I am super tired and therefore this post may not make the most sense.


Currently I am snuggling in bed with two cats and my husband and struggling in my brain with a predicament I have found myself in. I am trying to find prices for my jewelry but I struggle with just setting prices because most of me just wants to give them to people who want them, but it does not make for a very good income if I am just giving things away like that. But I also struggle with how much to charge people that I know or are family friends and things like that because I want to give them a good deal but I also want to not get walked all over or not make ANY money off of it for all the time and energy and effort that I put into my creations. Any suggestions world? One of my friends said I shouldn't worry about who is buying things and just decide on prices and not worry about making it more convenient for them or whatever logic I am trying to find to make it more worth their while or what have you. But at the same time I basically thought I had an order from someone but now they say that they may not be able to buy it depending on the price but I have made a special trip to the store and put lots of thought, energy and effort into making what they had asked me about, hence my dilemma.

Thank you for listening/reading my rant and complicated situation that is ruling my brain at the moment and that I kind of wish I would just get figured out so that I could think about other things besides that.

I have started dabbling in necklaces, I made one today and I am pretty happy with the way that it turned out. If I continue to make necklaces I will need lots more beads though probably because they are larger and therefore will usually take more beads than the earrings. I am also trying to figure out places that I can get more beads for less money so that I do not have to charge as much and/or can make more things without making a million trips to the store for things.

I am also thinking of ways that I can display my jewelry for photos or for showing people that I know, have over or for when I take it places for people to see. Any suggestions my creative friends?

I think that is all my brain can process for the time being, so I will sign off.
