Out of the Blū

I have so far spent most of my day...

I have so far spent most of my day working on Polish All the Things stuff. I keep track of everything in a spreadsheet, so I updated that after I got all of my photo posting done on here. I know I'm a big nerd, but Excel is my favorite program ever and it helps me see what's selling and where it's selling. Looks like local markets and Facebook are working for me. Etsy seems to be a bust so far. 😕

I have been updating Etsy for the past few hours. OH SO TEDIOUS. And I'm not even done! For the pieces that I can remember I've added the polish names in the titles and descriptions. When I was looking for a hard to find polish on Google the other day an Etsy listing with that polish used in an earring came up, so I thought "Duh. I should do that." For some things that is just not going to happen, but as a general rule I'm going to try to be more diligent about it.

So, I have a list of polishes that I know what they are but not the names, so I'll go and look those up in a bit. And I still need to add the new rings with the plain bands. I haven't even gotten there yet!

I am getting antsy from sitting at the computer, which is just as well because I need to cut some grass. Etsy has been a crazy amount of work today, but I'm hoping it'll pay off. Aside from sharing it around on Facebook does anyone have any suggestions on how I can advertise without being spammy? I think I can pay to advertise within Etsy (and I might), but I don't have the money for that right now. I think that after I get it all updated (either later tonight or tomorrow), I'll create a coupon code and see if that gets anyone's attention. We shall see.

Later, peeps. So much to do, so little time!

Last photo of the day...

Last photo of the day, and I saved my coolest new thing for the end. 😃 I love this band because it has two stones. I have them in the brass and silver tone, but this is the only one I've made so far. It's $10 like the 12mm earrings because it takes two stones and the band was a little more expensive. But I think it's super cute!

So I just posted 7 new statuses with jewelry. If you're interested, go and check them out. I think Facebook hides a bunch when you post back to back like that.

Also, please forgive me, but I'm about to post all of these on Polish All the Things, so if you are following that page, you'll probably see them again. I'm sorry. ❤

These are the first stones I ever painted and I finally got them set in a band. 😃 FINALLY. LOL They have a nice, wide band and are adjustable.

Not a new size or style, but here are some 18mm dangles. Most of these were plain this go round, too. Sorry some of them are not super creative, but I got my hands on some new polish recently that I just love. 😃

Also not a new size or style, but here are more of the 12mm buttons. Most of them were plain - these colors are really pretty in the sun, so I didn't want to mess with a good thing.

These are also new.

These are also new. I love the look of the filigree bands, but they are a little harder to get and more expensive, so I decided to also try the 18mm stones in a plain band. I only have these in the silver tone right now, too, but I am definitely planning to get them in brass before October. There are 13 photos here, so make sure to scroll through!
