I made my very first Etsy sale today! Hooray!
If you don't know what Etsy is, it's this cool online store-front where you can have your own little shop selling homemade items. There's a lot of very creative and interesting items you can find on there. You list an item at your own price, and a small amount goes to Etsy. I haven't listed any "crafty" items yet, but I've listed several wedding invitation designs. It's a good way to make money on the side, and for the buyers, you can't beat the prices (at least in my shop). Someday I hope I can design from home (esp. if we're in Logan) so if I work hard enough I think I can make at least part of my living on Etsy. Like my friend Kirsten! Maybe finally learning to use a sewing a machine or make jewelry will pay off. Sure would be an eclectic shop.
OH! ps...I found my ring! It was under a small empty Rolaids box by my bathroom sink. Man, I really hate misplacing tiny expensive things.

That sounds so cool! I'm glad you blogged about that, I'm gunna check it out. Not that I'm particularly artistic but it could be a motivator to achieve noteworthy craftiness;) p.s. I'm really glad you found your ring, I was a little scared for ya.
Is there a link on here to your Etsy shop?
There is now! But...I'm a little embarrassed because there's not much on there right now.
You shouldn't be embarrassed. Those look great!
Congratulations!!! Jane and Kristine are opening an Etsy shop too. You need to put the link to your store on your blog.
hoorayy! Etsy is my disneyland- the happiest place on earth. I am so happy for you. The first sale seemed to the hardest (or took the longest to get) and then the ball should really start rolling. I LOVE your new one by the way.. vow.. amazing! you'll have to come see us soon! I know i fell way behind with the quilt contest but I am off to work on it right now. When is her baby shower you might ask? Oh, its tomorrow at 11:30 am. shoot me now.

YAY! I love etsy! I just discovered it about a week ago, but I love going on there to get ideas! Man... wish we lived by eachother!
Umm... I love the flower designs! I started "printing" my own fabric... and those flowers would look so cute on a tote!
