<p>It was my craft room, then it was a nursery (kinda) and now it&#8217;s my &#8220;office&#8221;.  It&#8217;s a place where I store my ever growing &#8220;inventory&#8221;, take my product shots, package my sold items, store all my craft stuff and maybe possibly one day create something.  It is a tee-niney room.  I am sharing these photos in an effort to motivate me to organize so that I won&#8217;t have to constantly declutter.  I need to set up systems so I can walk in, ready to work, and not have to play a crazy version of Thrift Store Twister.</p>

<p>I am starting to understand just how important good natural lightening is to a photograph.  I need to sign up for a course, quickly.</p>
<p>So what do you think of the antlers?  They are vintage, really really vintage.  I got them at an estate sale.  I initially planned to sell them in the shop but decided against after reading these words from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5788356">buygail </a>on etsy, &#8220;My point is here that if you do not do your homework in regards to what is legal in taxidermy you could find yourself in hot water with the feds.&#8221;  Cool, I&#8217;m out.</p>
<p>They are kind of <em>growing</em> on me though.  You saw that coming, right?</p>

<p>And I don&#8217;t want to talk smack about anyone <strong>but</strong> I paid someone to do my Majaba advertisement, not much but payment was tendered.  I am not pleased with it.  I am embarrassed to say it did not occur to me to make my own damn ad.  Until tonight, that is.</p>

<p>So I have written to the folks at <a href="http://www.majaba.org/heartomatic.php">Majaba </a>and hopefully they will switch it out.  If you have an Etsy shop and you haven&#8217;t heard of Majaba, check it out.  It&#8217;s the stats you crave, another chain from your heart to the computer, it&#8217;s GREAT!</p>
<p>And for the record, yes.  YES!  Yes, I just might be the last person to make embroidery hoop fabric circles to hang on the walls.  But I&#8217;m just going to crank up my boom box so I can&#8217;t hear your mockery.</p>
