Ta-Dah!

Some new items showed up in my shop tonight – as promised (maybe just a bit late). I’ll be adding even more tomorrow night, and the rest of my new items on Wednesday. IF you’re lucky, I might even have a new knit bracelet up before the weekend. All of this is in preparation for […]

Must they tease me?

Over the past year I have collected a handful of prints on Etsy. This one is my favorite:It is from Lineanongrata.etsy.com. Julia, the artist, also has a wonderful blog here. Well, I was happy and content with my knitting print until I saw this little gem in her shop this morning:Do I really need to […]

Hello, my name is Erin…

and I’m a Christmas addict. Those who know me, and know me well, know that I am a sucker for all things Christmas. Oh yes, I’m all for the true meaning of Christmas, being with family, sharing the love, etc – but man, oh man, the things that come in the Christmas package are great […]

Two times a charm?

This little gem sold twice today pushing my sales up to 160 on Etsy (7 for the Orbital design alone). I did a happy dance, but not too much of one. It’s late and my body can only handle so much dancing when it’s late. I’ve been doing a lot of knitting this weekend. My […]

Holiday EtsyFest

The Holiday EtsyFest is an Etsy wide sale on November 27 (my birthday and Thanksgiving) – December 1. There are a TON of Etsy shops participating and I am one of them. I’m still thinking hard about what my sale will be – but rest assured it will be worth your time to come do […]

Put On Your Red Shoes…

I had to dress up tonight for the Theatre Squared Gala. “Having” to dress up can mean a lot of things to a lot of people. Some people rummage through their closet until they find something, some people wear the same thing they wore to work earlier in the day, I take it as an […]

Personality

When I first started selling on Etsy I wanted to be very professional and that meant that I thought people needed to take me seriously to accept that I make nice things, good things. Over the past year I’ve found shops on Etsy that have personalities. Beyond the pictures, beyond the items, heck, beyond the […]

Comfort

Comfort can be a lot of things to a lot of different people. Right now, to me, comfort is knowing that my mom is getting better. Cancer is a long, ugly road, but for now, she’s doing well and she’s getting stronger. I find a lot of comfort in that. For the first 7 weeks […]

Holiday Trunk Show

I’ve been busy preparing for a Holiday Trunk Show that I’m participating in on Saturday. A fellow AREtsian, NightSkyProducts, told the street team about the event and I jumped on board. I will be joining a few local artists/crafters for this show. There will be soap, paper goods, jewelry, scarves, massages, food and of course, […]
