Day 39 on Etsy.. err something like that

Date: Jul 07, 2010 Time: 2:51 pm Words: 355 File: AAH! moments, neonFAZE Tags: ·, , , ,

Well, it’s been 39 dreadful unproductive days. I haven’t made one sale and well, nothing is really happening. It’s funny, I wanted to pull the ‘entrepreneur’ card instead of getting a summer job and now I really wish I didn’t and went and overcame my fear and got a job. I thought this would be pretty easy, was I EVER wrong. I looked at my paypal account today and realized I only have $1.12 cents, not even enough to pay my etsy bill lol. What a shame, I need to add to my funds. I’m sure neonFAZE is almost on every social networking site… well maybe not, but plenty. That’s not even working. I have to keep trying… at least I had one sale… a year ago lol. But it is better than nothing. What do you think should be a target audience for neonFAZE? What do you do to advertise your shop and/or website? Anyone care to critique my etsy shop? Sorry for asking so many question and sounding so depressing, I think it’s the 104 degree weather outside >.<

Speaking of the East Coast weather, IT’S TOO HOTT!!! I am known for hating summer, for this reason exactly, I hate the feeling of being hot. I rather be cold watching movies wrapped around a blanket.. or… err… the blanket wrapped around me. I like snow, although I hate it when it gets under your 50 million layers of clothing when you shovel and it’s so hard to get it out D: But still, it’s way better then sweating just by going to the mailbox to pick up some mail! I also am not a fan of wearing shorts… I always feel so naked wearing shorts, it’s weird I know lol. Capris are ok, but they only do so much. What to do… what to do?

Anyways I am outtie, I want to make some things.. but the motivation just isn’t there. I wish there was some magical formula to make your Etsy prosper lol. I can’t wait for school to start, I am dying in this boredom pot. I hope you have an awesome day :)

Mini Tags

I finally have a semi-neat working place for my sewing ‘room’.  Now I am trying to get all the jewelry supplies all nice and neat as well :)   I really need this, It’s annoying having to look for everything when you want to make something.  Sometimes I just lose the motivation and all, have you ever felt like that?  Lately I have been doing nothing, except moping around… how productive.  Anyways not too long ago I made some ‘mini-tags’ to go on some of my items, My process was design a small tag, print them out in reverse on T-Shirt Transfer paper ( I had the cheap kind :D ), and then iron it on to some small ribbon, and wa-la! Mini Tags.  I also put Fray Check on the ends to stop the ravelling and yea.  Here are some pictures :) :

 

I will also be uploading some new items to my etsy store :D Stay tunedd!! Have a great day, and if you have any suggestions of any sort, I would love to hear them :)

Day 3

Date: Jun 02, 2010 Time: 4:26 pm Words: 241 File: Uncategorized Tags:

I opened my etsy site not to long ago.  I’m so excitied but so axious.  It’s so much harder to promote your shop I find. I see everyone with 8 billion sales and it’s so cool, one day I hope I get like that… But for now, I will be happy with one sale as of now :D making my total sales amount go up to 2! lol >.< But it’s better then nothing :)   I’m mostly worried right now.  Like a self consious teen “Do I look ok?  I don’t think he likes me?  OMG someone is talking about me? WHAT DO I DO?” sort of stuff. lol.  I should take my mind off… by making more items. I should yes?  Yes I should lol.  Anyways my aunt bought alot of items from me last Saturday.  I am happy about that, but at the same time I’m like “NoooO!!! I love you don’t, leave meeee!” lol.  I’ve had them for so long it’s sad to see them go, but it’s also good :)

Anyways I’m off to list some more items and making things :D   check out my etsy shop when you get a chance!  http://www.neonfaze.etsy.com :)

School is finally over!!!

Well… it’s been over for awhile now actually, but it’s been hectic to blog because we went on vacation shortly after :) . We went to Williamsburg, Virginia! It was really nice, I definitely learned a lot of history there! I also saw a little tiny bit of the White House when we were driving, I was so excited because it’s the closest I’ve ever been :) However some places were just…. “OMG get me OUT OF HERE!!” moments… like the Jamestown Settlement… which I might add is a complete ripoff lol. However, they do have a pretty big museum and all. We also went to Bucsh Gardens! I’ve heard of it, but never knew what it was like. It’s like Universal Studios… but not really lol. Universal Studios is actually much better :) … Anyhow below are some pictures of my trip.
I’ve also (FINALLY) took pictures of my products :D I’ve been dying to do them! They came out pretty awesome! Now I just need some ‘models’ aka very bored and photogenic friends to model my pieces :) I might just put them up anyway though. Here is a preview of one necklace :)

