Weekly update. . .holidays are coming

It is November and holidays are coming like a freight train, so it's a good thing I finally got around to noodling this week. 

And by "noodling" I mean making multiple batches of egg noodles for the season. I spent hours the other day on these 5 batches and one of them became beef and noodles for dinner last night. 😁 We'll just call that quality control testing.  

I did finally get some ok to good photos of the dragons and got them listed on rainbowmaille.com I am keeping them exclusive to #goimagine and have no plans to list them on etsy or michaels, even though there is not a single one listed on michaels makerplace. I feel like I may be missing out not listing them where they would be the only ones, but I don't want to cross-post them and take any chance of double-selling because they take so long to make. I may post future ones in different places but for now these 4 are only on my goimagine.

I made this cool graphic ad on adobe yesterday and I was really happy with it until I realized it only fits on pinterest. 😏 I wasn't paying attention to the template/sizing so that's what I get for being distracted. I did cut it in half and post it on fb and insta anyway. 😉 

On a slightly annoying note, etsy stats are always wrong, after nearly a decade you'd think I'd be over being disappointed and/or baffled by things that don't add up and seem to make no sense, but apparently it still bugs me. 😏 So, it says I got 3 favorites yesterday, but I didn't get any notifications of favorites, it says 7 listings were viewed but when I look at the listing stats it only shows 6 as viewed. Then there is this gem where it appears one of the items that was favorited wasn't actually viewed, so it was fav'd from a search page and the listing was never actually opened, maybe that's the "phantom" view. 😅

On a happy note, there are more dragons coming before Christmas, one of them is even Christmas themed 😎 and I think he's going to be gorgeous.
