koopharper @JudyEv She plays violin. The only public performance she has played in recent times is special music at church. She played a violin/flute duet with my wife.

My whittling skills are somewhat limited. Whittling a full-size wooden chicken is beyond my capabilities and wood budget. So I came up with a plan. I whittled half a dozen chicken eggs. Does anyone here know how long it takes to...

koopharper Biggest skill is patience. I really don't think I'm all that good. I just keep at it till I'm happy with it.

koopharper Someone suggested I sell them for Easter. I'm not sure that would be as lucrative as all that. I tend to avoid making religious items as a whole anyway.

koopharper They are. The wood is Swamp Alder. I've said before that it is really underrated. It is one of the easier to carve hardwoods available to me.

koopharper It doesn't happen often if their feed and housing are good. Sometimes something goes wrong and eggs get broken in the nest. The chicken will clean up the mess but might like the extra protein. Then they can start breaking them on purpose and eating them.

koopharper @marguicha My wife has gotten into it before because of that. A lot of people forget that English is not her first language and don't take that into account.

Etsy just started a new promotional sale, back to school up to 60% off. Again that's not part of my profits, that's all of my earnings and then some. Of course, I always have the option not to participate but I don't expect to...

koopharper I don't have a problem with disagreement but hatred for anyone in disagreement is something else. Hatred leads to this.

koopharper I think sales on Etsy should be left to the individual stores to create and announce. It is set up so that I can create my own sales events independent of the site's administrators. I don't understand why they need to get involved. Making a big announcement...

koopharper There is no problem with me opting out, which I am doing but expectations have been set with the customers. I think Etsy should behave like a platform hosting stores which is what they are not the store.
