Making Lemonade

I have  "piddled" with making jewelry and bags for many years and I kept dreaming of doing it more often. I especially dreamed of selling my "stuff", mostly so I could clear out some inventory and then shop for more!

Other than selling at the occasional craft fair/flea market, I never got around to getting serious about it. There were a number of reasons including the fact that I worked over 40 hrs a week for over a year, but the biggest one is probably my lack of organization.

Enter the lemon: I got laid off and it's seems that the job market isn't getting any friendlier despite what the politicians say. Time and more time to craft.  And incentive to conquer hurdle #2... organization and time management. When those 40+hr checks stop coming in, it's hard to justify a little thrift store trip to buy more vintage fabrics and broken jewelry. Not when I have more than I have room for already.

But... If I make some stuff, I clear room for more "supplies". And if I sell some of the "stuff" I made... then I can buy more!    LEMONADE!!

So I finally opened an Etsy store and got a Facebook page. I "officially" have a business.

 The inspiration behind the name and behind all the crafting I do : My grandma Alice.

Now I just have to figure out how to get them seen and to stock it up.

There's that pesky time management thing again.

Wish me luck!
