Well dearies, I'm much more organized in my crafting area!
Yesterday I bought more plastic containers with lids and organized all of my fabrics by type (fun prints, everyday prints, interfacing, lining fabrics). I also decided to use one of my big glass jars for holding thread. It's clear and really pretty as you can see all of the colors. I even organized my notions into smaller containers! Totally exciting.
This morning I awoke to find I've already sold my pink bird makeup bag I listed yesterday. Hooray for sales!
I've been trying to be more organized this year, as it will make next year's taxes even easier on me. Etsy's dedicated part of it's website to "The Storque", where you can find all sorts of news, updates, videos and more. Well guess what I found? A pre-made Seller Worksheet!
I just spent the last hour customizing it to my needs. I needed a column for Charity percentages and I also wanted to include the sum of gross sales each month. And now I'm all done with January and February (thus far). Everytime I make a sale, I will just enter it into the spreadsheet and away we go!
So I listed another umbrella coin purse today:

And now I'm off to water my plants, straighten up the livingroom and get ready for my friend Dorian (and maybe her girlfriend) to come over for brunch.
Speaking of plants, here are photos of my kitchen window, from left to right:
OMG, I just sold something else in the time it took to write this blog! One of my zoo pillows! How awesome! Today is a great day.

I'm going incagnito :)
I need to invest in some organization supplies, I'm embarrased to even talk about my current arrangement. That umbrella fabric is fantastic. (mamaziel)
