Poinsettia pixel mosaic, holiday things

So this was my next finish. This is a pixel mosaic, really enjoying these, just wish they weren't so expensive. Possibly I can get materials to make more, a little cheaper. This is Poinsettia, 4 baseplates that come out to 8x10". It's on Ebay  as well as Etsy already.  I am working on another one already, a winter but not necessarily Christmas one, lots of blue. And I ordered another Christmas one, best chances of selling some of these, for now. I'll branch out into other types as I get into next year.

Holidays.  Somehow, this is creeping up really fast.  It's been a somewhat quiet, yet furious year of work. And somehow, not ever catching up!  So there won't be a lot of holiday crafts from me this year, not much more. Everything I currently have slated in front of me, is about it. And from a selling prospective, for crafts, but even general living, it's time to start thinking about that. As a crafter or seller of them, it's time to be ordering those supplies, if you haven't already.  My China items take nearly a month to arrive, so if you are looking at diamond paintings for Halloween and into Christmas, it's time.  The winter chill will be arriving in some parts, soon, so I am starting to stock other items, as well, warmer and some party dresses, jewelry, etc. A month to arrive, on average--.

I'm also starting to see about trying to get some beads direct, from China, on hand, and misc related stuff. Not a lot, but trying to see if there is more than a small desire for them. I tend to stay for the higher professional market, but I am getting requests for cheaper beads and smaller packages, so I may see if I can accommodate at least a few things. Only so many things I can expand at a time, until I see more growth, and right now, that is in the spring. In a few weeks, I will only be busy filling orders and trying to get a couple crafted things out the door.

Right now, I have two pumpkin things in the works, I'll show some pics on the next postings, as one is a diamond painting kit that I have 2 of, that are on hand for immediate shipping. (Can check my FB for that info.)

Fringed Purple Tulips Done, Chinese New Year

A finish! First of 2018, and first one in quite a while, at least for anything new, not re makes.  So this is the Fringed Purple Tulips, a diamond painting.  It's a partial, just the flower blooms are done in the raised dots.  It's small, 40x30cm, with round drills.  It's currently on Ebay  not sure it will last long, (will have to see if I can get another one if it does) but I will get it to Etsy then before the end of the month, if it's still up.  Fun stuff.  Think I will go back to the Siamese cat one that I was working on, it was giving me a little trouble, but ready to work on it again.

So, one thing about these Chinese items, is that they follow a different holiday schedule.  And right now, it's the Chinese New Year.  And what does that mean?  No shipping for 2 weeks from my suppliers from there.  Holy cr*p!  But it's true. So all this amazing hard work I have been doing lately on my other site, TurquoiseRoads is somewhat for naught, this second.  Yikes.  I've added a lot of diamond painting kits, working on some sexy dresses, and makeup and such.  You can still order, it will just be near the end of the month before anything ships.

Patience in the day of instant everything.  Anyway, I should have some more updates and perhaps another finish very soon.
