Bite The Bullet

So, today I bit the bullet. 

I listed not just one, but 4 of my handmade items on Etsy.  My stomach is in a knot.  I don't know if I've priced them too high or not high enough.  I don't even know if I've done this right, because two of my items aren't even viewable, whether you search for them by name or just in general.   Maybe the Etsy staff has to review each submission before it's actually posted?  I know that sooner or later I'll be an old hand at all of this and laugh at this blog entry, but right now I can't find the humor. 

Along with the Flutterby Butterfly quilt above, I listed this little Granny Square baby afghan.  With the extra yarn, I made two matching little baby hats. 

I'm running out of space in the sewing room, so I've decided to share some of my goodies.  The yarn stash is the first to go, since technically I'm not supposed to be doing crochet anymore.  (Carpal tunnel=ouch!)  While I was digging and sorting, I found these little dish rags.  I have a closet full of them because these are my "taste testers", to see if I actually like a stitch before I go whole hog into a big project. 

Then there is the super soft pastel baby afghan.  I love pastels!  Hopefully, someone else out there loves them, too!  :)  I'd really love to put a little more money in the piggy bank towards my quilting frame.  Wish me luck and stop by SugarTreeStitching on Etsy if you get a few minutes.  I sure hope my butteflies fly away soon! 

Happy Sewing~Happy Friday!

11 Sept 2011 Update- The Flutterby Butterfly quilt sold yesterday afternoon!  I'm stunned that it sold so quickly and very happy that someone out in the big wide world liked my work enough to buy it.  Thank you to the sweet lady in Tennessee.  I hope you love your new quilt as much as I loved making it!
