Holy man! My shop is doing great! Things have really picked up and I’m having so much fun. I decided to do a sale this weekend on stocking stuffers. Everything in this section is buy 2, get 1 free until Monday, Dec. 11. That’s the last day for posting things First Class Mail in time for Christmas delivery. Come check it out – barrettes, bookmarks, trinket boxes…

Here are pictures of my newest listings. I bought some great yarn from another Etsy seller (zaarucrafts) and decided to make some scarves out of them. I’ve also decided to use my appliqué skills to make funny baby clothes.

I bought ad space in Etsy’s newest cool web thingy. I am feeling a little nervous and a lot hopeful that it will bring some sales to my little shop. I’ll have a space in the showcase from midnight tonight until midnight tomorrow. Wish me luck! 

My guitar pick holders have been really popular. People seem to like what I applique on them. I actually made a plain one thinking people would like that, too. I was wrong – it hardly gets any views at all. So, I decided to start appliquéing other things, too. This seller was extremely helpful to me in figuring out the best way to do it. Go check FortCloudy’s shop. Very cool – great pictures, too.

Anyway, this is my first listing. It’s a kick butt tie, that’s what it is! I have some baby onsies ready to go, too. I’m so tired of cutsie baby clothes. So, one has a martini on it and the other has a vespa. I’m working on a vulture, too. I tried a centipede but it didn’t really work out. Anyone have some ideas for funny stuff to appliqué on baby clothes? I’d love your suggestions!

OH! And, Etsy was featured on NPR weekend edition today! Sweet!

I'm going to be in the Etsy Showcase on Tuesday. It's a chance to advertise our stuff. Let's see if it brings me any more sales. 

Shop Update

Well, it sure has been a long time since I updated this blog! I’ve been really busy working on crafts for the Christmas gift buying frenzy. At least, I hope it’ll be a frenzy! I had a milestone last week – something I listed was sold in under 12 hours! (It’s the first picture in this entry). The two other pictures show my newest listings. I have added gift tags to my shop. They come from my field guides and I absolutely LOVE them! The other is my newest guitar pick holder. Who can resist a rocket ship?

Well – I have to get going! Both kids are sleeping and I want to get started on my next crafty project.
