Featuring an Artisan


This cute purse can be found here.

I've decided that just blogging about my own stuff gets kinda boring. So, I've decided to start featuring a new Esty artisan every week. I know that I don't have a whole throng of followers yet, but, hey, I've got a lot more than what I started with. If you'd like to be featured just comment on this blog stating that you'd like to be featured and add the name of your Etsy shop. Right now, I will just be featuring Etsy artisans, not artisans on ArtFire, FuzzB, ShopHandmade, etc. Sorry! If you have a shop on a site other than Etsy, but you would still like to be featured, just post a comment and let me know. If there is a lot of interest, I will definitely check into it. Thanks!

Sincerely,
NeedleCraftArtisan

P. S. If you would like to be featured, you can also convo me on Etsy.

Today on Etsy

I hope to have a big day on Etsy today; make many things here at home, get them listed, and hopefully get a sale. I have already started working on a project or two this morning and I hope that I will be able to complete both of these and many more projects today. Keep an eye on my shop for new things today: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=7981954

Among the new things that I hope to get listed is a knitted Christmas colored washcloth. I am very excited about this because lately I have been sewing more than I have been knitting, and I didn't realize just how much I missed knitting until I started doing it again today.

I also hope to complete and list a tissue holder. This will be a small pouch to hold those little personal packages of tissues with a slit in the top for easy dispensing. I haven't made anything new for a while, so I am very excited about this, as well.

These are just a couple of the things that I hope to finish today and I guess time will tell just how many of my goals I am able to complete today!

Sincerely,
NeedleCraftArtisan

This week on Etsy

This is a continuation of my post: What I'm up to on Etsy.

I am still in the process of getting myself well established on Etsy, and I am still loving it! Again, Etsy is SOO user friendly and they have their site set up very well. I have learned that getting well established on a site doesn't happen overnight; it takes a LOT of promoting and time and effort. Although I have come a long way from where I started (and just since my last post :-), I still have a LONG way to go! I got a sale last week (WOOHOO!) and I have done a lot of promoting on Etsy. I think that it is slowly, but surely, paying off. I don't really mind, though, because I love posting in the forums. I listed several new things yesterday and I hope to get around to listing a lot more new things today. (By the way, my shop is www.needlecraftartisan.etsy.com)

I am planning to add a *NEW* addition to my shop later today. Now, this won't be a variation of something in my shop currently, it will be a *NEW* item. Stay tuned for more info. :-) I will do a new post here when it happens.

What I'm up to on Etsy

Hi! Welcome to my blog! This blog is about my Etsy shop: www.needlecraftartisan.etsy.com Etsy is a website for artists and crafters to sell their handmade goods to people who are interested in buying handmade instead of mass produced. Etsy is "Your place to buy & sell all things handmade." Etsy is basically the handmade version of eBay.

I sell accessories (e.g. hats, scarves, etc.), bags and purses, and jewelry. I am hoping that soon I will be able to sell clothing, too. I specialize in knitting and sewing, although I like to round out my skills with a little jewelry making. :-) Right now I am working on getting a good, well-versed inventory that includes everything from duffel bags to waste basket liners. I am still in the process of getting myself well-established on Etsy and I am loving it! Etsy is so user friendly and it is really easy to get around the site.

Right now, I have several pairs of earrings and a few bags listed and a couple of other things, but soon I hope to have a very large choice of items in my shop. I hope that this helps you to know what I'm up to on Etsy! Be sure to check out these wonderful pendants by two of my fellow Etsians: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=22112585 and http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29555015
