Alright, guys, slight change of plans. I have a double shift tomorrow (yellow/yellow, huzzah), and between shifts I'm going to go mail the purses. I'm pretty much figuring I won't know what S&H is until I actually send them, so I'll send the purses, then come home and tell you all how much S&H was on your purse. I trust y'all, so I'm fine with this. :3

And Shannon, I need your last name so I can make sure it gets mailed to the right person. Comments on the previous post are still screened, if you could post it there. :3

Well, according to my price list and spreadsheet, my summer purse project is going to be a money-losing endeavor if I don't sell at least five purses at the current price: $30. It's also going to screw up my summer money spreadsheet, since the two cross over and I haven't been recording transactions in both sheets.

...this is why I'm an English major.

On a lighter note, Hayley, Shannon, your purses are done. I'll have pictures up soon, and you can tell me if you'd like anything changed. :3

Hooray, latter half of obsolete slogan for my workplace!

Which is to say, today was my first day of on-the-floor orientation for On the Border.

It was a lot of fun, and I absolutely love how fast the restaurant moves, but I cannot figure out the computer for the life of me. Everything has an abbreviation that makes little if any sense (Why is "quesadilla" "DILL?" Why is the Carne Asada and Shrimp "STK/SH?"), and everything's in a different section. Why can't we have a section of tacos labeled "Tacos?" Instead, the tacos are in the Fajita section and the Specialty section and I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE.

The MCP is running On the Border's computers, I swear. It should not have taken me the better part of an hour to punch in eight practice tickets.

And then I had to study part of the menu and take a written test. On the Border sure is serious about training their employees. XD

In other news, I have nine purses to make: Brooks, Dunn, Maria, Etna, Flonne, Sam, Hayley, Shannon, and a surprise. I'm off to Hobby Lobby to take advantage of the last of their 30% off ribbons and trim sale tomorrow (right after work and my second written test, of course). X3

Time for a little-known fact: I make purses. Specifically, I make purses out of jeans. Have you seen those little denim purses that are all the rage today? Yeah, I make those. Recently, I decided I'd make some this summer to sell, so I'm opening commissions.

But first, some pictures:

My own purse and prototype - not dialup friendly )

So are we interested yet? If so, here's a poll:

Purse poll, as promised )

To let you know, the purse pictured above will be two years old in a couple of weeks, and it has only required a few small repairs:
~ There is a small hole in the back left pocket from when I used to keep a tube of chapstick in there
~ One of the ribbon fasteners was hand-sewn and needed to be reattached
~ One end of the strap was hand-sewn and needed reinforced stitching
Considering how badly I beat up my purses (and those of you who've seen my purses know I do), the fact that this purse has needed so little repair is quite the testament to its durability.

As a FYI, anonymous commenting is disabled on this post. If you are here from Facebook and do not have a LiveJournal account, please leave any and all comments on the Facebook entry.

Finally, please feel free to spread this post to all your friends. I'm not certain how popular this will be or what my work schedule will be like, so I might be limiting the number of commissions I take and I'm not accepting them yet. I'll let everybody know when I am.

Thanks, all!
