I finally finished adding extra pics to my item listings on Etsy. Quite a laborious job, but it could increase my visibility, so I’m game.
I’m now focused on trying to get my stuff to show up on Pinterest. It’s where I find a lot of the beautiful things I share here. When they pick up a picture from you, they provide a “Visit Site” button you can press to be taken to the item and then you can also click on the name of the site to be taken to see ALL of their work. This would increase my visibility a lot, so I’ll work on that.
I did find that some of my stuff is already showing up there. I’m not sure how that works, but I’ll research it. I also discovered a “search box” at the top that has probably been there the whole time – the YEARS I’ve been enjoying the site – but never used before. DUH.
All this work has eaten up my time and energy, so I haven’t worked on my latest wood-burned pieces much. I need to drill a ‘bowl-shaped’ spot in two places for the pegs on these plaques I’m making for pets’ leashes, etc. I JUST figured out that I can go ahead and DO that – but NOT add the glue and the pegs until all the wood-burning, painting, and varnishing are finished. ANOTHER DUH!
I had to really make a lot of notes to myself about the trash people adjusting their schedule for pickup this week due to the Labor Day holiday. It shouldn’t be a big thing, but routine around here is the main thing that keeps us on track, so when something changes, it throws us off. My husband was running around, thinking we had messed up not gathering trash yesterday as usual. I had told him about the change, but he had forgotten or didn’t listen to me in the first place. :0) Anyway, we just gathered our stuff and drove it to the bottom of our driveway for pickup tomorrow. A note -it will go up so we won’t forget to check on the trash tomorrow and drag the can back up to where it lives.
A shout-out to my friend Nora who just brought home an 8-week-old Maltese puppy to be a new part of her family. She is over the moon, having had to wait a long time to find one, and then wait for her to be old enough to bring home. Welcome to your new family, Skye!
Have a happy day.
