Revamping the Site and Possible Paganizing
In my last post I talked about how I've been stressed out looking for a place to sell my work. Well, I've done a lot of looking and even tried a couple of places, but there really isn't anything out there that's going to work for me. I decided that I had two choices. Give... Continue Reading →

The Joy and Shame of Culling my FaceBook Friends List
I've been slowly reducing the number of people that I'm connected to on FaceBook for about a year now, but yesterday I decided to take it to the next level. I'm connected to over 1,900 people.

The YouTube Monetization Issue
Like many people, I recently got the email telling my that I no longer qualified for monetization on YouTube, and until/unless I did, I wouldn't be able to make any money.

Big Girls in Leggings and Not Being Sh!tty to One Another

There’s a Lot That Goes Into Making a Handcrafted Product
I've been conflicted lately because I've seen a lot of things online which say that when you're writing a description for a product, you should only write about what the product will do for the customer and how it will make them feel.
