After my first publication I had even hoped to charge a little bit more for my classes, however I don't. I've been doing all of these things for such a long time I don't always think about it...all I can say is it's a passion.

And why it's so important for me to appreciate and support my favorite desginers and teachers by taking classes and buying kits/patterns...I have a full-time job that I love, so I am happy doing that and keeping the beading as a hobby - even though I would love a few extra hours in the day sometimes.<br /><br />As one of your fans - I know that you put a LOT of hard work into your beady business and love you for it :o)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06477124103581574051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605560048689879708.post-17384048976005397302010-11-07T06:24:47.489-08:002010-11-07T06:24:47.489-08:00You forgot to add the other 25% of your time that ...You forgot to add the other 25% of your time that you spend answering questions from "mavenettes" or "maven wannabes"!!!Sandy Pudoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16626815138771233927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605560048689879708.post-61219254370984645812010-11-07T06:21:45.147-08:002010-11-07T06:21:45.147-08:00I think a large proportion of on-line sellers had ...I think a large proportion of on-line sellers had no idea of the work involved. I know I had some success selling to a small group and knew I had to expand my market. Etsy seemed so easy, lol. Like motherhood, you don't realize all the new skills you'll need.

I wonder if, when most people start out, they have ANY idea of exactly how MUCH work they'll be doing. I loved seeing your task breakdown...and I was astonished to realize how little time was actually left for beading. I thought it was just me. I'm always thinking, "when do I get to WORK?"LLJoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13334312757155221381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605560048689879708.post-42198874733118811082010-11-07T03:17:16.309-08:002010-11-07T03:17:16.309-08:00wow mikki that was most useful thank you for takin...wow mikki that was most useful thank you for taking the time to let us learners know what it all entails , im so greatful for any imformation thank you once again :)cher's cardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16071254593990404863noreply@blogger.com
