i’ve finally taken the etsy plunge.\u00c2\u00a0 thanks to the helpful tips and vigorous encouragement of beans<\/a> (with her awesome crafterall<\/a> knowledge) last weekend i was able to take some more photos of the things i have to sell, wade through the nuts and bolts of posting an item for sale, and subsequently get picked right away for a treasury*!\u00c2\u00a0 right now most of the things in the shop<\/a> are items i’ve made in various crafty phases of the last few years that never made it into brick and mortar stores for whatever reason.\u00c2\u00a0 i hope in the next … let’s be generous and say six months…. to have some of my most recent creations added to the shop.\u00c2\u00a0 i’m still ironing out some of the kinks, so feel free to send suggestions my way.<\/p>\n

to celebrate, let’s do another giveaway!\u00c2\u00a0 (by the way, i do have a winner for the last giveaway, but i’ve been very slow in delivering the goods.\u00c2\u00a0 life has been busy the past three weeks!\u00c2\u00a0 i like the recipient to be surprised, so i’ll wait to post until she’s gotten it.)<\/p>\n

to enter this giveaway, leave a comment telling me what you’d most like to see in my etsy shop (quilts?\u00c2\u00a0 needlepoint?\u00c2\u00a0 needlepoint patterns?\u00c2\u00a0 screenprinted items?\u00c2\u00a0 photography????\u00c2\u00a0 rhubarb sauce?\u00c2\u00a0 (um, is that legal?\u00c2\u00a0 or would i need to have an industrial kitchen?)) and i’ll choose a winner at random to win one of my screenprinted items from last weekend–your choice of either this hemstitched linen napkin \/ handkerchief:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

or this tea towel:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

apparently, i like green…..\u00c2\u00a0 both of these items were repurposed from thrifted fabric items and made more beautiful with a little screenprinting.<\/p>\n

*this is etsy-speak for a set of 12 items, usually based around some sort of theme, that users put together in a photo grid.\u00c2\u00a0 sometimes, if you’re lucky, a treasury that you’ve been picked for might be featured on the front page for a little while and then your shop gets good exposure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
