Crafts Fair 24/7 - 365

Sell Crafts Online has been a valuable resource for me, It was the first Ebook I ever purchased. One thing I did realize after I started going through it is; Old habits die hard. Reading it on the monitor was a little challenging for me, maybe I was out of my comfort zone as I have always read from a physical book  or sheets of paper in my hand. In order to grasp the information more precisely and be able to highlight and scribble notes, I ended up printing it.

The book pointed at a number of different venues where one could sell there work, but after some research and visiting the different sites I zeroed down to three of them, and the three that made the cut were Etsy, Artfire and Dawanda. All there seem pretty organised and well laid out and have there pros and cons (I do not use any so that is not from my experience, but when you google Artfire v/s Etsy or Artfire v/s Dawanda or Etsy v/s Dawanda) you can get a pretty detailed inside look at each from users who have been using them for years.

I had a fairly decent idea after reading everything but in order to pick one up I posted a question Which is a better venue to sell my creations, ETSY, ARTFIRE or DAWANDA? on Fluther and Etsy was what folks recommended the most.

Twisted and sick of it

It's been almost a month and a half since I've blogged - I think that's the longest since I started this thing...

I had not been doing great for the last about four weeks. Last month I sprained my wrist and it was diagnosed as a stress fracture. It is the very first time I had to undergo something like this; where you have so much time that you can actually even listen to the few birds that are left in this metropolis.

My wrist had been all wrapped up in a cast and the doctor advised me to keep it like that for two weeks, the two weeks went by quietly and I had the cast removed and an x-ray done and when everything was looking better I had to re-do the cast again as my wrist had not properly healed and was hurting bad.

Healing has been a long and slow road. As of May 24, the joint has fused sufficiently to allow for weight bearing/low to medium impact activity, and I have been cleared to start working a few hours at a time.

Being temporarily disabled has given me plenty of time to reflect on my life and everything I want to do—and how much time I have wasted NOT doing what I should be doing.
