little projects in style:: shoppity shoppe

something small i've been working on recently. i now have an  itsy bitsy little shop! :)

it has been on the books for ages but i've hmm-ed and ahhh-ed over it because i was scared. scared that no one would wanna wear something i made, worried that my crafting is not perfect (still not!) and all the other 101 naggy insecurities. but life's too short, huh? so i threw a small little bait into the ocean a few weeks ago.


my small bait :: reversible apron 

 
all my favorite things squished into a little apron.

and guess what!? someone out of the blue bought it! a guy from texas! maybe it was a gift for his wife of 6 children who makes delish casseroles every night. maybe it for his mother who knits purple woolen socks and sits in a rocking chair. maybe a darling daughter as a housewarming gift. whoever it was for, i hope she/he loves it! i even threw in something special to celebrate my first sale. ever! :)

so that kinda gave me a little jolt in the right direction! and i added a few more things to my shop..


some got featured in really cute treasuries, like this and this.

so come visit! :) and tell me what you think. each piece in my shop is one-of-a-kind but if you'd like a custom-made piece, feel free to write to me!

most of all, a huge huge thank you to my readers and friends who have literally forced me down this path. i really appreciate it. i would have never dreamt of something like this on my own.

so in celebration of new beginnings, im humbly offering a special for our blog readers, complimentary shipping for one month. anywhere in the world! please use coupon code:: launchparty01.

  3. Wow, it's impressive. Something I probably wanted to do too but never have the confidence or patience for. I am known to be quite slow in completing any crafts altough I like doing them. Do you only do one of each item or more? Good effort I must say :)

  12. I love it and I am so proud of you. I have a friend here in PA that I'm trying to encourage to start a Etsy shop... she's an artist stuck in the body of a server :( maybe you'll be inspiration!
    PS - I'm not sure I could buy an apron. It's too cute and I would want to wear it out like a 1/2 skirt... haha
