As we move into the month of July, I think we are bumping up my wife's time-table for launching her Etsy shop. We initially thought towards the end of July, but I convinced her over the weekend (and today) that we should put the finishing touches on some things this weekend and get the damn thing live by next weekend.
Now if only someone would ride my ass about my cook-book that I wanted done by the end of August....
In any case, I'm stoked about that. The key is to see if we can't get her making more than she makes now at her "job", in which case she'll quit and work full-time at selling her crafted goods while she finishes school. Not that she has a crap job; she has a great job, but she'd rather be self-employed like myself, and allow herself the freedom to set her own hours, work at her own pace, and determine her own paycheck.
That being said, I totally nerfed my paycheck today, because I spent about 3 of my working hours researching some prices on some of the things we are going to be offering for sale, and doing some rough figures. It's all good, though :)
This weekend is going to be fun, as well. We are taking the weekend away from games and other things and focusing entirely on crafting. We have several tea-sets we plan on working on, some wind-chimes, some little boxes, and some general nick-nacks to get up on her Etsy shop.
That's my Monday morning update. Cya!

These thingies will be selling on Ebay where? :)
And as for "I totally nerfed my paycheck today" - it's amusing because you can see how gaming language becomes recognizable to non-gamers - my mother said the words "epic fail" about the task of moving a refrigerator by herself (she's small and old now, heh) - and I almost giggled at the thought of my Mom sitting there playing Halo2 on Xbox Live, and cussing out someone over their use of a rocket launcher.
Updated my own blog, after reading yours. You crazy greenies, I tell you.
the first time I heard my dad use the word "newbie", I almost choked. He's a total redneck rancher. This was about 6 years ago, but still...at the time I was like....!
