more sales!

Well, I've made a few more dollars from my crafting - but not directly through etsy. A few people at work got me to make them some custom items for Christmas presents but I didn't see any point in listing them since I already had the sale made and there wouldn't be any shipping involved. Since I don't have any pictures of them on the computer I'll share this one instead - a Christmas present for my mother-in-law.... happy holidays everyone!

an etsy update!

Well - so far, so good! I've made 1 sale in 10 days, which from what I can tell from reading is a pretty good start for a small shop. I've spend quite a bit of time reading through tips and tricks, "how-to" posts and I've learned quite a few things and figured out I've got some work to do, especially since I'd like to actually turn this into an actual source of income! First up - more product and better photos! Natural light is definitely your friend as you can see from the photo below if you compare it to the others in the etsy listing.
