Hi everyone, I am finally getting things done in my etsy shop. I added a new item today. My Chocolate arm warmers. I have them here in my pictures and in my etsy shop. These arm warmers definitely keep your hands warmer in the winter time. Leaving the fingers free to use when ever possible. So far, I haven't had a sale in quite a while but, I am hoping to start getting them soon with all that I have been adding. It takes a while to get stuff made and listed but, you just keep making and…

Hi everyone. I will try to be on here as much as I can. I do not have internet at home at them moment so I am posting from my laptop at work. If I can post at using thewifi from my cell phone, I definitely will. I hope to have my internet back on by the beginning of February.

Hi Everyone, I am fairly new to Craftsu and so far I love it here. I plan to add blogs, new crochet items and hope to make new friends here. So far, I have 10 items from my shop here. Stop by and check them out. The one thing I love about my shop is, I love to make custom orders. See something you like? Just let me know and I can make that item in your favorite colors. I just made 2 custom hats for someone for Christmas. They turned out great. Just wish I had them to list here. I am also an…
ContinueI am glad you have an Etsy shop. Your product are beautiful. I think your neck and arm warmers are great ideas. I see the usual mittens and hats all the time, yet I think it's the unusual items that sell.
You are correct--we need to be patient and keep on making our crafts! I takes a long time to get everything 'together' and not just the products. The whole business endeavor including creating web pages, marketing, advertising, insurance, business plans, etc. I have been working on my business for almost 4 years and I my just now getting a lot of page hits for my online shop. Now it is time for me to focus on getting more products made. And then there is the 'creative spark' moments--sometimes it's there--sometimes it isn't!
Good to hear from you,
Tina
