Having Designer's Block Help!


http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9222992


I think it's time for some new beads. I have a pretty good stash of beads, but I am getting tired of looking at the same ones. It giving me somewhat of a block. I am still coming out with ideas, just not as many as normal. Any ideas on how to get past this. I think I am going to purchase the items I have in my cart on Etsy. This is the best place to buy jewelry supplies. Plus, I love to support my fellow Etsians in any way possible. Some of my favorite Etsy suppliers are Sunyno (Sunyno.etsy.com), yadanabeads (yadanabeads.etsy.com), and ArtfulMarket (ArtfulMarket.etsy.com). I would recommend anyone shopping for jewelry supplies check these sellers out first. They all have awesome customer service and are very friendly.

My Website

OMG! I can't believe I haven't discussed my website that I've been working on. I purchased a domain name. Yeah! I found a place where I can make a website for free. It's called Weebly. It is so easy to use and has a lot of features. I have been working on it for about a week and half now. I am stumped on what I should do with the front page. I want to make the front page inviting. I want it to show what the site is about in a nutshell. I would welcome any help, feedback or comments. Anyway, I will post link when website is published. Thanks!

Geometry Gotta Love It!


I was never very fond of geometry. You don't have to be fond of geometry to love the geometric shapes in this necklace. This one was listed on Etsy today. So far it's only got 10 views and no hearts :( I love this one!
For this necklace I used silver colored resin beads, freshwater pearls, and these large geometric shaped red acrylic beads. At the neckline I added a chain for size adjustment. At end of the chain is a Swarovski crystal. Necklace measures 16 inches at its smallest length and can be extended 4 inches with chain.
What a fun necklace!

Loving It!



Yeah! I sold two pairs of earrings today. I was getting a little worried because I haven't sold anything in about 5 or 6 days. I am waiting for a few more sales so I can buy some cupcakes from Etsy shop FatDaddy. The cupcakes in a jar look soooo delicious. I am dying to try them. I also want to purchase some Moo Cards. Check out my latest renewed listing. If you love red you'll love these earrings. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=7669250
I also want to show you this necklace that I have had listed on Etsy for a while. I took a new picture. I want to show it off. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=7421632

Computer Crash



My laptop has crashed! Okay, it didn't crash. The power jack is bad and will cost at least $200 to fix. So, it might as well be crashed. I've been borrowing my daughter's computer. I'm debating, should I get the piece of crap fixed or spend $500 on this Dell I seen at WalMart. Dude, I'm getting a Dell!

Here some newly listed. I love the red clip ons. I recently had a request for a pair of clip ons. That got me thinking. So here is a pair of lovely clip ons with red glass teardrops. Teardrops are wrapped in sterling silver wire. Ear clips are silver plated. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=8801556

The other earrings were made with copper findings and acrylic melon shaped beads. So cute!

Pricing your etsy Goods

I found this great article on how to price your etsy goods. I found it very useful and want to share with other Etsians.

It's worth checking out.

Forums


So I'm in the forums today and for no reason I am completely kicked off of etsy. I get a message saying that Etsy may be temporarily unavailable. Weird. So here I am lost without my Etsy. Here is a new necklace I just posted. Wondering what you all think of it. I put colors together I normally wouldn't do. I think it works. Okay, Etsy is back on. Here is the link for the necklace.
