I am officially an Etsian!

This weekend I finally took the plunge and listed my stuff on Etsy. Now I’m just trying to avoid looking at it every five minutes to see if A. I’ve made some kind of typo or error, and B. Anything has sold.

Surely I can’t be the only new seller having to exercise this kind of restraint, but it feels nice to have it all up. There’s a lot left to do behind the scenes (like accounting. Yikes!), but I actually feel like I got stuff DONE this weekend, which is satisfying.

Thank you so much to everyone who has reposted my link on Facebook and left me likes and comments. It’s really helpful! And it’s nice to see that people actually do like what I’m making. That’s half the battle.

And thank you also to Heather, who has some amazing bags and accessories you should buy at BarelyMeasured, for her Etsy tips and encouragement. I’ll definitely be placing an order with her soon. I’m making a dress for Scott’s cousin’s wedding in November, and I’m going to need a bag.

In the next few weeks, I’ll be working on getting my first run of Christmas cards done and up for sale. I’m on holiday for the first two weeks of October, so there will be a pause in shipping, but I do intend to continue taking orders during that time if people want to place them.

In the meantime, it’s been a while since I’ve made a cake. So I think I’ll do that this week to celebrate. Expect a tasty post in the near future.
