when my desk looks like this:

Sadly, this is the routine. Clean it off, mess it up, repeat. I’ve tried everything possible (kind of) to help stay organised but I don’t think anything is going to help. It’s kind of addictive clearing it off anyways, so maybe I subconsciously like it this way. I’m trying to build up a small stock of jewellery that’s ready to ship, which will help a little when I return from my trip… hope Friday comes quickly for everyone!

A while ago I was contacted by Etsy admin to answer a little questionaire about myself and my shop…. because I was one of the top 20 ‘most hearted’!!! How insane is that? So, I answered the questions and submitted a pic, and lo and behold……

Included is my first and probably the only Treasury list I’ll make this year, as I’ve never managed to snag one.

I published a Storque article last year about how I run my business, and I was hoping to use this blog to post some useful information with tips, budgeting, planning info, etc so if anyone has any ideas about things they’d like to hear about or see in action feel free to post ideas! I’m on holiday in February but when I return I’ll be dedicating more time to this. Happy Tuesday!

Okay, so this is a really late new year’s post. I totally underestimated how busy December would be sales wise, and things have pretty much been insane until a few weeks ago. I’m really grateful and a bit overwhelmed by the traffic to my store, but I am also slightly glad that things have slowed down. I thought I’d been really smart estimating how things would pan out over the year, I looked over 2007 figures, sales etc, and was positive that November would be the busiest month, but December was indeed busier than November. So, the good news is that I don’t have to worry quite as much about the three week HOLIDAY I’ll be on in February!  So, I’ve not taken many new pics, which is regrettable as it snowed last week and was so beautiful, but I’ve posted a photo of a necklace I actually made for myself and have been wearing constantly…. hope everyone had a fabulous holiday season and a great start to the new year!

ps. don’t be jealous… I snagged a mustard yellow gnome home from http://petitehouse.etsy.com.  i sat like a saddo with the store front open until 11pm.. but it was well worth it.
