I'm not done! @tanja-osswald was mentioned twice recently. The December 2015 newsletter from Patternfish (a PDF pattern-selling site based in Canada, excellent humans) mentioned another mitt pattern, Cranberry Mittens. It's a winner, Tanja!

Thanks again, Jill. Yes, I'll wait to see if I get some advice with respect to Shopify. I have looked at some other Captains' websites and some are using Shopify and they all look great.

If I choose that route (shopify), perhaps I can just start that up with new products as I have them, and slowly move out of Etsy……or not. I'm normally…[Read more]

Hi Tanja, thanks for your response. Yes, my shops are closed for a few days for inventory. I closed last night. But you can see the types of things I sell if you look in the “sales” section on the left. Originally ALL items from both shops were in the first shop. Busy. Disorganized.
My customers are great. Existing customers already know my…[Read more]

I cannot check out your shop since it is closed. But I have two questions:

I know it sounds like this would be an easy decision, but it is confusing to the buyer to have everything from hand dyed yarns to hand knit hats and scarves as well as project bags and buntings in the same shop.

Frankly, I don't understand this. Are your customers daft or…[Read more]

Ana, I feel your pain. I hate finding typos but they aren't deadly. There are never enough hours in the day. That is what I learned this year.

I would wait until next week when more people are engaged here–I don't use Shopify so I'm no help. I've been working on my website this past year and what I have learned is that you don't have to do it…[Read more]

Thanks, Jill. Yikes, those end of listings descriptions/information have been there forever, years, and clearly I have copied listings a zillion times without proofing the “bottom generic stuff” full of typos. Thanks so much for pointing them out and I'll fix them all right away. I cringed when I read that you found that, as I'm normally…[Read more]

Ana, this is my opinion. It is just that and I don't shop Etsy often so I could be totally off base.
I would make one shop. You have subpages, so why not have a front page with 3 or 4 representative photos, then subpages with types of items? That would be more appealing to me (I'm not a big clicker if I don't find what I want).

Now this is just…[Read more]

@jenn-lamb I'm leaving Monday so I won't get to see you in San Diego.

As to organizing. I read the Magic of Tidying, and let me tell you I have tried so many times to haul everything out and let go and I just get overwhelmed. I think the thing I took out of it was to get rid of what isn't speaking to your heart any more, and then I have modified…[Read more]

So uhm I LOVE this new space. So much prettier on the eyes + navigation!!

YAY for 2016!!

Whatcha workin on?
Year end numbers, reconnecting with friends/family/biz + cleaning/ organizing the studio. The holiday season was really rough. I never quite got ahead of my orders leading in and was BARELY holding on. Hermit time. Blinders up. BUT I…[Read more]
