Spring/Summer

Although we haven't been having the warmest weather and it definitely doesn't feel like Spring, things have been hopping around here. I've been selling quite a bit of Spring/summer clothing for one month and have a couple of custom orders going on right now. My first repeat customer in a matter of days which makes me very happy, is another positive thing that has happened.

After setting up my Etsy site for SEO (search engine optimizer) thanks to someone explaining it simply, I've managed a lot more views, it's incredible!! I really think everyone can benefit from it. I think It's Better Handmade on FB is also a good site to leave something of yours and share something of someone else's, that way you both get advertising for your shop.

I also believe that if you are going to sell more, a page at Facebook is essential. It gives a lot of people (don't forget to friend lots of people) a good look at what you have to sell and everytime you update your album (which is a good idea to put up on your page) everything in your album is shown to everyone you know and their friends, in the feedback.

If anyone wants to asks questions, please do!

Well now I'm into metal working and wire wrapping with my Jewelry

I just can't get enough time to let out my creative ideas for my jewelry. I'm in the middle of finishing up a custom order necklace with beadweaving and jumping in my free flowing ideas. I really have tons of them and for clothing too. I'm thinking T shirts with a twist and have one ready to sew up with bright colours.

I'll be putting them up as they are done so hope you stay tuned!
