Catching up

It's been a long time since I had a moment to update this blog. I'm still working on this project, but this season has been really busy for me and it doesn't look like it'll get any better. So instead of a big breakdown, we're just going to catch up with the numbers as they currently are!

There's not a lot new here - Still haven't had a chance to photograph the rest of the jewelry waiting to be listed, but things are slowly trickling out of the shop.

After doing the big special order in September, I decided I liked the new roses I was using much better than the old ones, so all the old rose earrings are now on clearance for half price. $2.50 a pair and $2.50 for shipping in the U.S., so you can get a pair of pretty handmade earrings sent right to your doorstep for five bucks.

Rose post earrings, $2.50


There's still a few colors available, so take a look!

Now for the numbers.

October saw four sales and November's seen one so far - rose earrings heading out the door. All in all, the bill since I last updated was just shy of ten bucks, and the income was at $59. Just enough to push us over the $300 mark, woohoo! How exciting! That means we're pretty close to one third of the goal. I'm thrilled, because this little project has paid for Christmas gifts for my family. What a blessing, huh?

There's lots of goals I'm aiming for as we move into the holiday season, but I'll speak of those more later now that I've finally got this blog caught up!

Total value of items made: $1063.00
