Market Start & Construction

I’m in shambles, but it’s okay. The first day of the market is tomorrow… I’m not nearly as prepared as I was hoping. But honestly, I feel like it’s mostly my frame of mind. I don’t know if even I had completed everything I wanted that I would feel like I was ready. It just is what it is. “Well, why are you writing a blog post instead of buckling down and finishing your tasks?!”

Because this website is part of what I was hoping I was going to have looking more polished, but my time has run short. So I wanted to list out some of the upcoming changes, additions, and such.

GALLERIES:

They’re a mess. I have trouble deciding how to display my work, so the original method I was going to go with is no longer what I think is appropriate or browsable. So I’m trying to make it make more sense. I left the current pages up, but they’re going to change a bit going forward.

SHOP:

I have listings up for most of my current inventory. However, I’m severely lacking on pictures. Currently I only have a single image for most of the listings. Prints don’t have all the variation pictures… Because, seriously, 27 different pictures for 11 different prints is overwhelming right now. I need to dedicate a day to doing good photos of everything and I’ve been so spread… I just haven’t.

HOME PAGE:

It’s mostly how it’s going to be, but there’s going to be tinkering. Much tinkering. I’m constantly caught between doing too much and doing too little, but I’m nailing things down slowly.

As far as what I’m still working on for the market… I’m staining and putting hinges on my canvas wall today, finishing up 4 (AHHHHHHHHHHHH!) bags, and going by Walgreens to grab signage prints. And trying to figure out the menu for Nyssa and I. The fact that I’m still breastfeeding her is super inconvenient at best right now, sorry for the TMI. She eats solids just fine and I need to make sure I have plenty of snacks, but she doesn’t like regular whole milk very much, and she never took to bottles. So this might be a really steep learning curve for both of us. Napping is hard outside of feeding to sleep and car naps and I am STRESSING. Noon is her nap time, and that’s mid market day.

I think as soon as tomorrow happens, I’m going to feel a lot better about everything. But this build up is just killing me right now.
