So what does that mean - cold summers are good for knitwear vendors. The jewelry guys were doing $200 each week. It would definitely be nice to do $200 a day more often.
Have started selling patterns of the weasley sweaters. They sell steadily. Now have large 1 size R, lg 1 size H and child's W. Am building up a bit of a stockpile of ready to ship sweaters. There's always someone who wants one somewhat suddenly.
The pattern experiment has been good - i do have other text products i could concentrate on.
One customer had the nerve to open a case against me on Etsy. So irritating. To open a case, the item has to be undelivered or be not what was expected. Customer opened case after 2 weeks on a custom item that wasn't even going to be finished for 3, and would take 2 wk to ship. Clearly there were no ground to open it at all. Appealed to Etsy. Sent a screen cap of Can Post graph showing item was received 3 days ago. Hang on - this just in - Etsy sends email that case has been resolved and closed. What a relief. I hated seeing that little red warning bar. And receiving the warning email. Wondering if the cust was not very bright or trying to get something out of it - faster more expensive shipping at my expense, perhaps. Friends, govern yourselves accordingly.
We've listed the house. Looking to downsize, fewer steps, lower mortgage. Living out of boxes is a bit hard. I've got my essential kn supplies sort of isolated. Went looking for guitar pieces to work up some christmas stuff. Well, I've got it moved up from boxes in the basement. Maybe tomoro.
So we beat on. Tiny house is so appealing. Along with my teardrop trailer.
