I haven't posted in awhile so I thought I'd give an update. It looks as though I'm going to have to purchase another computer for home shortly, because I think my Mac has just about had it. I have done clean up after scan after disk repair, even replacing the Ethernet cord and I simply cannot figure out why my internet connection is not working. Well, it works ... I suppose, but it takes a few minutes just to load google, which we all know is a really difficult website to load, with all of it's extensive and large graphics, embedded flash, music playing shenanigans.
Perhaps it's my Ethernet port going bad, but I'm not sure about that either, because I did the speed test via my modem and my computer is *supposed* to be downloading at 215k. At any rate, I haven't really used the internet at home for quite some time now because the only way I can do that is by using John's computer, which he is typically using when we get home from work, plus after sitting at work all day on the computer, my enthusiasm for going home and sitting at the computer further is not exactly appealing. So, while I am frustrated with my Mac's performance, there isn't a huge rush to replace it quite yet.
Other than that, it looks like I may have some new horizons for my business opening up very very soon, which I am thrilled about because it may give me some consistent work week after week, though just like anything, nothing is guaranteed. At any rate, a repeat customer is definitely a sight for sore eyes so I am looking forward to it. Though we are having a world of difficulty with John's document imaging project... which is much more drama than I care to share, but if you are of the praying sort, I'd appreciate your prayers on the resolution of this matter, especially because it concerns getting paid, which we desperately need.
I've also had the chance to make my first round of successful lip colors and I must say they really turned out fantastic! I need to get some better product photos as that the ones I have more or less SUCK, but the product is really top notch. I have impressed and superseded my own expectations! Check it out here, ladies! And if that one is sold and I haven't relisted a new one in my shop, send me a message if you want one!
Ok, for those of you who aren't familiar with Etsy, treasury is a feature where you can make your own "featured" list. Lately the Etsy admins have been choosing lists from the treasury for display on the front page. The catch? There can only be 101 lists at any given time, and lists expire after 2 days. It has been really difficult for me to get a list, but tonight when I hopped on there were 3 ready to be done with, so I snatched one up. Of course, I'm pretty biased, but I think it looks really sharp -- the colors, products, etc. To keep this featured list alive long after the list expires, below are some links to the items you see in the photo above!
