Busy Beaver!

What a busy week I've had, and a great feeling of getting some things accomplished! I made a ton of bracelets, which I will show you in a moment, started Tweeting or Twittering, I'm not sure which is the correct term, and created a Facebook fan page for my etsy shop, Little Somethings. I hope some of my bloggy friends will befriend the fan page, or follow me on Twitter, if you're already on there. I've mostly been tweeting about giveaways that I've come across. I rarely blog about giveaways, which usually gives you another entry, so I thought I'd Twitter about them.I got some fancy hand made lamp work beads for Christmas and Halloween, which are a lot of fun, but cost anywhere from 25 - 75 cents a piece. That's really adding to my materials cost. For example, this particular bracelet cost 4.50 to make, which does not include the cost of the stringing material, those tiny green beads, or the fee for listing it on etsy, probably another 50 cents. So what's a reasonable price that gives me a profit, and doesn't rip people off? I really do value your input on this, ladies! What would you pay that would seem reasonable?Well, that's enough money talk, now let's chat about design. I love this particular bracelet. The red and green beads are metal filigree, and the boxes are hand made and decorated on both sides. I'm calling it Classy Gifts because it seems a little more grown-up than the first one, which I see as whimsical.I've made a lot of these pumpkin and candy corn bracelets. They only vary in the spacers I chose to go between them, but even those are always some combination of black and green.Of course I've made plenty of non-holiday items. The camera battery died today before I took those pictures, but since I spent all day making bracelets with lots of blue in them, I'll show them on a Blue Monday soon.This yellow and blue screams summer to me. It's bright and classic.I have several of these candy pillow bracelets, each a little different. I think these beads are a lot of fun!
None of these have been listed on etsy yet, but there are a lot more photos of things I've created at the Little Somethings Fan Page.
To see what others have completed this week, visit Three Under Two @ Lit & Laundry!
Enjoy the long weekend; I expect to see pictures of everyone's fun times, since I have nothing planned.
