The post where she finally says it out loud!

This week has been full of little crafty things - nothing spectacular.

I noodled about a bit and finished the boys sun hats.

and a little backpack


I made a bag for a new little friend called Iris.....................
and I kinda opened an etsy shop as well.
So far it is going super well- not one single hassle, it has really lived up to all my expectations.
Truly.
What? Really ?
Oh I am meant to put things in it? Made things?
Sheesh! and sell them to people ? and make up prices and think about overseas postage and make a banner and think about wrapping and packaging. Then I have to think about postage times and currency conversions and layouts and photos.
oh!
I think I might have to get back to you on this one guys!

  1. Hum...that bag is very cute, how do you come up with those things?

    I am feeling like my reasons not to have an etsy shop are valid all the sudden...
    thanks!

    who is too lazy to make stuffs to sell, and who'd want my crap anyways?? AND it would mean I'd have to finish stuffs too, and finishing stuff is over rated! :)

  17. Hey Jod, Be very careful making those boys such special little backpacks - before you know it they will be packing their hats and duffle coats and running away together. They can always come to my house. Can't wait to see Etsy. Shaz

  24. Hmmm! It does sound rather daunting but I hope you find the time and inclination to go through with it-you do make such lovely things that people want to buy. Love the latest accessories and yes how do you make them stand up!!!!

  25. I know, it is a hassle putting things in the shop. I have stuff sitting just waiting to be photoshopped, priced, postage calculated etc, etc. But I know you will be a big hit when you do put stuff in the shop.

  26. Oh my, Those little guys are the cutest!
    And Iris' purse is so sweet.
    Hey, I'm looking into opening an Etsy shop, too. Mainly for craft packs of fabric and the occasional sewn item. I'm anxious to hear how you like it!
