Just got it too, but I did a refresh and it came up okay. CTRL F5 is a hard refresh on your computer (no idea how you do it on mobile) and it worked.
My listing this week were only the 7 mentioned earlier, all Halloween items. The hubs’ business has gone nuts, everyone stuck at home suddenly pulls out their sewing machines and realize they don’t work right. I’m also still sewing face masks, and I’m working on taxes.
Julie, so sorry your back is still out! That sucks. There’s a book called Treat Your Own Back that my orthopedic surgeon recommended to me. When your back is killing you, some of the exercises are impossible, but it really did help me. I hope it works for you.
LOL. Fun thread idea! I’ve found that, if I’m shopping for something, I think “it costs how much? I could get it cheaper on eBay!” Not that eBay is always cheaper, but I have found that I’m a lot fussier about my shopping!
Correction! Tomorrow is the last day of the Challenge! Totals up on April 1st!
Well, more fool me! Sorry about that! π
Folks, may I ask that you all put your TOTAL number of listed Halloween items up by tomorrow, March 31st?
Thanks!
Oh, and if anyone isn’t put off by foreign language films and having to read subtitles, The King’s Avatar on Netflix is brilliant! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Also enjoyed a YT review by someone who spent the first episode utterly slagging it and, not too far in, praising it to the hilt. When it first came out, the subs were dreadful, but it has been fixed and, for the most part, the translations are very good. The graphics are stunning, and you don’t need any history of gaming or Chinese culture to understand it. Excellent series on eSports.
The Mandalorian. Eps 1 and 2 are great. Ep 3 and 4 sink into dreadful, but then it picks up and gets terrific at the end. Keep in mind that it’s a “space Western” and that it hits all the tropes of the genre, and it will help get you through the rough bits. Himself was totally turned off by Ep 2, but then ended up watching it with his brother and got hooked into it again.
I am in LOVE with my new setup! I honestly didn’t know how muddled my old arrangement actually was until I got to use my new system today. No wonder my listing numbers have been so terrible!
Unfortunately, my laptop, besides being nearly 10 years old (possibly older, I think it’s a 2009/10 model), is short on space as it’s an SSD. It looks like I’m going to have to invest some time in doing a rebuild to make it work, or I’ll have to rebuild this computer and take it down. Sigh…
Love my cabin!
All my listings today were Halloween items. This one is my favorite and I’m wondering if I should keep one for myself!
Loved this!
Ayup! Forgot to put up the spreadsheet yesterday. Urk!
Vintage Lacy pipped Libby by one point to grab the win for this week! Ha! So much fun!
Chaoticgood is MIA. I hope everything’s okay.
VT, here’s a mask with a pocket for an extra filter AND using a twist tie to make a nose clip.
ChristineR, I pulled some Halloween stuff for the Challenge, but haven’t gotten to it yet. Himself’s business has gotten really busy (lots of folks stuck at home sewing?) and we’ve been tag-teaming the runs to pick up/drop off. Our normal drop off points have closed due to COVID so we’re trying to coordinate to pick up when we drop off, reducing trips. Also, he’s had a lot of house calls from the elderly who don’t want to go out.
Last few days for the Challenge, folks! Six, to be exact. Get your Halloween stuff up!
Holey toledo, they make it all so confusing!

NICE! Thanks for sharing, MyCottage. You also reminded me to use my quarterly coupon.
Thanks for all the kind words. I passed on the praise to the one who actually did all the manual labor. He’d never admit it, but he’s quite pleased. I’ll post updates then, but it won’t be for a while.
Zero for me again. As you saw from the photos I put up on Thursday, I’ve been very busy with eBay stuff in the cabin, but sorting, not listing. Actually, do I have to deduct points for UN-listing? π I’ve been ending low value items that I really don’t think will sell or that I really don’t want to ship, and will be donating them to Goodwill or my local thrift, whomever is open.
However, all my work came to a screeching halt on Friday and I’ve been busy sewing the whole week. A friend’s husband, a cardiologist, is out of face masks and she asked me to make some. I started with three different patterns and sent them to her for a test run.
He approved the gold design in the middle, but wanted the thicker straps or ties. That’s easy enough. Made another one with ties and it’s fairly quick
However, there are health care workers in my community now reaching out and begging me to make some for them too. They’re offering to pay, so far I’ve not accepted any cash. I may need to reconsider that if things get out of control, but I don’t feel right profiting off folks in trouble. Now I have a veritable production line going!
Thanks for the tip on fabric, VL, I’ve got some that I hadn’t got around to posting yet. Get well, Jen!
How about “home thrifting” instead of “death piles”? π
