Flunked

OK  I have to admit it,  I flunk at managing a web site and at creating a sales spot on Etsy.  Having said that I have to tell you that I really don't care.  Not going to lose sleep over it or cry about it.  No one will notice or care.  There are so many web sites out there I have saved the cyber world from an overload.  LOL  Actually I have been very apathetic about the whole thing.  First of all the Web site costs me $$ a year for a lot of nothing.  I did a pretty good job setting it up then later came back to it and can't manage changes or links without getting professional advice.  So if I can get them to give me a refund, yes they already charged me for next year, I will shut that down.  Then the Etsy account.  I can hardly keep my rug stock up enough for my local markets, so why do I want to bother selling on line, shipping, keeping track of all that stuff. 
So by flunking at Cyber advertising, I have actually freed myself up a lot of aggravation. 
See I took a class in Cottage Industry Marketing.  Loved the class and tried to transition my book store over into a weaving studio by following every single thing I learned.  Turns out I did need about 75% of what I learned, but have learned that I needed to modify things to what I personally needed.

So here is my thought for today!  A little something I made a few years ago.

Hello from Weaver Birds Rugs

Since I have a FB for my Weaver Birds Rugs, this site sits with no stories.  But you don't put everything on  FB.  Well some do but I try not to.  I have a cute story about a student I had in my shop last week to teach weaving.  It was just a simple basic weaving class with me providing everything.  She ended up with a nice 5 foot table runner.  After she got home, she sent me a message that her husb was really impressed as he thought she would come home with a pot holder!!!!  She was beaming when she left.  I love teaching someone a new skill that they had no idea they could do.
I have acquired a couple antique looms this past year.  One is a huge Studio loom.  here is a picture of it.

It has a number on the front post and I sent the info in and got it registered and just found out it was built in Davenport Iowa in Dec. of 1957.  I thought it might be older.  It weaves really good.

I am still writing a monthly column for a local paper, I use about half my space sort of as a personal blog with info of whats going on with my weaving, farmers market and my shop and guild events.  Then I review a couple books.  I do have I few followers I have found.  Cool.
