Trying to get things done


It's difficult to get things done when you're used to having the house to your self and the men are home sick. I cant get a thing done with them here. If I get up to go to the bathroom,I come back to see one of them is on the computer looking at things to buy that we cant afford. I use my computer for my creating and cant have someone jump on it any time they please. Go be sick in the bed and leave me my work area.
I work in spurts and want the computer available when I have an idea that I need to do immediately.Oh enough whining.
So I have been working on a display for my decals so that I can put them in retail situations. I'm thinking Car washes would be a good place to try first,than maybe parts stores. I have put a picture here of what I have so far.I have been busy making decals and getting them to look as professional as possible.
I have been doing a lot of custom orders form the Etsy Alchemy requests section. I've been doing around 2-3 a week for several weeks so I have been keeping busy. my shop isn't doing all that well. I need someone to enter the items in the shop as I really don't like doing it.LOL Oh well someone has to do it and I guess it's me!
Decals are ready to wet so I must go and get it done!

What a nice lazy weekend






I have been working so hard trying to get my business off the ground that I decided to take a weekend off. I haven't done that in so long. I seem to think that if I work for myself I have to work 24/7 or I'm slacking off.
In the past few weeks I have been a vendor at a car show. Went another car Show and handed out business cards,and told every cashier where I buy my supplies what I do. I have given them cars also after being asked for one.
I'm not really sure how all this blogging,twitting,face booking and such work. It seems to me like it is a lot of work and time taken away from designing and creating......Maybe some day I will have it down.
In my Artfire store I have joined the Rockabilly guild!! I was invited when one of the founders saw my stuff. I am very honored to belong to such an awesome guild. Rock-0A-Billy is a great life style and the clothes and music are fantastic!
The pictures in this post are of some shirts I did for the Rose City Roundup Car Show here in Portland Oregon in June.
If anyone reading this knows how I can get more followers please help a friend out!Also I need help making my blog look way cool!!!!
