hot hot hot............

It has been so hot here lately that we are all roasting the poor kids at school and me here at home. I am lucky though I can at least have a bit of down time here inbetween dropping/picking kids up from school and activities & doing the general household chores. In that said downtime I have been doing a bit of crocheting for my shop. I must admit working with wool in the heat isn't much fun either but I haven't got the energy to get the sewing machine out and sew so it is on the couch under the fan for me. Speaking of this I can hear a cold drink and the fan calling my name as I write!! Till next time:)

Sundays wisdom...........

Practice gets rid of stage fright.

We all know this don't we but sometimes it is easier said than done! 

Speaking of doing something and not being afraid. I opened myself an etsy shop. Big cartel was just not doing it for me so I made a leap of faith and just did it. Take a look if you have a few spare minutes.

Happy Sunday!

There once was a shop..............

There once was a girl who had an online shop and very rarely did she put anything in it. The shop felt so lonely it didn't know what it was going to do until one day the owner got off her butt and produced some lovely hand made brooches to put in it. Voila! If this hasn't shocked you too much go and take a look for yourself.

On to a more serious note I have been thinking about my shop with Big Cartel. I know at this stage I don't produce alot of things to put in it but if I got my act together and did I can only put 5 things in it without then paying a fee for more space(10.00US) a month. I am also thinking about exposure. I don't have a lot of people following me nor does BC have a search section on their main page to be able to find certain things or me. So this brings me back to decideing if I should jump in and do the Esty shop thing. There is a whole lot of exposure there and it really is only a small outlay to put as many things on to sell as you like. A little help/advice would be nice from anybody out there that have one. Good & bad experiences most welcome.
