Long time, no post! ... nor commenting *ashamed* Sorry about that! ^_^;
Let's see here now. What's happened since last.... Well, mom and Eleine came back from NY. Long story short, my sister sadly phailed to take care of mom and while there were glimpses of good things, most of it were negative. Poor mama was pretty much shell shocked by the experience so I devoted 101% of my focus to her over the first couple of days. The trip had roughed her up pretty bad physically, too, resulting in me doting on her 24/7. Which I totally didn't mind. Spoiling loved ones is something I take great pride in ^_^;
Now she's better and back to work so I've re-charged my batteries somewhat. Been making lots of new necklaces, totally surprising myself by feeling very pleased with the latest group of newcomers xD! Sometimes you just get on that ball whilst it's rolling jolly across the wheat fields :p
I uploaded some of the older stuffs (ear rings only) not too long ago, prompting me to ponder how to go about posting my creations. It's frustrating to have a limit on photos, especially since it can go quite some time between "photo sessions". Another thing is the inconvenience of having to go back and forth between posts to see everything. I'll look into it some more, possibly resorting to ImageShack's slide show thingy in the mean time.
Aside from doing a visual inventory of my back log I've also calculated their individual manufacturing costs O.o;; That took me a while, haha. It was interesting as well as enlightening. Now I just need to figure out what their 'retail price' should be. Kinda tricky since my stuff is nigh impossible to compare against what they've got in boutiques.
What do you guys reckon would be a fair percentage or # of dollars to add to the manufacturing costs?
Sudden end of post :O!
