Week-end tallies: Nineteenth/Twentieth weeks in review

I've pretty much just gone to bi-weekly updates here, there's simply no time for anything else. Especially as we move into the holiday season. The side project shop has business booming, and it's all I can do to keep up with moving those orders out the door. Things are slower in Moonsea Creations, though. Not a bad thing, since the other stuff has me so busy!
Since we've hit the 3 month mark after reopening, a lot of stuff is up for renewal, so that has operation costs creeping upward again. Here's how week 19 closed:

Total value of items made: $983.00
Total expenses to run business: $68.81
Total income: $144.00

Week 20 saw me busy with jewelry, though, since I had a large custom order to fill. The end result was really pretty!
Custom order from Moonsea Creations
The order was bracelets, earrings and necklaces for a wedding. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough of the right color of roses on hand and needed a few other last-minute supplies, so I had to do a little shopping. As if shopping is a bad thing, right?

Another order for a rose quartz pendant went out the door while I worked on fulfilling the big one, so all in all, week 20 was great. Here's the closing numbers for week 20:

Total value of items made: $1063.00
Total expenses to run business: $99.51
Total income: $242.00

And... WOW. Everything really jumped up! But see? We passed two landmarks! The project has brought in over $200, and I've finally made enough jewelry to reach a total value of $1000!
That means if everything I've made and listed at this point sells, the shop will be able to reach the project goal.

The next landmark isn't far, either - Once we hit the $250 mark, we'll be a quarter of the way to seeing this project through to total success, so here's hoping for a successful week 21!
