I’m not calling it failure because I didn’t put a number on it. I’m really just amazed I lasted as long as I did, even with a little cheating. But last night, after working on several different things, I forgot and went to sleep.

Here’s a list of things I did tonight.

  • Created a store front for sticker sales.
    • There are two stickers by myself and two by The Kid.
  • Made my Cricut work
    • When I tried to use it to cut stickers the other day, it messed up. I used some tips from TT comments to figure it out. I had to turn off my lights to do it.
  • Figured out how to keep Cricut Design Space from adding a bold black line to my images.
    • It has to do with transparency. Now I just gotta figure out how to fix the stickers I’ve already designed.
  • Completed The Kid’s stickers.
    • The only thing I did was create a white background with a distinct and clear border for CDS and the Cricut to cut.
  • Published the storefront and sold two stickers!
    • They were the kid’s but still. She earned $4.
  • Learned how to and made a stamp/brush in Procreate to easily add “The Kid ‘23” to her images.
    • At some point I’ll get her to help.
  • Printed two of each of The Kid’s stickers, and one of mine, just so I didn’t waste paper.
    • I then used the Cricut to cut said stickers. While they were cutting I got two separate notifications that two of hers sold.
    • We packaged those up in a sweet envelope, after she wrote a little message of course, and they’ll be hand delivered tomorrow. Ah, the glory of knowing your customers personally.

I have some to make for my nephew, he only gave me guidance on one, requested an edit on another, and liked one more but didn’t say if he wanted it. It’s not ready anyway.

I’m sure this will be yet another failed side hustle did me, but it’s fun. And if I don’t print something every day my stupid printer acts a fool.

I’m not planning on beating my streak for a while. Gonna post as they come. But I’ve got a few in the pipeline. Another page of Cora’s story. A review of some Oats Overnight flavors, and some Spite Diet updates.

Anyway here’s Wonderwall some stickers.

Language? Not complete.
Sleep is beautiful.
Mo the Cat. First sticker sale. Available
Original. Need to change the font. Available
Pink for some reason
First sticker. Still love it. Available
Background Not Included. Available
Mr. Beast. Background not included. Available
Stickers. Some WIP. Some Available.

My Bob I’m tired.

Ya Girl is BROKE broke

Link to my Store.

Broke like the broomstick of an elephant wizard learning to play quidditch. Okay I didn’t mean physically broke. I mean broke like I reach into my pockets and moths fly out cartoon style broke.

I’m adding images for posterity.

But the physically broke thing applies too. However, this post is amount money.

How many gifs can I fit in this post?

Despite the fact that I make a decent living at my Day Job, I have very little money at the end of the pay period. It’s mostly because of a truck with a growing list of problems and a thirst for expensive things.

Insert joke about gas prices.

I can’t just blame it though I eat and like to buy The Kid things.

Anyway, I’ve decided that I needed to engage one or more of my 72 side hustles. And since I can’t afford to upgrade this website suite to monetize it (I would LOVE TO), it’s gonna have to be one of the 71 others.

JEWELRY MAKING

Now, I know I have never made a significant amount of money off jewelry making in the past, and I’m not delusional enough to think I’m gonna ride a wave of earrings straight to the bank.

But I have several social media outlets at my disposal.

Feel free to, you know, check me out.

That time I made a YouTube video like I was about to do a series 🤦‍♀️

I enjoy jewelry making and I have probably about a thousand dollars worth of jewelry making stuff. Okay I might be exaggerating. But I might not.

I stopped making jewelry because I got disheartened that no one wanted anything. Or they all wanted the same thing and I didn’t have enough. Or the large pieces I made wouldn’t sell.

https://crashdlanding.com/2021/08/16/gray-is-glass/
Yeah. I tried to wear her to my brother’s wedding and the bracelet broke. Might fix might take apart.

Anyway, I’m going to try to mass produce as many different kinds of earrings as possible and hope something sells. I’ll use my socials to advertise (freely not paid) and hope I make a dollar.

Wish me luck.


Thanks for reading

My First Crafting Video

After ages and a million things going on, it’s finally done.

I fear more rejection and not being good enough.

But there is so much going on in my little world right now, I cannot let myself be bothered worrying what the bug world thinks of me.

I’ll post again soon.

Thanks

Screenshot from my iPhone from my Canva account from a screen cap FROM the intro TO my video series.

I’m Crafty

But im not crafty with video editing. Im also lazy.

I decided a month or two ago that I wanted to make videos showing people how to do crafty things.

I must have forgotten that…

  • I’m camera shy
  • I don’t like my face
  • I hate the sound of my voice
  • I know NOTHING about video editing

But I’m finally mostly confidently to the voice over part. Of video one.

Werk werk werk

And you can TOO

Yes the title is stupid. But it makes it’s point.

I’ll be sure to share the links here, just in case.

Goodnight!
