Business is Slowing.....

I have been reading a lot on Blogs and forums that's sales on Etsy have been slowing and mainly due to the World economics, its quite scary to hear all this happening.
My advice is make the most of this slow period by stocking up on stock for you shop and get creative so that your shop is FULL of yummies and when everyone feels its safe to start spending again your shops will be full of variety.

I am starting on a few scarves for my etsy shop and also a few more Coffee Cup Cozies in a variety of colors, so stay tuned for those.

I had a check-up yesterday with the Midwife and shes not too sure I will make it to my next appointment as bubz is VERY low, so if you don't all hear from me for a few days that could be the reason......I'm getting soo excited about meeting this little feller, I got all his bags packed and started mine so I'm ready if he dose decide to come a little early.

So true about getting your stock together, etc. during slow times. Last week was probably my slowest since I started over a year ago...but I spent the week working on new designs, my website, etc. and feel much better prepared for the holiday rush that I hope to have! :)

I think it'll be interesting times. I'm convinced that people will more than ever turn to making their own stuff, which will grow awareness of those of us who already do. I think there'll be much more a sence of community as people come together over this.

Beautiful work you do, btw! (from a fellow DUSTer) Good luck with your little one...

Today, back to Business......

As I said in my last post that I was working on some Christmas decorations, I have finally gotten around to taking a photo of them LOL . On the right is the Snow flake, which is very delicate and takes l onger to make, and to the right is the Star (which is white with Gold flecks), which is quicker to make. I would really love to know what you think of them and how you would like to see them sold? Packs of 1, 3, or 5. I'm going to go out hunting for some pine tree to use as a prop to take photos with. I would really love your feedback.......

2 New Clutches

I decided to finish off a couple of clutches I had on the go, a pretty purple and a Beautiful Green. I just absolute love working with this yarn, its 100% Australian wool and its so soft and not like some cheap wools that can be quite coarse . I also decided to make a start on my SIL's baby gift (she due a week before me) so I making a lovely green and cream baby blanket, I just hope she like it too.. (pics soon). I am hoping tonight I will get a chance to sit down and so some scrapbooking and relax (fingers crossed we get the kiddies in bed early), so hoping to have a few pics of some LO's tomorrow for you all.....
