Still plugging away!

Still at work adding to the inventory of my store. I made a skirt for my sister Sharon and sent it 2 days ago. She should get it today. Can't wait to see what she says. I am still working on the real focus of my shop. I had thought children's clothing maybe or babies or ladies. I have looked at bags and wallets. I need to settle on a focus and work on that more. I am going to explore other shops more to see their focus and if they have a wide focus or not. I love creating and that's why I'm working on this. I have added a few new things, the blue and green kyoko dress and the cowgirl skirt, both of which I love. Suzy wants a skirt so I am going to the fab shop this weekend to find something she would like. I also want to work on my sewing space to make it more user friendly. (Me=user)! Maybe I will take before and after pics of that and post them. In the meantime I am having a Yart Sale at my site and I want to start a Facebook page. I'll let you know how that goes!

New clothing added to my shop

I have added three things to my shop today. I especially love the Kyoto dress with the sash. It is so soft and gorgeous. I would love to see a little girl wearing it!
I am really trying to focus on the oriental style clothing right now and hope I get some more sales. Sharon wants a flair skirt so I am going to start that for her. It is going to be purple. I will post a picture when it is done! Oh well, back to sewing!

A new sale

A wonderful lady from California ordered 2 of my items! The orange and green dress and the red pjs. I sent them to her and she gave me great feedback! Thanks to you lady from Shrunken Cat Heads. She sells awesome jewelry on Etsy. I am excited about my store and I really need to add a lot more inventory. I made some headbands that I will put on and I got some other cool patterns I am going to try. Fun fun! Julie graduates on Thursday so I have been busy with that and getting ready to camp. Julie said to bring the sewing machine camping with me...I might just do that!

Trying this thing!

I got this download from my etsy shop. It is called mini etsy. Cool. Just push the link at the bottom of the pictures and you get to my shop. (It's cut off a little but it still works.

First sale! (from my sister)

I sold the cute purple dress to Suzy and sent it over to London today! I used my cool packing slip and tags. Fun! I keep reading how hard it is to get started so I just have to keep trying new and different things to see what sparks peoples interest. Thinking of going to organic fabric for some of my stuff and see how that goes. I always wanted to try that. So here is the outfit I sold to Suzy!

Keep on going!!

I put 2 more things on my site today, the pink skirt and the orange and green kimono. I also replaced some to the green skirt pictures. I talked to Sharon yesterday and she was really impressed with the site. Cool! Now I just need to sell something. Anyway, I hope Sharon looks into putting some of her stuff on Etsy, I know she could find a niche. I am still trying to find mine. I like the kids clothes but I love women's skirts, dresses and cool tops. I'm just going to keep adding stuff and see what happens!
We are having a thunder storm!

Wow I'm busy!

Working a full time job is the pits when I would rather be home working on my sewing! I have put a few items on my Etsy page and they look OK....but I would really like to have better pictures. I have to learn a lot more about photography, I was reading about one shop owner that said she opened her shop with blurry pictures and no idea what she was doing. Boy that sounds familiar! Anyway, it's fun and I am always looking for new things to add to my inventory! So take a look at the cute skirt I will be putting on the site soon.
