About 2 months ago, I was excited that someone had purchased my handmade beach waves clock. I honestly couldn't believe it. Not only because it was one of the first things I did with resin, but because who would want my item when there's so much better stuff out there? I was reminded that handmade items have their value because they are handmade. People who buy handmade items are not expecting warehouse production. 

One of the things that I struggled with at the beginning of the journey was letting go of my creations. For some weird reason, I would get attached to each item I was making. There was a small feeling of 'don't let it go' even though it was meant to go to another home. Two months after creating various items, I still have that feeling. I can look at a lollipop and say what I was listening to when I was making it so when it's time to ship it, I go back to that night and recall the process that brought me so much joy. 

I'm about a week away from my first Etsy Marketplace event. I have thought so much about the layout, whether my items will sell out or I won't sell at all. I have put a lot of energy and money into preparing for this which makes me very nervous. I wonder where this process will take me... will I do events all year? Or is this something that will slowly die off? At the moment I cannot tell. The best thing to do, like always, is enjoy the process and welcome the possibilities.
