Should be grading. Not grading.

Nope, instead I'm having an oldskool Saiyuki anime marathon (omg, I could listen to Ishida voice Hakkai 24/7 and still melt every time he says a line) and putting some stuff in the Etsy shop. The current "Baligate" debacle is making me think that I might want to have a venue somewhere else, in case Etsy really does turn into eBay Lite. With that ( Read more... )

Oh dear, there is Etsy drama?

I have a domain, but my server died. I should learn this redirect thing.

Lovely sweaters, as always. My girl hasn't taken hers off! <3

omg, is there Etsy drama. The reseller issue is off the boil (though a lot of shops are going into vacation mode for one day as a protest), but now there's some huge thing about a new wedding category that ignores most shops.

Ooooooo, I would love to see a picture of your girl in her sweater sometime!!!!

Gorgeous knits! :o

Aw, thank you! I'm not managing to leave enough comments, but I'm loving your pictures of Rally--

I hope the rest of semester passes painlessly! It is this last bit that usually feels the longest.^^

Lovely new items!!! Oooo, and tiny functional pockets... I'm a sucker for little details like that! ♥

This week has felt ENDLESS, and it's still only Thursday. Bleah. But time does pass, even when it feels like it isn't.

Pockets are fun! I find it's hard to make the edges look neat enough on this scale, but I'm getting there.

Sooo, when is the semester over and ... sillydogs April 29 2012, 01:14:26 UTC

When will you have a spare day? Queen Lora should make her appearence sometime the week before Mother's Day, which also coincides with someone's birthday. I am totally loving the first and third wigs. And the sweater is fab - fab!! So need a play day.

Oy. I'm trying to figure that out myself. Next week is a mess; I will be grading and writing exams nonstop. Maybe Wednesday the 16th or Friday the 18th?

OKay, I will try to keep those two days open. I think Jack is off the 15th and 16th. We will be in Manhattan on the 17th for Jack's flight physical. The 18th should work though.

The 18th looks good for me at this distance, so let's aim for that and see how it goes. While I'm in Topeka, I could stop by Hobby Lobby or Michael's for cemetery flowers--Wal-Mart here doesn't have much to offer, and I hate shopping at Wal-Mart anyway. I'm going to make the trip down to Parsons that following Monday/Tuesday instead of over Memorial Day weekend itself (got a friend coming to visit that weekend).

Ha! I thought the same thing while I was taking those pictures: it would never have occurred to me that a sad Mina could be a dead ringer for Sara Gilbert, but she certainly is. I love that wig on her--I think it's hers for the duration.

Yes, I figure that as long as Etsy brings in traffic, it's a good place to be . . . though I still think I'll keep the domain name and put up a redirect. I'm not working in any category that's likely to be affected by the reseller thing--it's just too small a niche, BJD stuff, and the people in that niche who are more or less resellers/factories are actually good additions to the Etsy options. Etsy is so easy to use, and so reasonably-priced--it's been perfect for me. But if Etsy is going to get a seriously bad name in general, I want to be alert and ready with Plan B, just in case.
