Running a business while having Glaucoma

Today I listed a Liz Claiborne Brooch and it sold in 10 minutes. That is the fastest sale I ever had since started the business June of 2012. It sold on Etsy, and is my 41st sale. Last week I hit a milestone with Etsy that I wanted 40 sales before the end of 2013 and have went past that. So I am happy about it. With eBay we have sold close to 200 items, random items, but they sold. 
I wish I knew what my eyes were going to do everyday. If they were good all day, I could work on my business all day. But, they fluctuate and I am unable to work on everything as I want to. I am happy, though to be able to still see to do what I can, may be not the best sight, but I still go on.

Not happy with Etsy

I have been contemplating leaving Etsy even though I have been selling there for over 4 years. This year they have made huge changes and made it much more impersonal. They changed the whole look of Etsy, they took away the Treasuries, and other things that used to make it special. I used to get frustrated with the amount of emails for treasuries. Then I realized I had a whole lot more people following and favoring my items. I have used the teams to some extent, but do not find them as productive to help with the selling. I think before long they will take away the teams as well. If they do that, I am sure thousands will leave Etsy. If you are going to want impersonal, then use eBay or worse Amazon.  I noticed too that some of the trusted and loving shops that used to sell and sold a long while has quit selling. They are still on Etsy, but not selling items anymore. Here I reopened a Vintage store a few months back, and changed my name on the design with jewelry shop and frame...
