Time to get this Friday started! I have a lot I want to accomplish at my day job at SCM. Then I need to get home and prepare to take my Polish All the Things jewelry to the Farmer's Market in Anniston on Saturday. I'm hoping to have a few new things to take, but we'll see. I've been working on new stuff all week, but I am not sure it will be done in time to go. 😕
At the very least I am going to sleep tonight. LOL
I am guessing that most of you didn't know this, but it takes several days to a week to complete one item. 😳 I know that sounds crazy, but there are usually 5 - 6 layers of polish on each piece and they all need to dry THOROUGHLY before I add the next layer of polish and especially before the glue comes into play. Then the glue needs another 24 hours to cure. So yeah. LOL
Due to that I usually make things in batches. My batches start out at like 20 pieces, but by the end it's usually down to 10 that come out how I want them to. I'm a perfectionist, so sometimes I probably scrap things that are ok, but if people are paying money for this stuff then I'm gonna make sure it's worth paying for to the best of my ability.
Anyway, if you like anything on my Etsy / Polish page, get it now because I'm probably going to close my Etsy temporarily while I'm at the Farmer's Market until I get my inventory updated. I guess that's the down-side to selling both places, but I need to make some money. The Farmer's Market was actually pretty cool, too, so as long as I can keep from getting sick it's a go. 😃
Later, friends! 🙂 HAPPY WEEKEND!
