And that works...IF you have the people to follow your shop and favorite your items and add stuff to collections. So far on Etsy that's just you and me (on my alt account that I use for buying) though. Because my shop isn't big enough to show up unless you know exactly what to search for to find it.

You gotta either have a lot of friends on Etsy willing to help you out or be really good at social media to get the following.
Don't have either of those? You're basically screwed.

That's why I used to have so many sellers favouriting me so I'd look at their stuff back when I was more active. But a lady I used to talk to would sit there and make collections herself, to try and up her exposure.

so...the housing offer fell through. because of the bad roommate screwing up their finances, my friends don't have the financial wiggle room to be able to wait for me to get there. They were able to find someone who can move in much sooner.

Oh man. I'm sorry, Den.

I'm sorry to hear that, Den! Let's hope another opportunity will come up for you in the near future. Keep pushing forward! In the meantime, how is everything else with you?

And great to see you as well, Tam! Your giant giraffe plush is adorable

I'm doing alright, disappointments aside. I have a couple of crochet projects I need to block, plus one I'm working on in fits and spurts.

Sorry for vanishing. Cramps have me sleeping. Energy is being rationed for packing.

finished my filet crochet project, can't block or set it yet, because no room to do so. Trying to find the tablecloth that will go underneath it, no luck so far, but I have a few ideas of where to look.

need to get back into coding, can't sew into this jacket to make it a battle jacket bc it's fucking POLYESTER. leather jackets are friggin' expensive!

I'm thinking of making a hobby of looking at apartments this year, to try and make the whole process less scary when I have to move again.

That's a great idea. The times I've experienced apartment tours have been enjoyable. What are some amenities you'll want to have?

Quiet neighbours, no smoking, and no bedbugs.

Don't forget good air conditioning for the summer and when hot flashes happen!
