Golf & Etsy...Bah!

It's Monday, which according to my new schedule means it's blog day. Yay! What to write about today. Well, what has happened during the last week? No sales, but I've been lazy and only renewed items, didn't list new ones. I booked two main showcase spots for Friday AND Saturday with no results other than a few more views and a few more hearts. It's funny, I really thought my mermaid earrings would have sold, I like them that much :)

In non-etsy related life, we went to a friends house a couple of hours north of hear for the weekend. He lives in a fairly secluded area, no traffic, just the occasional neighbor coming home. It's so incredibly peaceful we slept in until 10am on Sunday - which is unheard of for me. Then we went and played 9 holes of golf - and that didn't go well for this novice. My first drive was great. I hit the ball long and straight and the three men I was with said 'brava, good hit, nice drive', etc. It was pretty much downhill from there. It was bad, but not bad enough to make me quit. I bought my pretty purple clubs for a reason and I will conquer the game (picture me shaking my fist in the air here).

Today I realized that Etsy is very much like golf, in the whole 'self-doubt' area. I haven't had a sale in a week so I'm starting to get that discouraged feeling, where nothing is good enough. Yesterday I couldn't hit the ball to save my life, today I can't make a sale to save my life (well, I probably could if I wanted to sell my pieces for a buck, but let's be real). So I have decided that from here out I will be positive about both. I will get my clubs to connect with my damn ball. I will get my Etsy mojo working again. I will succeed in every way!!!

Soooo....I guess I'd better get off my butt and make the bracelet for my friend who's getting married in two weeks. I've only had the supplies for a month. And I'd better write down the schedule in my head so that I stick to it. Tomorrow is Flickr day and I am going to get mine looking respectable :)

Ok, so busy week ahead. Lets hope my golf game improves as does my shop! First gotta move my critter Ziggy from the workbench. As much as he'd like to help, his claws get in the way :)
