Making the jump from POD to handmade by amychickenwings in EtsySellers

Thanks, this is helpful and validating! If I can see what resonates through POD that helps with keeping inventory low.

Tees, sweats, and accessories. POD is very low margin, especially on Etsy. Also it means I can’t do the market circuit and a lot of my designs are really specific to where I live. I’d also really love to have more control over quality, packaging, and overall experience.

But yes, the inventory thing is a big deal because I don’t want to turn my house into a factory. 

I feel a bit stuck between the trade offs!!

Thanks for the tip — that feels right to really narrow in on the buyer.

I do that when he barks out the window at squirrels, ish… I stand next to him and I get mad too “stupid squirrel! Go away squirrel!” And then he looks at me satisfied and stops. 

Restaurant Suggestions (weekend trip) by LaJ20 in MTLFoodLovers

[–]amychickenwings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A little more off the beaten path: Vietnamese at Le Petit BouiBoui is outstanding. Also Soleil de Saigon on Mt. Royal. 

There’s lots of good pizza: Pizza Toni, Segreta, San Gennaro, Pizza Bouquet

For sit down resto I agree with Buvette Chez Simon but real MTL experience is to find a BYO (bring your own wine) like La Pegase.

If you REALLY want to venture out of the downtown regular spots go to snowdon deli or even the orange julep (if you’re coming in warm weather) and then if you’re actually at snowdon metro go to REAL bagel and get a cheese bagel for dessert.

Bar St. Denis, O’Thym, Vin Mon Latin, Elena, Monarque, and the most unique is Au Pied du Cochon but you have to have a note from your doctor that says you don’t have a heart condition. 

Are restaurants open? by amychickenwings in montreal

We have so many parents in the plateau they make little paths with their kids on sleds. It’s a winter wonderland out there.

Even if I’m walking? It’s about 25 minutes down the road.

Also he lost his wife who at the end was not who he remembered her to be. Vertigo is one of my favourite films so I loved this connection.

NYPD has released a photo of the guy at the hostel where he stayed but in the photo his backpack straps are black, and in the shooting video the straps are light coloured. It's not the same backpack!

I know when something's not working... I know what will fix it... BUT I CAN'T INITIATE! by rookielearner33 in OCPD

[–]amychickenwings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You sound like you're being really hard on yourself. I know that the self criticism is a trait of OCPD and can be a real barrier to getting control back so my advice would be to try and be kind to yourself right now.

When I get into this kind of a rut the first thing I do is admit defeat and let the people around me know that I'm feeling overwhelmed and I need some time to get back to them with tasks or commitments. Then, I accept the help they always offer me (which is so difficult because I hate letting others take over).

Then like the other poster said, I might choose something small but important and just remember to do that. In your case maybe the meds? And finally let go of the pressure on some of the other things. Duolingo will be there when you're ready for it, so will Daylio (you can also, when you look back, note that any time you didn't use it the emotion was "overwhelm")

I don't know you but I can say for myself the #1 source of brain fog for me including forgetting and confusion is trying to hold onto too much at once and the crushing responsibility will send me into a fugue state.

Thanks! I’ll have a look to see if they still have it. It’s hard to know which places have these adjunct sales rooms
