Shop Hop Saturday---Work Week! And Sweetheart Celebration!

I'm working hard to get back in to the swing of things.  Mostly I am working away on my crafts to keep getting them listed in my etsy store and such.

I do have 2 new postings this week.  They are repeats of products already in my store:

Cotton Crocheted Washcloths Set of 3 in Billowing Blues 

Save the Earth Fabric Bag 

 

I have a couple of things lined up to list next week already as I work on some larger projects to get listed.

I am working on a quilt with flower fabrics, a new toothbrush rug, sets of double thick crocheted hot pads with matching coasters, and I have 2 table runners I want to get put together.  I have one more fabric bag ready to sew and material enough to make 3 or 4 more of the Save the Earth bags.

 

On to the sweetheart Celebration---Monday, January 9, 2012 is the last day for get the early bird pricing of just $5 for a 45 minute presentation time.  Hurry in and grab your spot!  We are back on track on having these online parties and they just get better with each one and more and more know about them.

 

Shop Hop Saturday--Little Bit of This, Little Bit of That

Just a heads up from the start.  I really doubt that I will be doing more than a Merry Christmas post next weekend  :)  We will be super busy Saturday all day with 2 families and then church.

As a reminder, here are my current goals:  (may re-think them for the new year, not sure yet)

1.  Build a new squidoo lens or update a previous lens each day.
2.  Post at least 3 things a week to redgage.
3.  Post 2 things a week into my etsy store and continue to move other things to my zibbet store.
4.  Keep up with the reviews and regular postings to my blog.
5.  Sew at least a little bit each day. (this goes with accomplishing goal 3)

I have been doing pretty well with #1--will head in there after I am done with this post for today's updating.

I just went to redgage and posted 3 photos.  I was a little disappointed that the 3 videos I had posted to youtube this past week weren't auto added to redgage?  They used to be.  I know my wedding video was as I rec'd comments on it, but I can't even find it in my account now.  This is one that needs to change for the new year.  It didn't take me long at all to add the 3 photos, so why can't I take the time to make it to redgage daily?  I accepted more friend requests and left lots of comments while I was in there too.

I posted 3 items for sale this week in my etsy store.  I must add to this goal to move at least one item per day from etsy over to zibbet!

Save the Earth Fabric Bag 

 

Hotpads--Set of 2 

 

Cotton Crocheted Washcloths Set of 3 in Billowing Blues 

 

I am thinking for best results and sales I really must have a minimum of 50 items in my stores to choose from.  Getting to that on zibbet won't be a problem if I just get busy transferring them over.  With the free account on zibbet, 50 listings is your limit.  I am perfectly fine with that number.

 

Yes, #4--still keeping up with regular postings on my blog, but still need to work on those reviews.  In fact, I really need to review an album yet today and get that up along with a giveaway.

 

#5---I have indeed made it in to my craft room for some sewing each day this past week.  A couple of the days weren't more than 10 or 15 minutes, but I am happy with that too!

 

That looks like that's it for this week's report.  I will be working more this week to finish up Christmas gifts and wrapping.

Shop Hop Saturday 7/9/11

Good Saturday!  Time for Shop Hop with Ruthi and abitosunshine.

I have a few more pics that I want to make into zazzle designs.  I do hope to get some things done in there this week.

I've listed 2 more items in my etsy shop that I completed this past week.   I'm really starting to rethink etsy.  I think it's a great website for selling hand crafted items, but I'm just not getting orders.  When you list there is a .20 listing fee per item.  The listing stays up for 90 days.  The 90 days is good...if it sells.  If it doesn't you have to pay another .20 to re-list the item.  Which, I have done so over and over.  Most of my items are low price so relisting them really takes a chunk out of the small profit that I earn on my items.    I'm thinking that if they don't sell, going ahead and posting them over to my blujay store where it's free to list.  What do you think?

Here are my 2 new items:

Polka Dot Fabric Bag

marsha32  

Baby Bibs in Heart Design Set of 2  

I had taken the time to re-list school books over in homeschoolbuy--not all of them, just the ones that were still available to just hit re-list on from the ended list.  I've not taken the time to keep them up.  I think I will give up on homeschoolbuy as well since for whatever reason, I am the only one who lists there!  I am debating----just put the books out in our yard sale, or copy the listing over to blujay.   The items don't end there until they sell, or I choose to end them.

Debates debates debates....all I know is that I need to earn some money!
