I just ordered like a year's worth of chainmail supplies and woof, some of the prices went up a bunch in the last year. On top of that, I'm finally caving and switching to more expensive saw-cut rings for a lot of products. (I got a whole rant on that, I actually used to prefer the machine-cut rings, but I think the quality slipped in recent years, and now it takes a lot more care and time to close rings so they're not scratchy, but before that quality change they shit I gotta stop the rant now.) Upshot is, I'll need to adjust a bunch of my prices soon, so order now to get stuff at old pricing.

I’ve been off the map for a couple months while working on a big non-crafting project (wrote and ran a 20 person LARP on my own), and am finally starting to recover from that. In February I’ll be vending at Anthro New England, so right now I’ve got a little bit of time to try to figure out which projects or requests I can pick up again, before I find myself in convention prep mode. I’ve got a bunch of ideas for big masks to work on, and I’d like to get at least 2 done in time for ANE. Other than that it’ll be a matter of figuring out what balance to strike between big costume items, smaller masks, and chainmail jewelry.

Finally getting around to trying to sort my gallery into coherent folders and I gotta say, this interface sucks. All I want is for things to show up in reverse chronological order. But there's no way to just tell it to automatically sort like that. You have to manually sort every item. There's a bulk editor, but you can only add 24 items at a time. When you add a batch to a folder, it adds them at the top of the folder, in the order you clicked them. So if I want to sort my whole gallery into folders, I need to scroll all the way to the bottom, then identify the things I'm going to add, and count backwards up to 24 items that I'm going to add, then scroll back down and click on those items in the correct order. Then hit the Add button. Then wait for it to load again while I scroll down to where I'd left/started off at that batch, and repeat the counting process. Oof. Also, you can't use the bulk editor to move things in or out of scraps. Ugh.
