wheel of life

My father has always told me, that life is like
a wheel. Sometimes you are on the up-side and
sometimes on the down-side. He's SO right!

I was a lucky girl the last months - my up-side :)
I've won a cute glass pendant on Indigoluna's
blog post 'One World, One Heart Giveaway',
my treasuries were often on Etsy homepage,
my items were up there several times too and
I've won the drawing on HeliS' blog and got the
cute naughty girls pouch. What a lucky duck
I was!! ^_^

But now I'm on the down-side, I guess...
My MOO stickers turned out not as I've expected,
but it was my own fault, since I forgot to put a
background, so that they print the pics on black
background *sigh* My new leather cords are
pretty, but smell like fish!! So, don't know what
to do with them - maybe anything but jewelry
making. Another supplier delivered only half of
my order. And my new shoes, which I've bought
online too, is pretty on the front and very
comfortable, but it has a failure on the back (call
me a perfectionist, but a lonely hole is a hole) and
clicked if I walk, as if I'm walking on a bubble
wrap. I'll surely attract attentions of other people
for my walk rhythm :P

I can understand the feeling of people, who gave
other sellers negative feedbacks, better now - that
shouldn't lead me to do the same though ;) I just
feel so helpless and disappointed somehow. Asking
why they make the failure is like pointing at them
and judging them too. I did it - try to do it the soft
way, but the bad feelings remains... *sigh* Hope
they find solutions of the problems, that I can
happily be their returning customers again.

Oh my... why complaining? I still have my up-side,
for which I'm really grateful and happy!! My shop
is selling well lately. I've got two returning
customers (I agree with others, that returning
customers are the best compliments of one's work)
and I've seen some more customers are hearting
my new items. I'm a hopeless optimist, but the
hearts they give are already making me happy :)

So you see... always look on the bright side of life!
E.g. how lucky I was to find the real green berries ;)
