So and bunch of stuff happen this last week:
I say week because on Tuesday I had my first Etsy sale, so that completes resolution 2012 A4.1- Sell something on Etsy. I sold the smaller of the two jewelry boxes that I had listed and shipped off to it's new owner in Colorado on wednesday. I didn't really make any money on it as it's noted in the wood working world that you can't make a good hourly wage on small stuff, that's why wood workers make kitchens. And I sent a little gift along with it.
Wednesday The shop worked itself out of work. This is a bad thing, I've got a job that I'm building right now but it's going to be finished by the end of tomorrow. I don't like working slowly just to work slowly. Yes the cold or the heat slows you down, some builds take longer and need more thought than others; but not for the sake of working slower. I decided to leave a lunch which gave me some time to get that box shipped out earlier.
I did work thursday, half the shop showed up to work and oddly the ohter half showed up anyway, and hung out or worked on their own stuff.
It was a long week end this week end, and I feel I got a lot done. Standard laundry/errands. At some point scroll button my my mouse stopped working. I got to meet SG Cheri and she signed my Suicide Girls book, which she isn't in. It would be cool to see her again and chat for a bit, I guess I'm a bit spoiled by how I 'met' Malloreigh for the first time after I had been taking with her online for a year. I listed a new item on my etsy page WLMCreations one of the now many 'Chrichton' vests It didn't turn out as well as I hope, I'm going to change a couple of things. Cut a half inch out of the collar, make the arm holes smaller and better shaped. I'm going back to the longer zipper that I put on my own. I feel I priced it a little low to compensate for that but what do I know? Someone favorited it already. I've gotten 40 or so page views this long week end but only 2 for the vest, most of them are going for the remaining jewelry box. I guess it's drawing people in at least.
I've had a couple of little talks with a woman that works at the grocery store I go to, she remembers the couple of things I buy from her all the time (customer service desk).
I put a new much brighter light in my sand blasting cabinet and sand blasted the radiator fan shroud for my car. I'm going to send it to the powdercoater when I'm at work this week. I guess i may get it back on thursday the 14th that would be handy.
I finally got around to sewing the vinyl onto my cars steering wheel, it turned out pretty well. I almost had a failure that would have ment redoing an hour or so of hand lacing. I almost cut threw the thread pulling it tight but it held.
I re watched 'the big hit' I've been meaning to do that since I realized that it has Robin Dunne from Sanctuary in it as the white rapper guy who can't form a sentence. I know from Sanctuary commentaries that he is a bit of a method actor and a bit of a jack ass, so I just kept smiling any time I saw him knowing he was doing that off camera as well.
I've played some single player wings of liberty, I've gone threw the 'echos of the future' mission a couple of times with the don't build any new units idea. I didn't notice what my best time was on the normal difficulty but I think it was 20-25 minutes, with the bonus for under 20 minutes on hard that I some how got with 20:08. the first play threw I got 17, and I've got it down to 7 something. I think you can do it in like 4 or 5.
So what will the next seven days hold?
