]]> Comment on The decline of eBay as a selling venue by Corey Chambers on eBay http://koregonbeads.wordpress.com/2008/09/17/the-decline-of-ebay-as-a-selling-venue/#comment-863 Corey Chambers on eBay Tue, 14 Jul 2009 17:49:18 +0000 http://koregonbeads.wordpress.com/?p=200#comment-863 While I agree that eBay has been on the decline lately, the decline has been slight. eBay remains the world's largest and most popular online marketplace. The other auction-style venues are tiny in comparison, and thus offer much smaller results. While half of the items listed on eBay don't sell, this is usually a result of a high price or glut of similar items on eBay. I sell 96% of the items that I list on the first try because I list properly, and I list them to sell. Compare the traffic of Etsy and ebay and you will see that, while eBay has dropped a bit lately, Etsy traffic does not come close to approaching the visitorship of eBay. See for yourself at http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/etsy.com+ebay.com If you live in Southern California, and you find that you lack the time or expertise to sell your own items on eBay, feel free to contact me to sell your items for you on consignment.

I like your work, is this all in morretti? it gets really hard when glass and everythign glass becomes your life. you will get it back, I find that at least once a year, I have to take at least a month and not burn out my artistic creativity, not to mention, that I find the crap that comes up in life can really distract from the deepest forms of creativity that swims within us.

I haven't made beads for such a long time, but I've decided to head out to the garage tomorrow and make them again. Life for me has also gotten in the way of doing something I love. How weird it is when something you love becomes a chore. Maybe that's just part of the human condition. Anyway, I'm excited to get started again, but I'm a little afraid that my first bead making session in over a year will be a disappointment. We'll see! I'm going to totally ignore the selling and business side of the venture for now and just enjoy making something pretty! We are in such similar places.

Fri, 03 Apr 2009 17:29:38 +0000 http://koregonbeads.wordpress.com/?p=421#comment-747 Hi Kay. I can totally relate to what you're going through. I think it's burnout and I hit it a little over two years ago. I've struggled with not feeling creative and not having that hunger to get out to the torch every day. So, I made myself go through the motions day after day. I'm starting to feel better and getting a little excited to torch again. I've had to learn to not be too hard on myself. Not to criticize what I was making, how I was making it and whether it was selling. That's tough. It is what it is, and sometimes we (especially as wives and mothers) have to put our own stuff on the back burner for what is going on around us. That sucks, and I used to struggle against it thinking, "Why do I have to put things on hold?" but that is just how it's worked out. I think you're doing the right thing and being good to yourself. Just think...how would it feel if you didn't have golf and weren't working on yourself physcially? Thank goodness for that! ((hugs)) **Lori Hi Kay.

I will remember to pray for her. I love your big beads, your stringer control is so good, and those flowers! My Dh told me I can only do beads for pleasure, no selling or worrying about selling. Do it when I want, but doing it and stressing about money would take the joy out of it for me. He is totally right! Keep it up, Kaye, I have always loved your beads, esp. the hearts you used to do. I have collected hearts for 20 years!! I am sorry to hear Jen is having issues again. I will remember to pray for her. I love your big beads, your stringer control is so good, and those flowers!

Another 20 to 30 to go...just depends when it stops coming off. from past experience when I was younger, that is a hard one to tell, I am faithfull to my elliptical and dvd/exercise...and golfing a lot. I sure don't miss that 30 pounds (since my scale was bought end of Sept) and I think all in all from my highest I lost a total of at least 40.
