Fees, Fees and More Fees

I just have to vent here, I am soo tired of fees, fees and more fees.  It just seems that we work soo hard and don't get anywhere!!  Trying to make a living is getting harder and then we get nailed with more fees!!

Sorry just had to get that off my chest!!  I like selling on Ebay, but I fear the end is near for me.  With all the fees, shipping and my supplies I hardly make anything on my items.  I try to be fair and price them not too high or too low. 

National Exposure!!!

Wow 2 weeks ago, I would never have thought this would happen to me. I have a favorite embroidery design site. One of their designers has now branched out and has her own website. I just emailed her to say congratulations on the new site and that I had used her designs on a few checkbook covers and if she wanted to check them out to check out she could at my Etsy Store. To my surprise she also loves Etsy. The other day I got an email asking if she could feature me in a newsletter along with a pictue of the checkbook cover. She even linked it to my Etsy store!!

Here is what she said about me:

Lynne is another talented, creative stitcher who recently signed up at the Urban Threads site. She has an Etsy store, and I spent a long time surfing around, enjoying her stuff. She's making quilted checkbook covers with the Urban Attitudes borders that I designed for Embroidery Library.

Lots of fun stuff at her Etsy store -- purses, coasters, towels, and super-snuggly fleece blankets. Stop by and take a look around!

I am soo happy!!! I am just a small business trying to make it. I just wanted to share it with everyone here on Etsy!!

Creative Juices Flowing!!

The creative juices are flowing today. I got a nice phone call from a friend and she wants to buy a couple of handbag. I am ordering the material now!!! I am still pondering on how to make a walker bag. I think I will make a pattern with the Velcro flaps right in the pattern, at least that way they will be in the same spot each time!! This will be one funny pattern!! But I feel good it will be my own patterns. As soon as I get it done I promise I will post a picture of it for all to see. Have a great holiday weekend!!

He said, Did she Color it Grey??

     I went today to get a badly needed hair cut.   When I got home he looked at me and said,  Did she color it grey, it looks all grey now!"   Yes I did give him a light slap on the face, what a thing to say to a woman!!  I said you will pay for that comment.

     Now on the day I had before he made that comment.  It was just another day here, if it could happen, it did. I went to stitch out a blanket only to find out half way through the design was not stitching very nice and I have to stop and find another one.   One blanket I can't use, darn!!   But I guess it was ment to be, the other design was a better design and it does look better.   

I have new software that I an dying to play with guess that I will try a few things out with it!!  Have a great night!!

Shipping with the United States Postal Service

Has anyone else been having trouble with shipping??  I have had a couple of buyers complain that it took way too long to get to there house.  The one package took 3 weeks and it went 1st class!!  I emailed the one lady after she left a nuetral feedback for the delay in shipping that once it is out of my hands I have NO CONTROL over when the package will be delivered.   I am seriously thinking about just shipping Priority for some of my items.  That way it will at least get there in a week!!!    I would like to hear your comments on this, so please leave a comment.
