i almost did it

i almost hit open shop today. i don't know what stopped me except etsy tells you 18 times that you should have ten pieces in your shop and i only have eight. or that for some reason i have my heart set on opening in april. like april is a fresh new start and a brand new world. also, i'm second guessing most of my stuff. but i only have a week to do that. one week before i go live! hello world!

this one i'm not sure about. to me, it screams beach. it's so funny. sometimes i create something and i'm like eh- this is awful. throw it out. then i leave it for a while and i'm like well, maybe? but then i convince myself that no one else would like it. but maybe i should just put it in and see what happens? maybe i'm not giving people enough credit. or myself enough credit. that happens.

the more i look at it in this post the more i think -yes. that would be nine. and it's already photographed. i guess we'll see. i can always keep it around for a back up.
