Right now I only took two shelves to start with. If things go well (hope hope hope!), I'll of course add more space and inventory. :)
In the meantime, I'm working hard on the business side of things. My new website is up and running, and I might add, very proudly totally updated!
I'm working everyday on the Etsy store and have been devouring many tutorials on how to make your shop more noticeable etc. It's a slow process I think, and definitely a huge learning curve, but I won't give up. There are times though, when I really think what is the use? But I'm guessing everyone has low moments like that when they are trying to start a new business. Please tell me I'm right!
Not much art is actually happening this week, simply because I've been so busy. I haven't been home much either, so that doesn't help. But I am working on new stuff, mainly a giraffe, a whale (still!), a hippo and a snail. I suspect the snail will be done first, probably because he's smallest. :)
That's all for now! Hope everyone is doing well, and has a great weekend!!
Dearest Michele, such wonderful news!! Congratz on all that you have accomplished!! I am so happy for your and your items look sooo yummie at that shop! Oh and loving your website too lots! Have a lovely merry happy weekend and love to you!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Michelle! You are on a mission and I get the feeling of success here!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your latest venture. Your items look fantastic on those shelves! Those colors really pop. Just gorgeous. Michele, you are really taking off...Such an inspiration. Stay with it! Best of luck to you!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Michelle, on all your new ventures!! I know what you mean when you say 'What's the use'; I have regular bouts of this too!! I have to say, though, I have had a breakthrough of sorts this summer. Commercial success and personal success are 2 different things, and I've decided personal success feels better to me. So let the chips fall where they may ;)
ReplyDeleteHave an awesome Sunday dear one!

ReplyDeleteOh yes, I have big bouts of 'what's the use' and 'which way should i turn' and 'how do i make it all happen, and faster'. It's a constant process of letting go for me and trusting that things are unfolding as they should be.
