Dear Bald Guy...

At Costco with the Harley jacket on, I realize you are a hairdresser and you're stuck on people's hair, but really there are more important things in life. Nothing gives you the right to be rude to anyone and if by telling me, my mother, and my hair dresser sister that we all have split ends you were looking to get new clients, that is a really bad sales strategy. No, I haven't had a haircut in about 2 years and yes my hair is probably pretty split up, but that doesn't make it okay to say that to 3 total strangers. And maybe before you open your mouth you should think about the fact that you're a bald hairdresser!

Tear It Apart.

I'm thinking of separating my "shop".  Maybe I will leave Hello Honey Honey for my kids stuff, illustrations, dolls, Etc.  Kid related items.  And then maybe I will make a whole new shop for more adult customers and sell clothing, bags, sewn items, that sort of thing. Maybe some more adult paintings and such as well. I'm not sure.  Maybe the new shop needs to be for the illustrations and the rest can be left at Hello, Honey Honey.  Or maybe it doesn't need to be separate at all.  Or maybe I need to just focus on one thing and stop having ADD/multiple personality disorder!  Any thoughts?

Etsy Frustration

I realize that I haven't been on Etsy very long (okay like a week) and I know it's going to take a while to get my business rolling.  It's just very frustrating learning the ins and outs and trying to figure out how to get my stuff out into the world so people see it.  It seems that people who stumble upon my stuff think its pretty good, but still no one is buying.  I don't think all that many have checked it out yet, either.  I also realize my stuff is pretty specific and will only appeal to certain people, and mainly to children who are not wandering around shopping on Etsy.  I just want to sell SOMETHING.  I just want people to like it enough to buy something.  For my own ego I guess. Haha.  I'm trying real hard to get some more stuff together to put up and maybe some more stuff that will appeal universally.

Anyway, I completed some more Halloween stuff and I'm working on a fall painting that looks really nice so far.  I made my paper dolls more of a playset.  And added a doll and a couple bags.  I thought these things would get more hearts than my illustrations because they are more substantial.  But, nothing so far.  Not even 1 heart. 

I gotta figure out how to get more exposure.  I think that is the key.  Anyway if anyone stumbles upon this site, Check out my etsy shop at www.etsy.com/shop/hellohoneyhoney.

Unproductive...

Yea, I didn't get too much accomplished this week.  It's hard for me to create when I'm upset about something.  Anyway there is a couple things for me (and maybe you too) to be excited about.

1.  I'm going to Philly today to hang out with my best friend, Lara.  I'm super excited as it's been quite a while since I've been in Philly and quite a while since I've hung out with my friend without my child.  An adult day!

2.  MY ETSY SHOP IS OFFICIALLY OPEN!  I don't have a whole lot on there yet, and none of my sewn items or dolls are up yet, but at least I put some of my artwork up.  I accomplised something and I think my shop looks really good, even if I haven't sold anything yet.  I'm looking forward to the day someone buys something.  I think I will just be over the moon about it!

Here's some fun pictures:

This is Izzy after she found a Sharpie marker in my bag on the car ride to my mom's.  She's an artist, what can I say.  Haha.
