Cleaning up my act

Journal Entry: Thu Nov 12, 2009, 7:04 PM
Sounds dramatic, doesn't it? Well, sorry for the folk hoping for some juicy dirty detail, this is referring to how I handle my work.

I'm trying to get more professional in my work, and how I handle it. I'm cleaning up my gallery. Trying to get more organized. Trying to handle e-mails an note better (which I still a few to get back to, you know who you are!). Trying to get a better handle on how much I can charge for my work.

This is hard for me, as I have a very short attention span, am goofy by nature, and am my own worst critic with my work. And have less and less "free" time to send on this. Still... I need to get real about selling my stuff. I ether do it or I don't, none of the half ass stuff I've been doing. I think I'm getting some were. I think. Time will tell.

Q&A

Journal Entry: Thu Nov 5, 2009, 6:05 PM
Right.
So, I have a bunch of new watchers from the Daily Deviation I got on my Queen of Hearts costume, plus a butt load of comments and fav. Between Halloween and real life, I'm moving a lot slower then I wanted on getting back to all that.
So.... I can't thank everyone for the :+fav:s Just Can't. I'll be till next year doing that. So, I have to do a big Thanks here and hope some of them drop back by and see it, or at least don't hate me for not saying thanks on their front page.

I'll try and thank everyone who :+devwatch: me, just cuse... Well, you're watching me now, may as well say "hi"! Might take a bit.

So, now to try and answer some basic question that I've been running to a lot, and go on from there.

Question: Wow, I love your work! DO you take Commissions? And how much to you charge?

Answer: Yes, though my turn over rate is very slow right now, due to very limited time. Depends. On a lot of things. What you what, how complex it is, what you want it made out of, what size you are. I can't say a quote till I know a few of those basic, and even then I might not be about to give more then a gestamet.

Question: I love this pic! Can I use it for stock?

Answer: Please check my sister stock account,~InKi-Stock before asking me. For one, odds are she'll have it in a higher rez then it is here, and some of the stuff in my gallery I don't want used as stock. Ever. SO, if I say no, I mean no.

Question: Can you teach me to sew?

Answer: Probably not. Unless you live in my state, are willing to drive all the way to the middle of no were, and pay me, all I can to is offer advise and encouragement.

Question: You sure do talk about a lot of animals, how many do you have?

Answer: 4 dogs, 5 cats, an old crow, and five rabbits. Three of those are Flemish giants that I'm start my breeding line with. Yes, I'm trying to get in the rabbit business. The rest of our pets are adopted or rescued. And a lot of chickens and duck, plus the occasional pig.

Question: How the hell can you have all those animals?

Answer: I live on a farm.

Question: Are you single?

Answer: No

Question: Who's =InKibus ?

Answer: My twin sister.

Question: Twin? are you identical?


Answer: Nope, fraternal.

Alright, that all I can think of right now. TTFN!

Halloween/weekend recap

Journal Entry: Tue Nov 3, 2009, 4:03 PM
So quick recap on Halloween. As always, ended up finishing up a few costumes Halloween day, as well as throwing a costume together for `Zikes Finely setting on a quick Death themed outfit, complete with gas mask. :P =InKibus was running a bit of a cold that day, so she was a bit out of it. Thankfully we finally had a nice weekend with out any bloody rain! Ended up just jelling for most of the day, before we got dressed up and watch scary movies... This year it was Undead, which was better then i thought it would be. :P Then Mirrors... Which rather held up well, despite the bit of an overkill ending. Creepy, creepy reflections. >.>

Low point of the weekend was one of my lady Flemish giants had her kits, but they were still born. :( And the other is over due... By a few day. Is worrying the hell out of me, though my rabbit breed who I bought them from say all the breeders are have trouble with all the bad weather, been stressing the doe and causing all sorts of trouble. I'm to give it till tommorow before I call him back and find out what the emergency plan is... :worry: She such a special girl, he put a lot of faith in me letting me have her, I don't want to lose her. *Le sigh* nothing like a little stress!

Oh, wow.

Journal Entry: Fri Oct 30, 2009, 2:27 PM
Guess it wasn't a good day to not check DA first this this morning!
Thanks a heap to `Kitten-of-Woe < I'm flattered! :aww: And now, to all the new watches, comment, and favs... Hopefully after tomorrow I'll be able to get back you you all on a more personal basis, instead of just this cover all basis journal entry. I still might be slow though, so don't take it personally!

Artfibers yarn?

Journal Entry: Wed Oct 28, 2009, 6:27 PM
Yeah, I have almost 200 messages I should be getting to, and 2000 deviations I should look at. But I don't feel like bothering so instead I'm shopping for rabbit feeders and window shopping online.... Specifically, I've been drooling over the yarn at Artfiber I've been thinking after the holiday I might treat myself to some nice yarn, age=4"Ming or age=4"Kyoto in one of those nice rich purple colors.
Those two get good write up on Ravelry, but I was kinda hoping some one here might have bought some of that yarn or at least some yarn form Artfiber before, and could give me some feed back.

Oh yeah, and I updated my to do list.
