coincidence

It's funny, how things sometimes happen. A few
weeks ago, I've decided to list my older beads,
which only waiting in my private collection.
Since glasfaden has it's own line, I don't want to
list the beads there, but use my buyer account
instead. So, I looked in my photo archive, what
I could use to turn it into my banner. Found this
picture.



I've played a bit around with it and decided to
put a subtitle things on the move under the
name imperfectalia. It suits perfectly to the
picture and I had the thought, that the items
will soon move to another home :) And just
some days later I got a letter. It said, that I
could rent the apartment, for which I've applied
4 years ago! So, now things are really start to
move!

I'm already thinking, which colors I want to
have in the future rooms. So, my treasuries
are all about it at the moment :) So addict, that
I use both accounts to make them, even though
I swear not to use imperfectalia to do it *sigh*

courage

First of all, I wanna thank all, who has such
kind words to my last post. They were chicken
soup for my soul! Thank you SO much!!

Now the news: the wheel has been rolling to
a better side for me. One by one the problems
are solved. Not always, as I wish they should,
but now I can live with that. And the most
exciting thing at the moment is: I am moving!!
But more about it soon (hopefully :)).

And here my first new listing: Courage
(can you see my looooong finger nails? I should
really cut them soon :)).

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 ;)

craziness :)

Talking about doing crazy things in my last post,
I've finally listed another crazy creation. Crazy,
cause I don't know, if people would like it, if
anyone would buy it and still I list it. I think,
it's my ego - I just wanna show off, that I DO
something different, than just the sweet flowers
and berries and thus don't care about a sale :)
And still, I'm glad about the positive feedback
from my fellow EST-sellers :)

complicated

The material, which inspired me making this,
was the gray frame - junk from a board game.
I knew, as I've seen them, that I have to make
something using them. There are 4 of them
in different colors - gray, orange, neon green
and purple. I don't know, where the other three
will lead me to...

continuity

I've neglected my blog for such a long time!!
First I was busy working on the B&M store
more than usual, my choir and then my son &
I got chicken pox - first me and then my son.
While he was already back in form after 3 days
(still had to stay at home for a week), I need
over 2 weeks to recover. No fun at all!

So my rhythm is out of control - far beyond
continuity. I have a weird feeling about continuity
anyway. Actually I love continuity, but I get
easily bored on the other hand and tend to do
crazy things spontaneously. But if these
interrupts come from outside, I need such
a long time to find my way back to my rhythm.
Anyway, I'm back to normal now and ready for
the next life-rhythm. My son has school vacation,
so not yet the 'normal' daily rhythm, but my
work rhythm is back and I hope, that it'll last :)

Here are some of my work lately. They are sold
already, but you can find more in my shop or if
you want similar ones, just ask me using Alchemy :)
Furry Berries necklace
I'm so in love with those colors :)

Furry Berries earrings
I've finally started selling some earrings :)

Kreativlink, a friend on EuropeanStreetTeam,
is being Etsy's featured seller right now. Check
the lovely interview and her gorgeous stuff
(she's busy stocking up - so a good opportunity
to grab a fresh item :)).
