My crafty bit on the side!

Scary, Scarier, Scariest.

After getting over the scary bit of releasing my wares in to the big wide world via Etsy, it then got a whole lot scarier when I received my first orders. I was actually going to have to make something that someone had paid good money for. But then after making the ordered items with more love than I show any human being (both orders were diamante personalised pants and I place each individual diamante by hand) it got to the scariest bit yet...I had to...send them away. Popping my hard work in to jiffy bags and dropping them in to a a gaping black hole never to be seen again was terrifying. It was like sending a piece of me away forever. I am just hoping that they have gone to a good home and that the buyer loves what I have done!

My Etsy Shop is Open!

Well well well. It turns out that if you make the time to do stuff, you get it done! Who'd have thought it?

I have gingerly put a few of my personalised wedding and bridal underwear out there. And I am now obsessing over page views and wondering why I haven't had an order yet. Apparently this is normal, as many Etsy newbies express on the forums. Phew.

Equally as gingerly, I have created a Facebook page to showcase the personalised underwear I'm making. Although when it comes to blowing my own trumpet and inviting people to 'like' my page, I am stumbling. I don't want to be one of 'those' Facebookers who piss everyone off with their constant updates and begging to like/play/donate/share something within 5 seconds or the puppy gets it.

The bridal underwear I'm doing at the moment is basic but I will be making and adding more as I go along. For once I have started at the beginners stage rather than jumping straight to intermediate and winging it!

Please do drop in to my Etsy shop sometime - it will make me do a little dance when I see the page views increase :) www.etsy.com/shop/SewendipityLife
