I am slowly getting back to stocking my Etsy site. I had a baby girl in late April and I have be basking in the glory of being a mom to two little ones (a boy and a girl).
My latest Etsy endeavor is a bead embroidery pattern book of all the favorite stitches I teach in my Bead Embroidery class. It is in a pdf format and has 9 stitches with detailed drawings, directions and a photo of each stitch.

I am already working on my second pattern booklet of beaded beetles, bugs and dragonflies.

I have had an etsy shop for a year - have had 2 sales - but that is good considering how little I have 'worked' it. I am a longarm quilter and love to quilt for others - so have started trying to sell this service on my etsy sight. I really like how well the google search works with the etsy listings. My shop is http://www.inallthingsart.etsy.com

Hi everyone! Since I'm sponsoring the challenge this month it seemed like I should at least come and introduce myself! My etsy shop has been open for 2 months. Im am selling hand dyed and painted fabrics. It is quite the learning curve to learn how to be found and seen on etsy but I am really enjoying this new venture! My shop is vickiwelsh.etsy.com

Hi Everyone,
I have had an Etsy shop for quite awhile. I was doing well but due to ill health I had not updated it for awhile. I seem to be back in the groove and will add more things soon.

I just took a look at your Etsy store, PennyHeaven. Beautiful work! But, I do think you need to work on your photos. Some of them are dark or muddy and the cropping could be better. Having good photos is key to selling online, especially when you are selling higher ticket items. If people can't see or touch our online items, you have to make the photos speak to the experience as closely as possible. I would also recommend having more items so that buyers can have a range of choices. If you don't like doing the technical side of managing your store (most of us find it a chore), maybe you can trade with someone who has those skills and is willing to do it for you. Keep at it and it will happen!

Thanks Libby,
I din't know about the forums, I will check it out!

Hi PennyHeaven,
Don't worry about it taking a long time for that first sale. Have you gone in to the Etsy forums? People write about their sales or no sales and get lots of encouragement and information to make your store have profits. Hang in there!

I have had an Etsy shop since the beginning of this year, I have yet to have a sale. I would have more things on my Etsy page but I am too lazy to do the uploads!

Hi! I just opened an Etsy shop this week! I'm a rug hooker and I'm selling hand dyed new, upcycled and vintage wool. It's already felted so it's ready to use in your fiber projects when you receive it! Please stop by! http://shabbysheepwool.etsy.com
