Tag: weekend recap

While this weekend was certainly more productive than the last, I still finished fewer projects than I had hoped.  Isn’t that always the case?  I worked up two flower shaped pendants made of Swarovski crystal hearts and bicones on Sunday morning, but I didn’t have quite enough time to photograph them or add them to my Etsy shop.  Looks like I will be in the photography studio at least one night this week.  I also spent considerable time promoting my latest listings on Pinterest and in the Etsy teams, but other errands and household duties needed attention as well.  So several craft projects sit half finished, but at least there are fewer dust bunnies hopping around the house!

I would like to say that I accomplished all sorts of great things this weekend – finished some jewelry projects, worked on my online marketing, added items to my Etsy shop – but no.  Instead, I spent many hours editing this blog to make it ready for prime time.  Importing my existing posts from Tumblr was easy enough, but the subsequent clean up has not been fun.  The media gallery was a mess, posts looked ugly, pages had weird names, ugh.  So I started with the oldest post and began working forward.  I’m about halfway done at this point, and I just have to keep chipping away at it, tedious and boring as it may be.  It always amazes me how much time must be spent on the non creative side of a creative business.
