I'm just the same as you are, and right now I'm in a slump too.<BR/>I think I'm craftily bipolar, I have periods of manic, happy creating and then just as suddenly it all grinds down to a halt and I get nothing done & get depressed.<BR/><BR/>About Art Fire, I think it's very much like what Etsy was when it first started out: quiet, not very pretty nor polished. Like you said, it's good to give it time and see how it'll turn out.Kitty Vanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00247210563160683644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5368217216980926875.post-19018364299982018682009-01-13T12:08:00.000-08:002009-01-13T12:08:00.000-08:00Heck!

Get rid of that thought once and for all - its not true.<BR/><BR/>Do the people you buy clothes from stick to one shop? NO! Do the people you buy your food from stick to one venue? NO! Do your suppliers sell their stuff in one shop? NO!<BR/><BR/>Most importantly - do the shoppers who buy stuff online go to one shop only? NO NO NO.<BR/><BR/>I have a shop on Etsy, I am opening a shop on ArtFire, these along with a New Zealand online shop (www.felt.co.nz - main page) will be my online shops. Note the plural shopS. No more. Three I can give my serious attention to.<BR/><BR/>Good luck refocussing. I am trying the same. procrastination is my main fault and too much online stuff.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!M Dawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10731031704072886773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5368217216980926875.post-31177634875835811332009-01-13T11:53:00.000-08:002009-01-13T11:53:00.000-08:00I'm already "cheating on etsy" I feel so bad! but ...I'm already "cheating on etsy" I feel so bad! but I've only listed 4 things-and need to get moving on adding more!jensclosethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12258207178835787937noreply@blogger.com
