I Think I Broke My Brain

I have been working day and night on my Zazzle store for a good four months now with almost no break on any day. Today there is big biz about how Zazzle is changing their product search system. There is confusion but also a lot of problem solving and support between the Zazzle community. So long story short is if your product hasn't ever sold or if it hasn't had a view in 6 months it is no longer going to be in the search, a customer will still be able to see it in your store if they visit and look through. I personally love this idea as most of my products get views, but many people are scared about how this will affect their sales because indexing takes time.

So today began the fantastical search for products which had terrible tagging, and boy did I find what I was looking for. This iPad case was the first and the worst.



It had the title "fairy". The description was "A beautiful fairy". There were about 20 one word tags, all out of order as when I created this I was new, and power tags had not been invented yet. Still, a lot had to do with noob antics. It was title and tag abuse plain and simple. And so today will forever be known as... The Rectifying. And yes. It was terrifying.

So I spent a good part of the day re-titling, re-describing and re-tagging, and I think my brain may have switched from creative to analytic because since about 2pm, when I finally decided I had seen enough horrible things for one day, I haven't been able to make one damn design!! I tried to make 5 different themes, patterns, designs but I am somehow lacking the ability at this moment. Quite often I start on something and it just turns into something beautiful right before my very eyes, but today out of frustration I went on a deleting rampage. First it was layers, then it was whole new pages, then I just switched my program off all together. It was messy, it didn't go together, it didn't fit, it wasn't right, it was all just so wrong.

I'm really hoping that maybe I had stretched my concentration to its limits to the point where making beautiful images was out of the question. If that's the case then sleep is the answer to this problem and tomorrow is another day! Bring it. I am lost without my creativity. Now its... drum roll please... NEW PRODUCT TIME!!

Addicted To Coffee

I remember my first ever coffee. I was 13 and my parents had gone to church, I decided to stay home and clean the whole house instead of go to church, or as I fondly called it, the place where fun goes to die. The very fact that I willingly stayed home knowing I had to clean the house from top to toe while they were gone says it all. They were nice, those church people, but no kid my age wants to sing music from 1 year ago let alone 100, or sit and listen to someone talk about some jibber jabber I haven't had to worry about yet in my whole 13 years of existence, for an hour of my life I was never going to get back. I wasn't allowed to have coffee yet so I decided while my parents weren't home I was going to be naughty, boil the kettle and make one for myself to try so I treated the granulated coffee like chocolate powder - two teaspoons right? No, better make that three. My step dad liked one, but I was somehow sure I needed three. My step dad liked one sugar, but I was g

Spoonflower Vs Zazzle Fabric

Image
You may not know yet but I am super excited to let you all know that Zazzle is now selling FABRIC!!! I am super excited because about a year ago I was making pram liners, I often couldn't find what the customers requested in the local shops so I began thinking about designing my own fabric to make the liners with as well as selling them on eBay and Etsy, and being able to sell on the site would have been ideal as well. So off I went on a quest to find this magical place where I would be able to place my designs up for sale and buy as well as sell my fabric and make beautiful pram liners. I found Spoonflower, and it was the only place which did all these things which I needed. So I jumped on the band wagon made an account! I soon found it wasn't going to be easy to just place an image up for sale, there were a few hoops I had to jump through to get my designs up for sale. You can make a Spoonflower account - easy! You can upload an image and see it on the fabric - easy! You ca
