Got some things done this week... just a few



A week ago I wrote a post about being angry with myself and feeling down about things going not so well with my work. It has been a week and I took some advice of some of the wonderful woman that posted comments on my post. Or at least I think that I did lol. I tried to work on my Etsy Store and make some changes. Not sure if the changes were good ones, but I am working on it. I got in contact with a few photographers and I am so excited to work with a few that I have already sent my first set of props off to Amanda Thompson Photography. She has some newborn shoots next week so I am so excited to see the pictures. I am working on my next few samples for a local photographer and cant wait to get those off to her as well. I will keep you posted on when I do that and what happens. I also had my first order ever off my Facebook Page. That is very exciting for me. I made her two hats that I will post here for you to see. They are both new patterns for me one is a Flapper hat with scalloped edging and the other is a very cute Monkey Earflap hat. SO things are looking up and I wanted say thank you to all of my wonderful readers that made comments and suggestions. I look forward to another productive week and please if you read last week and you notice any changes or suggestions are always welcome.

  10. Just went down and read last week's post. So glad to hear about your first Facebook sale! Sounds as though things are starting to look up. The internet is such a big place I have a hard enough time just trying to get traffic on my blog, let alone trying to sell things online too. Wishing you all the best of luck. I do believe if *you* believe in what you're doing, you will be successful!
