Things to think through

scottishlassAs I have been staying at home since last year and not working in a continuous fashion (authors are fickle creatures and even book publishing is seasonal), living on a single steady income is increasingly difficult. Due to my cancer I can't work on a normal job anymore as any employer wouldn't touch me with a 3 foot pole (too expensive for them if I fall sick after employing me).
So I'm thinking and re-thinking about opening an etsy shop in the new year. Cottage industry here I come. Though I still don't know what to offer on sale, only paintings, only quilts, only plushies or something of everything that is somehow connected through looks (I am thinking about making Chica and Cenour plushies etc.)
A catchy name for the shop and the goods also has to be found and of course shipping, packaging etc. I have to think about. I want to have a distinct look that ppl know these goods are stuff made by me. I am working on a cute rendition of Chica and Cenour as plush pets, thinking of fabric to imitate their fur as well as thinking of easily to reproduce patterns to make these plushies. The idea for all this I got when I started on the craft meme items which will be finished hopefully before Christmas.
So lot sof things to think about and to finance first *icks*
