You don't have to have the worlds greatest product to make money selling your handmade items. You just have to have the right price and reach the right audience. I see people with inferior and/or simple products that make a fortune and have a ton of sales. (Excluding those damn resellers we all can't stand)I also see people with wonderfuly high quality and complex items of the same nature not selling even enough to cover their costs and time.
  The difference is in how the items are marketed. You can't put up an Etsy shop and expect the people to buy. It takes a lot of time, effort and networking to get yourself seen. There are so many resources out there to help! My next post will be a list of links I found to be really helpful. Stay tuned!

Started an Etsy team. So far we have 20 members! I'm just itching at the bit to share my success with everyone else. One of  my team members made this. It's totally adorable, right?! I think it would look really cute as part of someones home decor. I want one for a pincushion, but I might feel bad for doing chicken voodoo on it and filling it with pins. If I start poking it do you think some chicken somewhere will feel it?

Just finished this today. :) It came out really nice! The corset is reversible, and I made two overskirts for her. She was fantastic to work with and now she'll look great at the renaissance faire!

Check out this beautiful quilt made by one of my Etsy team members! Really beautiful. And I just LOVE anything with batiks!

Good morning! Today I have to finish up two petal style overskirts and do a chemise. Then I have to start on a cosplay costume. It's a Warrior Princess Peach costume, and I'm "frankensteining" a mermaid costume for the top part of the bodice and designing the rest myself. Updates and pictures to follow soon (I hope).
  I love when I get really creative customers that ask for the fun custom stuff. :) Meanwhile, back at the Etsy ranch, I got a double feature in a treasury! Check me out!
