I must admit, November just plain sucked. It started off great; I was tremendously excited at the outcome of the presidential election...But that same week, my uncle died, and I went to Canada for the funeral, which entailed some pretty nasty Family Drama...When I got back, everything was just...depressing...Work crap, and general life stuff, yuk!
I had had a nice, steady rhythm going in my Etsy shop, a few sales a month, gradually increasing, and I had my first sale on Yarny Goodness as well...Things seemed to be going well...Then, I didn't have one single sale for the entire month of November, even though I was still doing the same promo stuff, and had taken out a Ravelry ad as well...Since self-confidence is not my strong suit, I started wondering if maybe I should be concentrating on something else, instead of 'fooling myself' with the art thing...:(
Seems like I have broken my losing streak, finally, with a couple of new sales, and a commission request! And I've started a new shop for my stitchmarkers and row counters and all that good stuff here on Art Fire! I've already had one sale--OK, it was one of the Rubbernecker gals, but it still counts! *grin* I am still working on the new shop at the moment, but I'm hoping to get some of my orifice hooks and gift tags up this weekend as well...
Stay tuned, it's starting to get exciting over here!
