@Totalanimefan: It's warmed up now thankfully! Our water had frozen and we were not prepared...
Yeah, I figured it'd be a quickish post. *^*;;
How'd the snow there go?

@PoeticTorment: Oh wow, good thing that is fixed.
It snowed a lot today! We got 8-10 inches! You might have seen my thread on it?

@Totalanimefan: Yeah, it was cold. Lol Now it's back to the 50s during the day. *^*
Not yet? I haven't been very active lately. I got into crafting again and started needle felting little plushies...
They take a while cause I forgot the multi-needle so I'm stuck with a single needle. XD

@PoeticTorment: I would love for it to get to back in the 50's. We are still stuck in the 30's and have been for two days. Today it should reach 45 I think.
That's cool! Are you making them for yourself? Do you have a shop?
Oh no, that sucks lol

@Totalanimefan: I think I jinxed it, it dropped in temp again. Lol
I'm doing some for myself just to remember how to some of it again atm.
(It's been a few years since I last needle felted, like 15yrs lol)
I want to sell but not sure about pricing and whatnot?
Yeah, can't say I dislike it though. I'm getting pretty quick at it. XD

@PoeticTorment: maybe you could look at prices on Etsy? Make sure it’s at least what it costs you to buy the equipment plus your time.

@Totalanimefan: I kind of did but prices varied quite a bit. Anywhere from $20 + for similar-sized felted toys. I thought about just doing $25 since I know how to keep my cost down with filler so it's not very pricey for me to make them so I'm just charging for my time but I'm not sure they'll sell so I guess I'm just worried about trying? *^*; I mean honestly, I've only sold a few of my artworks for real money so I'm not well versed in costs and how too. XD

@PoeticTorment: You don't want your price soo low that you are swamped with orders either. That happened to my cousin and she felt like she was soo busy but not making much money. But at the same time, I know you know prices better than me lol

@Totalanimefan: Well, for a small plush that fits in your hand, I thought 25 would be a good medium price?
If anything I could do 30 and made to order, I guess. *^*; I'm honestly not sure, it's just been a thought atm.
I'm mainly using poly-fil and very little wool so I could have several ready to go at first if I do open a shop.

@PoeticTorment: That's probably good? How long does it take you to make those?
My cousin charges a little extra for a made to order too.

@Totalanimefan: It takes a few hours to make one. Not sure on the exact time though.
I know a multi-needle will cut the time down a lot, like over half and I plan to get one before I open a shop if I do.
Oh? Like an extra 10 or something? I might have to remember that. X'D

@PoeticTorment: for sure you are going to need the right tools for the job lol. Yeah it was always just a little extra so maybe plus 10 is good. Some people would ask for bigger plushies when it was custom so those would be more.

@Totalanimefan: Lol Yeah, I kind of figured it'd be better in the long run. Plus for now, I can practice. *^*;
Oh, yeah. I forgot they might ask for larger ones. I'll have to take notes so I don't forget all this later. XD

@PoeticTorment: Yes. I find a have to take notes a lot to remember things or to remind me.
How are you?

@Totalanimefan: Lol Yeah, it's mostly helpful. As long as I don't lose my notebook. I've thought about sticky notes but forget to get any. XD
I'm doing alright, just a bit tired since I didn't sleep well since my grandmother fell and broke her thumb and it was bad enough to need surgery.
I plan on calling her tomorrow and checking on her. My aunt said the surgery went well at least.

@Totalanimefan: She's hurting a bit but she's doing alright. She's 72.
She dropped something, leaned forward to get it, and just tumbled over on her hand wrong.
She's frustrated that she's stuck doing nothing but she at least knows she has to let it heal.

Donator — She/her Posted 2 years ago ( 2022/01/9 22:53:38 )


@PoeticTorment: That kind of stuff makes me afraid to get old and weak. Growing up in Florida I heard stories all the time about people falling and breaking a hip or hurting themselves.
She will be able to heal and rest properly right?

How are you today? Here it's just raining and cold so I've been studying.
