Sales :)

Actually making some progress with the store. Made two sales in the same week, already got my feedback for one and I'm still waiting on the other as it went on a much longer journey to America! Fingers crossed the pony pair featured in my last post have made it there safely, although I do have a feeling customs will slow things down considerably. Atleast now I have the experience of filling in the customs stickers, as I've never posted that far before.

Since then I've been suffering from a few down days, as I'm unemployed and the job market is very hard and competitive either for low end work. But my creativity is bumbling along in the form of miniature bracelets for dollfie/Ball Jointed Dolls (BJD). I've secretly wanted one since I came across them when I was 17... so that's nearly 10 years of 'I just can't justify it!' that's why I have decided that the proceeds from my store are going to go towards my dream of owning a BJD. Unfortunately you do need a minimum of £700 to get started.... so I have quite a ways to go. And doubly more daunting is that the doll I planned for doesn't seem to be available in my country anymore as the english website has been down for a while... still I may eventually find one second hand. It's a Dolkot Kiss Boy in white skin. Sad face!

Keeping the crafting dream alive is helping with the stress of looking for work. I think if I didn't have so many interests I would be in a bad way right now. But I do have alot to be grateful for so I should really not complain ever! Anyway my plan for toay is to get my photos and products uploaded and to rejoin Den of Angels (the most definitive BJD community) so that I can eventually advertise there too. Keeping my fingers crossed for my page views for my store! :)
