Weekly Etsy 2

We made it through another week of Etsy postings.  I had help from the little guy for writing the listings, so, some of the listings have descriptions like goofy, or red-eyed.  That's the fun part of having a little guy on your copy writing team!

Tie dye

Last week the kids did some tie dying.  It took a while to get a picture because we kept wearing the shirts and putting them in the laundry.  We didn't do a perfect job getting the dye through all the layers, but we all got comfortable shirts to wear.  In my book, that's a success!

Weekly Etsy

I've had a token Etsy shop for a long time, but earlier this year, the kids decided to get involved.  I still make most of the things in it, but the kiddos help with taking pictures and writing listings.

We decided to challenge ourselves and do 100 Etsy listings.  Originally I thought to list once a day, but in the end, I thought 5 listings a week was more realistic.  The goal is to learn.  So I'm trying not to worry about taking perfect pictures or perfectly worded, perfectly spelled listings.  Here are the 5 from last week.

Baked mermaid

The little lady made mermaid bread.  The little guy and I made the bread dough with lots and lots of chocolate buttons and chocolate chips.  We made normal rolls but the little lady turned her portion into a mermaid.

Here are the little lady's comments:

"I made this bread just because I felt like it.  I took some of the chocolate buttons and used them as shells and if you look very closely, there is a walnut for her crown.  I ate the bottom tail, but then I felt so full I stopped."
