I am ready to do literally anything else.

It has been two months of futzing and fluffing, but I think the site is ready to go live for sales.

Tomorrow I will soft launch the site and then start trying to drive some traffic here.

But for today I am putting my fee (mostly) up. I’m going to try to finish ‘Between Two Fires’ by Christopher Buehlman and get it back to the rabid dogs at the library (I kid, I kid).

As the website development nears a close I am really looking forward to getting back to the ‘printing’ part of running a print company.

First up will be to flesh out the site with some  of my old designs from the Etsy shop. I will also need to wrangle my models (offspring) to get some product shots done.

My priority will be a couple of the Witch shirts (Baba Yaga, Herbology…)

After that I intend to rework some of my earlier designs in honour of the new shop. First up, probably the Green Man.

Lastly I need to prepare for doing an  in-person event. I expect that to be my main source of traffic since all internet ad sources appear to be enshittified. (nod to C. Doctorow)

Doing in person shows will also give me the opportunity to clear out some of my back stock. I still have a ton of random ringer shirts that have been unavailable for a couple years.

When and where, TBD.
