Today's achievements:
✔️ Sewing ✔️ Selling bags ✔️ Prepping enough bag pieces to keep Future Me busy for days

Today's challenges:
❌ Convincing Vinted that my photos are actually photos ❌ Negotiating the release of Supergirl and Wonderwoman from Vinted prison
❌ Alexa's interpretation of "90s rock"
One minute it's Green Day.
The next it's Robbie Williams.
Then some mysterious accordion music appears from nowhere before Radiohead.
At this point I'm not sure if Alexa was playing 90s rock or just selecting songs by throwing darts at a CD collection.

Current status:
Running entirely on coffee, poor impulse control, and the increasingly fragile belief that technology knows what it's doing.

Running a small business is weird.
One minute you're dealing with admin.
The next you're spending twenty minutes deciding whether a Button Moon print needs a mustard yellow strap or a black one.
Anyway, mustard won.

Today's plan: 👻 Watch something spooky 🪡 Do a bit of sewing
Actual result: 🌱 Little Shop of Horrors wristlet - SOLD 🌱 Little Shop of Horrors chain bag - SOLD 🦆 Count Duckula bag - SOLD
Apparently the Goosewell customer base has excellent taste in weird things. 😌
The sewing room is now covered in vinyl scraps, half-finished projects and ambitious plans that definitely won't result in me buying more fabric.....probably.
Back to the machine. There's still a photo pile to tackle and chaos to create. 🖤

Some people have a five year plan.
I have a fabric stash and a vague sense of optimism.
