So, as I reported yesterday, I’m taking much of my salvage and vintage flea crap and upcycling it for the winter season. I’m doing this partially because I only have one more outdoor day at the Brooklyn Flea and partially because, well, it’s the holidays and nobody is buying furniture as gifts.
Ok, so I woke up at 5am and got right to work. A few distractions here and there, some breaks, but by quittin’ time, I had only finished five pieces. WTF? Am I a dimwit or something?
What I want to know is this: How do people find enough hours in the day to produce several pieces, photograph them, measure and write text, then upload them to Flickr, Etsy and other stores? And I think some of these people have full time jobs!
And don’t get me started on the days I have to cook get take out, clean, do laundry and pay bills! Who are these superpeople and how can I become one of them?
So, hey, come bring me hot chocolate at the Brooklyn Flea this Sunday where I’ll be freezing my ass off. The following 2 weeks I get to do the Gifted show because I bitched and moaned and he just wanted to shut me up. Squeaky wheel gets the oil!

Well, I wonder myself! I try to work as hard on my little yarn shop as possible, but I am also one of those with a full-time job… secretly I am always plotting how I could get a little helper and still be profitable, hehe.
Btw, love the ski on the last pic, I know loads of people who would have a home to fit it. 😀
L.O.L. just to much
I don’t know how they do it either! If my house is clean (I use that term loosly!) I have nothing created to list. If I am creating, photographing, etc. then my house is a mess and the bills are piled up. I have found that Etsy is a great excuse for a dirty house!
I’m gonna have to show your comments to my husband….”See honey, that’s why I can’t have a clean house and dinner for you even though I’m home all day!”
Notice I only got so far as to post photos on my blog and not upload it to stores.
