I'm in creative mode again!
I don't know how many of you are WAHM/artisans but the creative juices are always flowing and in my situation, ie. making hats, I cannot keep up with my ideas. It would be so nice to make something new and sell it but it takes time for me to get the item right, then I need to arrange to have someone photograph it and then finally I can sell it!
I've recently tried a new pattern and yarn. Although I didn't like the pattern, I did modify an old pattern, using some touches from the new pattern and voila I have a hat that I really love. Love enough to sell! The new yarn is a cotton/acrylic mix and fells oh-so-nice! I cannot wait to give it a wash and see how it does. I'm hoping it washes up great! Then if it does, I need to make the hat in various sizes and colors. And only then can I get them photographed. All this while filling orders and taking care of my two little girls. It is so exciting and just wish I had more hours in the day to get it all done faster! Oh well, patience is a virture, right?
I can't wait to show you all pictures!

45-Day ArtFire Guide
Well, I've been MIA working my way through the 45-Day ArtFire Guide getting my ArtFire shop set up properly. Things work differently on ArtFire than they do on Etsy, so it's been alot of work editing, optimizing and hopefully it will all pay off. On top of all this, I've been happily finishing up last weeks orders for 14 hats, yes 14 hats! What a great week I had last week! It feels so good knowing that all my hard work, while still taking care of my small children, is paying off.

One of the downfalls of being a WAHM selling handmade items is that so often sales come in spurts and then nothing.
It's been a slow week for me :o( So I decided to open a new online store on Artfire (http://www.artfire.com/). We'll see if this turns out to be a good source of sales or not! Check out my shop!
