Working like a... rabbit... or something.

No post the past couple days, partly because I was helping get ready for this ->
These bunnies were part of our table at the Farmer's Market today, but it didn't do all that well, actually. I'm not sure quite what it is we're doing wrong, or maybe this just isn't the time to be trying to sell art and crafts, but we do everything we can to make money right now. That said, a big thank you to Heidi of Puppet-a-Day for buying some of our bunnies and making the day better!
For those who don't know, my girlfriend made most of these, we have an Etsy shop (although we're kind of working away from that, because we keep hearing and seeing bad things), and a FaceBook page for trying to sell my art and her dolls.
I partly made this!
We also sell the stuff at a table at the local Farmer's Market, but since I'm also there to run a table for a friend's coffee and tea shop, taking our business to a different market isn't really an option right now.
The other reason I've utterly failed on 365 projects the past few days is this entire week I've been running around like crazy, pretty much from waking up until past dark, at least. Sometimes into the next day, if I'm up late enough at night. Today I have basically done three different jobs, on about three hours of sleep. We're still behind on all our bills, of course. Everything we own is very old and falling apart, or a gift, or mostly both.
I'm very tired.
Anyway, have some bunnies to look at, and ask on the FaceBook page if you're interested in buying any of the ones we have left, and I will be working on my actual 365 projects again as of tomorrow. Tonight I still have paid work to do.

  3. I'd love to get a bunny, but I'm a bit worried about what shipping would cost :(

  4. Might be $6? Let me see if I can get the USPS website to tell me shipping from here to B.C.

  5. $11.95 small flat rate box to Canada. Argh... That's the cheapest method I can find...

  6. *sigh* The one thing I dislike about living here is that shipping from the US often costs more than the object being shipped >.<

  7. That really sucks. I know I could ship it to B'ham WA for a little under $6, and that's maybe an hour and a half from B.C.

  8. Hey, maybe I could ship it to Point Roberts! That's in the U.S., technically, but it's as close to B.C. as it gets...

  9. Wouldn't help much, since I don't know anyone there and I don't have a P.O. box...maybe I can ask my aunt in NJ if she'd be willing to hold onto it for me until we see each other again...

  10. Shipping is $5something, a little under $6 in the U.S. Which bunny are you interested in?

  11. Do you still have the long skinny one?

  12. Do you mean the pink and white one with the teeny black button eyes, on the absolute far left? It's holding a carrot, too. We still have that one. There's a better pic on the FB page here. We still have both of those, actually.

  13. Bunnies! Bunnies! It must be bunnies! (Can you cite the reference?)

  14. ...Buffy? With that one chick who's a former demon or something and is afraid of them?

  15. Yes, that one...the long neck makes it look just a little bit like a llama, and that amuses me ^_^

  16. ...Yeah, okay, I can see that! Anyway, we do still have it.
