Adding Lots of Holiday Bows to My Shop!

This past week, I've been enjoying making some holiday bows and clips for my Etsy shop.  I almost have 100 items listed, so I'm hoping once I get there, my shop will get noticed some more :)  I am adding new items everyday, and enjoying creating with all my new ribbon!  

I just LOVE curly korker bows, don't you?  I plan on adding more of these adorable bows soon!

These little clippies are too cute!  They are great for holding back hair bangs and look great on babies-with some hair of course!  I will post more of my items again soon.  Stop by and check out my holiday section here http://www.etsy.com/shop/SheWearsitWell?section_id=13763278  Feel free to follow my blog by clicking on the follow button!

Some Holiday Accessories!

               Fun Halloween hair bows in my shop!

Come and see the new holiday/seasonal hair accessories in my Etsy store.  Right now, I only have several, but over the next month I'm going to add a TON more!  Whats more cuter than a little one wearing holiday accessories!

Girls big and small will enjoy wearing these cute bows!  

Below is a cute Fall hair bow that can be worn throughout the Autumn season or for Halloween!

I will be adding NON holiday items as well so check back often!  Here is the link to my shop
She Wears it Well-Pretty on the Inside AND Out!

Baby is Sick Today

You might not be able to tell from the picture because she looks happy, but my little one has had a fever all night.  She just chooses to be up playing right now.  She gets short burst of energy, and joy, than gets fussy and cranky again.  Her brother made her a play area so she's been enjoying the blocks. I'm thinking she might have an ear infection, though.  I'm not sure yet. 

So my Etsy shop,  will have to be put on hold for a couple of days I think.  I have my baby to nurse back to health :)   I've been a little discouraged the last week because I haven't had a sale in like 20 days or more.  Reading in the forums on etsy, people say it takes a lot of time and I guess quite a bit of sellers experience "no sales" at times.  SO, hopefully soon I will see sales again.  

Feel free to come by my store and have a look around! SheWearsitWell

I Love Baby Crochet Items! A Featured Shop

Wow!  Today I came across the cutest Etsy shop that carries all sorts of  handmade crochet items.  The shop is called, Paintcrochet by Andree Tunde  There is just something sweet about crochet baby clothes and accessories.  I started crocheting a few years ago and made some cute hats and flowers but didn't pursue it.  I should start again.  I just wish I had someone to show me more about how to crochet.  Oh well, maybe I will start crocheting again, someday.

Omg, I am in LOVE with all her stuff!  I can't wait until the weather gets cooler, so I can have my one year old wearing these lovely creations this winter!

I love all of them!  It will be hard to choose which one to order haha!

Stop by and visit http://www.etsy.com/shop/paintcrochet?ref=l2-shopheader-name a wonderful shop full of some of the cutest crochet items ever!  There are even stuff for men and woman.  But I'm a mom, so KIDS are always on my mind hehe.

Some of My Handmade Hair Bows

       
Come check out my shop!     Here are examples of some of the hair bows I make.  I put a lot of care into making these.  My kids could vouch for that too!  I treat the bows all tenderly, and don't let my kids touch them, unless their hands are washed!  Then they are photographed and put away, waiting to get sold.  I haven't sold a thing in 2 weeks!  Man, I hope things pick up.  They say on the Etsy forums that the summers are slower because families are out more and doing stuff, so who knows.  I'm praying the sales will start coming soon!  http://www.etsy.com/shop/SheWearsitWell?ref=si_shop

The Princess and the Dog

The other day my older daughters decided to dress up my 1 year old, and take her outside to take pictures  with my phone.  I saw how adorable she looked while our dog just sat there as the Princess playfully swatted at her.  I quickly grabbed my camera and shot away......

Meanwhile, our dog, Buttercup relaxed calmly as the princess snuggled with her.....

   And loved on her.   Aww, good dog Buttercup!                                       

                                   Then it was time for the Dog to go...uh oh....

The poor little Princess was devastated!

Of course she was easily consoled shortly after, with Mommy's hugs and kisses!

My Journey Has Already Begun

I opened my etsy shop April 25, 2013 and have discovered IT IS NOT EASY selling on Etsy.  I thought I could just make hair accessories(WHICH I LOVE TO DO) and post to etsy, and then generate sales.  Well, come to find out there is soooo much more to having a successful shop!  Since I opened I have only had 8 purchases.  I didn't even get my first sale until 6 weeks after opening.  AND I had like 40 something items listed instead of the 17 I started with.

I have learned since then, that etsy is more than just doing what you love.  It is a tedious, but rewarding process of doing what you enjoy, and marketing yourself to get your products known to others from all over. While being a wife and raising an amazing family of 5 kids, having a shop on Etsy can get overwhelming at times.  Sure, the first couple of months I found myself in front of my computer way more than I wanted to. Learning as much as I could about SEO, tags descent photography, and so forth.   I started to forget why I wanted to start selling my work to begin with.  Which is to do what I love-create adorable hair bows, and hopefully make extra income, while mothering my beautiful kids full time, and being a good wife.

 So now, I try to make the best of my time, and be the best mom/wife my family deserves!  I don't know  if I will be successful with Etsy, but I do know I'm going to strive to make my kids and husband happy-most of the time ;)  You are welcome to visit my shop  http://www.etsy.com/shop/SheWearsitWell?ref=si_shop
