Neglected Shop

This is the problem with inertia. Once I stopped making things, I stopped paying attention to my shop, and I (pretty much) stopped selling things.

Now my shop just looks a bit neglected...ok, a lot neglected.


Trying to combine a full-time job (and one with very long hours) with running a craft business is difficult and really requires far better organisation skills than I, with my amazing ability to procrastinate, currently have.

But I'm working on it and my shop is already looking a little better, I've sorted out the lack of featured items for a start.

I'm working primarily on listing or re-listing something each day - mainly re-lisiting as I need to make a lot more new things something I haven't done in far too long.

This has meant the first thing I've been doing has been trying to sort out my stock, which has just left me massively confused.


Mainly the problem I'm having is tallying up the hundreds of pictures on my computer with what I've got, what's sold and which of items made from the same material are listed/have been listed and which haven't.


So I either need a much better organisational system or I just need to gather all the photos together and work out where exactly the item they relate to is.

On the plus side I appear to have solved all my technology problems, and have a new camera battery, laptop cable and the internet is (fingers crossed) running smoothly.
