First Etsy Sale!

Well I am very very pleased to announce I got my first every Etsy sale yesterday!  I was a little gingerbread couple made out of felt.  I am personalising the items by embroidering the names to them and adding blonde hair to the girl.  I’d been adding the odd few bits Etsy and kept sharing the posts on my Facebook wall, hoping for that first sale.  In the end it was just someone searching on Etsy who bought my first item!

So I will be finishing that off tonight and will take a pic to share when it’s finished.  I was hoping to finish off my purple crochet shawl and get that listed on Etsy tonight but looks like that will have to wait until the Gingerbread couple are done.  I think it seems that gingerbread man things are selling well at the moment.  Maybe it’s the shabby chic / country kitchen that seems so popular at the moment??  I am thinking of making a garland of mini gingerbread men and adding on Etsy to see if I get any interest.  It shall have to wait until after the weekend though as I have so many things on the go at the moment!  Lots of un-finished projects that I just must crack on with.

Here are just a couple of things that I did get finished at the weekend, a cute hearts and circles ribbon / bunting, a goddess brooch and a goddess hanging decoration.

I am just on my lunch break at work and guess I should actually use some of it to eat something instead of just writing my blog and looking on Etsy :o)
