Ended Official BYC Mini Contest - "WHAT IS YOUR HOBBY?"

[perchie.girl]

When I was in Radiation Treatment after Cancer surgery I brought my wire work with me... Wire wrapping hearts. One gal I sat with was a nurse I found out she was there supporting her husband... I gave her my heart. She was stunned. and asked me how many I could make.

I ran out of energy after I made her a second one. My intention was to give them away to people I talked to.

About the size of a fifty cent piec... No I have no pictures but made of Rose gold which is pink.

Thank you Sally Its been a year now... still seeing the oncologists on a three month schedual... All Good They got it all. Radiation was a precaution... Apparently I may have repercussions from that for as long as twenty years after... "digestive issues" I can deal.

awesome! Thank you! I will take time this weekend to figure it out. today I need to pack up a lot of soaps for my sister she is wholesaling them at a local craft show with her painted projects. I figure its good to get them out there more since I dont do shows.... they dont fit in with my hermitism ya know? lol Plus she gets to make cash off them too and helps fill up her stand. is there a way to save your post? so I can bookmark to come back on this new site or not?

Did you ever get instagram figured out? Your soaps are so beautiful they really deserve to be "showed off" as many places as possible!

Omg! You are so talented! Now that your daughter is in school, you should do more, to sell. You'd make a fortune with that talent! My favourite is the boots. Absolutely incredible!

Thanks! This was supposed to be a self-portait that could NOT include people, only representational objects. So objects representing my life at the time... my riding boots, my husband's army boots and some little booties for our future baby. I had just found out I was pregnant after 3 years of trying.

That book is a fantastic and practical creation! You should sell those!

Did you read the part that it took me a year to make that ONE felt book?!!
I would love to be able to sell stuff... but finding the time to make extra is the problem! I've thought about opening my own etsy store too, but I'm not not sure I could make enough of anything to be profitable. Thank you for liking my stuff though!

Oh @Sally Sunshine have you tried looking into opening an Etsy shop? People go nuts for handmade items and I buy stuff from etsy all the time (not quite as much as Amazon though) but you should look into it. Instead of packing up and going to local shows, you could just sell online and ship boxes directly to people's homes. My dad started out selling crystals online and it's now expanded to a successful independent website and a full-fledged business with actual employees to manage the volume! It's been nearly 20 years and he's almost ready to retire.

WOW I love the Pumpkin PATCH!!! beautiful and so sweet!! No instagram, I havent had time, I have been learning to shrink wrap soaps now and trying to update and add all the new soaps that have been wrapped on the website. As far as etsy, not yet, I would sooner do amazon than etsy for the prices I think. I am swamped right now as it is so I am not even heading there yet, I dont want to hire help although I could use help, thank GOD for mother, (she works for soap hahaha)
