I thought about getting them ready to highlight in the Showcase.
After the two previously mentioned sales, nothing much has happened. No new hearts, no new sales. I've been spending too much time in the Forums and not enough time on other matters. I vow to spend time in the next week or so getting my linking up this blog with other Etsy bloggers and promoting by networking.
It's really hard to continue to believe in my jewelry without the sales to back it up, but I do know how much I've sold in the past and I just need to be as patient as I can. My oldest listings expired today and that was a shock--that so much time has gone by.
Just to cheer myself up and show how great my designs are, I'll post a photo here of my newest necklace "Touch of Gold." Lovely goldstone stripes brighten each of the furnace glass chubs in this necklace and add a touch of sparkle. Matching earrings are also available.
