Here's the latest on the Consumer Protection Safety Improvement Act: CPSIA: It's February 10th, So Now What? Even though small businesses don't have to undergo testing of their items for children another year (but are liable if their products end up having a certain amount of lead or Phthalates), I'm still creating my nature table figures for people who are over twelve years of age. If you don't
I would love to have an etsy store - but Yeti has always stubbornly insisted that you can't possibly charge enough for the things I make to justify the amount of time spent making them - therefore I may only craft for love, and must use my brain and other talents to find ways of earning money :) At times I have resisted, but overall, I think he's probably right. Good luck with your new venture though - I hope it is a roaring success - and I know your pretty figurines will be a major temptation for me lol
Schelle: I agree, which is why I've resisted the Etsy store. I think that if I do make any sales, they will certain cover the cost of materials and then some. Since I am making the dollies anyway as a creative endeavor, sending them out into the world to people who actively want them may be worth it as a hobby business (actually, an extension of my storytelling business, as they are storytelling dollies).
Do you have an online gallery of your work? I'd like to see it.
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it ridiculous that they would bother to exempt rubies, diamonds and other precious gemstones from testing on children's products? I mean, are we going to use big enough ones on our kids' toys that they aren't a choking hazard anyway?
BlueMamma: The rubies and diamonds I use on my nature table dollies are as big as ostrich eggs, so I think I'm in the clear. No choking hazards!
(How could I resist?)
I know how out of context this comment will seem, but I wanted to stop by and wish you a very very happy Valentine's Day.
Also out of context, we need a Saint Valentine story from our Saint Storyteller!
Beth: I don't care if it's out of context! It's good to hear from you. Happy Valentine's Day to you, too.
LSM: I don't know how I can top the one I did last year: http://saintsandspinners.blogspot.com/2008/02/song-of-week-rainbow-song.html
I had meant to record "Green is the Color of My Merman's Hair" (edited and updated), but it's not yet ready. My voice teacher says it's her favorite of all the songs I've brought to our sessions.
