Crossed Fingers, Eyes, Toes...

I just applied to be a vendor at the Queen City Craft Bazaar in May. I'm really hoping to get a slot - not just to sell my little duffers, but because there are SO many amazing crafty people in Burlington that I haven't met. I think it'd be great to make some connections with other crafters. I've been itching to join a craft circle with other 30-something women. I'm kind of craving being around other artists...not just on etsy but in person as well.

I'm in love with this lion. He's the second one I've made and his little smiling face makes me grin inside. He's a little dose of sunshine:



I added six new items to my shop (lion included) and have been getting the first bits of feedback for the items shipped last week. This is the first time strangers have received my items and left feedback, so I'm nervous...I want everyone to love what they get. I'm also realizing I may not have shipped internationall in an expedient way - so I'm hoping that the penguins going to Argentina get there safe and sound. I'm going to talk to someone at the Post Office about my options so I'm more confident the next time something goes overseas.

I purchased the most AMAZING felt tree off of Etsy. When I get it, I'll take a picture and promote her shop, because it's stunning in the pictures. I'm honored to support other artists....and it's such a thrill to be making money through my art that allows me to buy other art. Hooray! Hooray!

100 Sales & Giveaway

I am so grateful to announce that my little Etsy shop has reached 100 sales!!! I originally opened my shop in 2006 to sell paintings of birds on wires, but reinvented myself this past year. I listed the first 20 needle felted items on March 2nd. Since then, I've received so much positive feedback, made so many friends, and have grown my art immensely (go take a look at the first few listings!) In celebration of the first 100 sales, I'm offering a giveaway! The giveaway prize is the Plumpie that started it all - featured on the Etsy Finds blog and the item that generated the first wave of real interest in my shop - the sitting fox . I will make you one of your own, but you can see an example below: To enter the giveaway, simply leave a comment with your contact information. One entry per person. The giveaway ends November 26th at 8:00 pm EST , with the drawing on November 27th. I'll announce the winner on Saturday, November 27th.

Shop Update!

These new friends are now available in my Woolnimals Etsy Shop ! Free shipping too!
