Hueisei!
Since there was only one genuine entry you are the winner (and I have your address, I'll be sending it out to you on Monday).
I guess this skirt isn't very popular. I think this is very indicative of why my shop never went anywhere, the things that I like and I think are nice other people just don't. I saw this all the time, I would come across other shops on Etsy that had thousands of sales and great feedback, but the stuff they sold was poorly made or just plain ugly (IMHO). Maybe I'm just completely delusional? I blame my dad. haha He told me all the time as a kid that I could do anything and be anything I wanted. He was way off on that one, but he meant well. That's what you're supposed to tell your kids right? Well we don't all get to be movie stars and astronauts or even small business owners, so I think I'll be taking a more realistic approach with mine.
But anyway due to the outcome of this giveaway I am seriously thinking of just donating everything else. I have about 6 weeks worth of clothes I was going to give away, but it would be better to just be done with all this I think. When you can't even gain interest from people by giving the stuff away it's pretty depressing. I really don't feel like drawing it out anymore. It's become yet another reminder of that fact that I've completely failed with the one thing I ever wanted to do. Who needs that? Not trying to bring anyone down and I sure as fuck don't want anyone feeling sorry for me. I made my bed, I'll lie in it (another thing my dad taught me). However I feel the need, especially now, to state things the way they are. I spent way too much time following fortune cookie philosophies (Think positive! Don't give up! You never know how close you are to your dreams!!!) This blog isn't going to always be rainbows and sunshine. There will be some of those sure, but that's not reality. If you're here for the giveaways (why don't you enter?) sorry to have wasted your time, sincerely. No one knows how much it sucks to waste time more than I do.
I'd wager it was the sizing that's at issue with the giveaways more than the item itself. The skirt is beautiful, btw. I didn't enter because I've already won something recently.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure this is where I'm supposed to pet your hair and give you something really uplifting and amazing but sometimes you just want to be pissy for a while. I know I sure do and I don't want someone coming in and trying to distract me from it. lol I like to rant, wallow, and get it all out.
Hair petting I can do without actually. I've been listening to that BS from different people for years and it hasn't done any good just delayed what I should have done long ago. You can call it being pissy if you want, but. I call it living in reality. Not everyone gets what they want.
DeleteThis is really pretty. I didn't enter simply b/c I didn't see the post. :( Oh well.
ReplyDeleteThank you for choosing me as the winner. The skirt is so beautiful. I immediately think of my sister who is size small. She saw the picture and like it. I love all your giveaways by the way.
ReplyDeletedarling it seems you really go through rough times at the moment and i know whatever i will tell you won´t change this. but be sure on the other side of the world someone is thinking of you and wishes you all the best!
ReplyDeletekiss and hugs mary
I can´t understand all your thoughts...but I feel your apathy. I think that many times we think, if we put many effort in our stuff or lives, the people will love our roject...but this not to be true all times.
ReplyDeleteThis is not the end, we have to walk and walk to find our place.
I hope, you can understand my poor english...
All the best!!!
roject=project... :-)
DeleteI know it's not the end it just sucks to find out that you've been walking in the wrong direction for a long time.
DeleteI didn't enter because it doesn't fit me. I love the stuff you have made. I often wonder about some of the shops that sell a ton/blogs that have a lot of follwers.. I think it is more getting their name out their then there stuff being better than someone else's.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jessica. I still like what I make too but it looks like we are in a very small minority. Oh well.
Deletei didnt enter because i just found your blog today, otherwise i would have! please do more giveaways, i will most certainly enter now that i know of your blog!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I appreciate that. I'll think about it too but this week I'm way too busy anyway. I just don't have time these days to promote so hosting a giveaway won't be very successful...
