So with the start of my ETSY shop (shameless plug: please visit http://www.etsy.com/shop/MeganHolding) I have realized that I am not as crafty as I thought. In fact, I would call myself craft-less after seeing how talented the rest of the population is. Nevertheless, I shall persevere and endure.
I realized that my meager boot socks
and sweater pillows
that I upcycled from sweaters were not going to cut it in Etsy land.
SIDE NOTE: I never wore the sweater(s). Most of them I bought while I was pregnant thinking I would somehow give birth and magically become a size Triple Zero Extra Small.
So that's what size I bought.
Never worn, naturally.
Just thought you oughta know.
LIKE I WAS SAYING, though, my craftiness paled in comparison. I needed to up my game.
It started with fort kits (http://www.etsy.com/listing/87976214/fort-kit). These I found on another blog and borrowed. It's not stealing if it's on the internet, right? Right? I wouldn't say they are going like hot cakes, more like the syrup that comes with the hot cakes. I've sold 2 in the 4 days they've been listed.
but it wasn't good enough.
I needed to be more Etsy-ing Fabulous!
Hello hair bows.
Even if these little delightful confections do nothing, teaching myself how to make them is going to save me a bundle - a heap - a ton of cash. I really love putting gigantic bows on my baby girls.
I really really do.
Hello, my name is Megan and I am addicted to hair bows.
Now I can make them, not buy them for $15 a pop (serious?) and Paul will stop shaking his head at me.
Maybe.
Ok, probably not. But it's a step in the right direction.
