Bits and Bobs from WillOaks Studio


Such an exciting time of year. I remember how last year, this time, as I was just barely beginning my shop on Etsy (and was basically clueless about how anything worked) I was selling well, but didn't quite know what I was doing.

This year, I have a better idea of what's what--sales are really picking up now as the holidays approach--and my time is pretty tight as I work to keep up, keep shipping, keep making--it's truly thrilling and I just love my work!

I chill periodically by enjoying all my cats and Dakota. Purrmeister really stirs things up around here and he's at least finding "accomodation" with Red Kitty. What a barrel of laughs!

I'll try to keep posting and dropping some, but there are only so many hours in a day, so please forgive me if I lapse on returning your drop or comments....I'll get back in balance soon enough because the next 2 to 3 weeks will surely fly right by!


Meanwhile, the drawing for my gift certificate held by Cafe Handmade has been posted--do drop by if you're interested as you have until Sunday to enter this drawing. And the one for I Heart Handmade, where my merchandise certificate is included in package #3, is still ongoing for a while longer!

I'm glad you're busy like this. The good kind of busy. I hope it continues for quite a while.

Who would blame you for putting sales over dropping and commenting. Just enjoy what spare time you have and get those sales :)

That cat is absolutely gorgeous and looks quite comfy too. Excited to get my order! I certainly forgive you for your business...I know I've not been updating and that's not because I'm busy....just feeling like being lazy:)

I think there has to be a "comment" mulligan for all of us in the next few weeks. Such a busy time of year. LOVE your new kitty.