I guess it’s a new trend…

… for me blogging every month >.< School has been very hectic! I have never been so busy in my life!!!! I completely appreciate all the college seminars I went to telling me "Remember Time Management" <-- REMEMBER THAT! I'm horrible at it. I always wait much too late to start some serious projects. I do get it done though.... but I need to get better at this. Anyway, I'm almost done with my first year at college. It went wayy too fast. It's ridiculous actually. I feel like my whole college experience is going to go super fast. Next thing you know, I'll be looking for a job fresh out of college D: .

I also entered into a contest! Liption Brisk was holding a contest for Emerging Artists, my submission has been accepted!! Now I need votes, voting will start May 3rd through May 14th! I would really REALLY appreciate the votes. You can vote here: Lipton Brisk Facebook Page. Please don’t forget :D

As for neonFAZE, I have ALOT of ideas! I can’t wait to get them all started :D :D . I also found this fabric shop that is super cheap. IT MADE MY LIFE! I swear I’ve never been so happy in my life.. well that’s a lie.. but you get my point.

Is anyone up for some link exchanges?

Have an Awesome day :)

I feel like I haven’t been here in ages (blogging). But I’m still here :) School is a tad bit overwhelming… who am I kidding, and HUGE bit overwhelming. I feel like I never have any free-time. UGH! I can’t stand school. Anyways, a while back I went to New York City and bought a bunch of things to use for neonFAZE I can’t wait to show you guys the results. I definitely need to start marketing… Anyways I’m off to write my hopeless English Paper.. -.-

Hello everyone, or just you reading now :) I’ve been slacking on neonFAZE. School has been hectic… even with Friday off! Although I never get anything done on Fridays.. I just mope all day ha! Anyways, Things need to change, Jocelyn needs to get with the program yo!

So, how was your Valentine’s Day? I wanted to make some things for Valentines Day… but obviously that didn’t happen :/ Mine was cool, I went to go pick up some family to bring back home… now I wish they’ll leave.. haha. just kidding. I went to New York City on Friday, it was awesome… as usual lol. The thing that really amazed me was how close I was to Fashion Week Program.. thingy… I WAS RIGHT OUTSIDE THE TENT!!!!! And this model came out and I was instantly blinded by camera flash -.-…but it’s all good! It was very awesome, I was so excited.. even thought there was really nothing to be excited about :/ I will get invited in one day… haha not.

Also, yesterday, I went to the Jersey Gardens and bought some awesome clothes! And they are definitely different from what I normally wear… but they are great! I will definitely take some pictures… even though I’m not in the best shape to take pictures >.< The camera hates me I swear lol.

I have alot of things planned for neonFAZE :) I want to start making some tutorials and such, hopefully I succeed, I also have alot of ideas for some products. I hope you guys stay tuned! I also really need to blog alot more frequently :) Also, if you have any suggestions on anything please feel free to email me :)

Hello everyone! Welcome to the Grand opening of neonFAZE‘s blog! I’m Jocelyn, the head (and only) designer. I design accessories as of now, but it hoping to get more experienced with clothing and who knows what. Happy New Year! to you all! I hope 2010 is a great year for all!


So today was my first day of the 2nd semester in college. I went from laying around and doing nothing (but going to the gym which is really surprising I must say) to a worn out college student in just a day! It was a long day I must say, I’m used to getting out around 12 (and still being worn out!) to getting out at around 4. Unfortunately tomorrow is even longer! It is one of my earlier days and my latest :S. Someone help me get through this!!! I begin the day at 8am (but since I commute I have to wake up around 6), and then the day ends at 6pm (getting home… I’ll say around 8) -.- I feel like screaming ha. But thank goodness it’s only for one day per week :) It’s also a 3D class, I’m sure I’m going to have fun with that 6 hour class haha.

So I made my very first sale a couple of weeks ago! I was very very happy! I hope to make a new sale soon! I also have many products waiting to be listed! I just have to wait for a good day to take some nice pictures of them.

If you don’t mind me asking (since I am new to this) what do you prefer to see on a DIY blog?

Thanks for stopping by and reading (my somewhat boring and all over the place blog haha) Please feel free to link back and tell me so I can link you back too! Have an awesome day! God Bless :D
