Stuffs
I really should read my flist more often. My comments are always hopelessly late and useless for that fact.
I have spent all day today yo-yo-ing over making a decision. Following yesterday's post the lovely icmezzo got me in contact with a friend who has two spare Kate Bush tickets. Only they are twice the price I was considering spending. And I can't make up my mind! I love Kate Bush and this is probably a once in a lifetime chance. But I'm poor and the tickets cost as much as a plane flight back to Greece to see my family. Plus I'm not sure I'll find someone willing to pay that kind of money to go with me. What shall I do? But the time I make up my mind, she might have found someone else to give them to. I hate being poor!
Another thing I have been doing is researching materials, fabrics and stuff for my etsy shops. I want to branch out into things that I can make a better profit on. I want to try out cotton scarves, even though once I wash, iron, cut, sew, block print, iron again, the profit margin for the time spent is actually quite low.
I also ordered some tyvek to try out making simple wallets. Tyvek is that super durable paper like material the mighty wallets are made out of. I also ordered Kraft Tex paper, which is durable paper that look a bit like thin leather. I thought it might work for wallets or notebook covers, but it is very expensive stuff, so I'm not sure how cost effective it will be.
