Happy Thursday!
Yesterday, we ended up going to the Springvale Rec to meet my sister who had Nora and Jesse. Skylar had fun swimming with her cousins then they enjoyed a picnic then it was playground time. I recorded some of that for Skylar’s channel but I have not uploaded it yet. Hope to do that today.
Last night, I put a t-shirt dress on eBay and as I expected, no bids. It’s hard with clothing due to sizing and I also left the dress long and I know many won’t want to cut it for fear that they’ll do it wrong. I have zero interest in altering and will even have the dress packaged before the auction ends. So I don’t think clothing will work for me on eBay. Not unless I make something very free fitting that will fit many sizes and that it’s not long so no one has to cut. But when I used to make custom clothing, so many of my ladies said they needed long and could not get long enough anywhere, so I like to have a long option out there. I may keep playing with it.
And just to explain, I’m really only doing eBay as a way to bring new viewers to my youtube channel. I get so many emails asking if you can just buy something off me directly, and that’s really not a line of work that I want to get in to. If I make something, I want it to use that item or garment as a way to help me out… by putting it on eBay for others out there to see. When they read the description, they see a link to my channel and that might get me a new subbie. So that’s why I do it the way I do it.
Today I need to decide what I want to do for Fabric Friday. I have the fabric here but I have not decided on a cut. I also have tons of laundry to do and I want to start cleaning up before Derrick gets here. We were good at picking up as we go but I’ve been slacking with that the past two days and our desks are quite cluttered. The craft table is too. I don’t do well with clutter.
I’m also feeling horribly down in the dumps because Skylar’s trip is coming to an end. Very sad. I have such a hard time to enjoy anything because I’m always dwelling on final outcomes. I know everyone says we are creating memories and I totally get that for most people creating memories are a good thing. I don’t like memories, not even good ones. I just don’t. I’m too realistic for that. In the end, we all die. Plain and simple. I don’t enjoy the death journey. I just don’t. Not looking for support on this. I’m just stating my feelings. I’m using my blog as my diary. You are invited to read it all you want. But I’m not willing to discuss. Like I said, totally down and out right now. I’m not even putting this post on social media. If you happen to come across it, cool beans.
