In Which Our Brave Heroine Becomes an Entrepreneur

I have meant to post a million times these last couple weeks, but it kept getting away from me.  Blog posts are always skittering away as soon as I turn on the light.  Or, in a less creepy metaphor, they’re like Lucy and the football.

Anyway, I relaunched my Etsy shop this past week and applied for my business license!  Applying  for a license was actually pretty easy–I just filled out a form and paid a small fee–but it felt pretty cool to declare myself a business.  Here’s a screenshot of my Etsy shop:

If you live in the NW, I got an artist’s table at GeekGirlCon, August 11th and 12th.  Come stop by and say hello!

I also went to Comicon a few weeks ago, and it was amazing!  I hung out with author pal Karen Kincy and got to meet Tara Strong, the voice of Twilight Sparkle (and Batgirl in Batman: the Animated Series, Timmy in Fairly Oddparents, Rikku in FFX, Bubbles in Powerpuff Girls, Harley in Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, and she’s been in about a million other things, too).  She was so nice and great to see in person!  I gave her a stuffed Twilight Sparkle I made her and she was amazed and hugged it and let me take pics!

John DiMaggio, the voice of Bender on Futurama, was in the next booth over, leaving voicemails for fans from an angry Bender.  I got to go to the Futurama panel as well as the Batman panel, and everyone was amazing.  I’m definitely hoping to go again next year!
