Etsy booth

It's been quiet around here. I have trouble keeping up with too many social media, and I've been on facebook a bit more lately.

You can follow Our Crafty Empire on facebook if you like.

We'll be running a booth at Etsy Made Local Malaysia tomorrow (Nov 13th). We'll have tie dye t-shirts aplenty.

The Craft Affair booth

My kids and I ran a booth at with a friend of ours at The Craft Affair this past weekend.  We had our usual bags.  We had crochet critters.  We also had lots and lots of tie dye t-shirts.  Lots of friends popped in to say hi.  All in all, a great weekend, though quite tiring.

100 Etsy posts

A few months ago, I decided to do 100 Etsy listings, as a way to expand my crafty horizons, along with my kids.  I just finished three listings, bringing my total to 100, just in time for 2016.  Yea!

There are the usual bags, and lace and bracelets.  I also listed some temari balls, just to add something new to the shop.

2015 has been an interesting year for Our Crafty Empire.  We've learned a lot, and actually sold stuff (which was quite surprising to me!).  I'm not sure what 2016 will bring, but I'm looking forward to more learning and making ahead.

Etsy week 17 and 18

Sigh, I didn't make it to 100 last month.  I made it to 90 though.  Here are the latest 10.

First, the colourful ones; an orange zipper bag and a bright blue finger puppet.

Some hand drawn zippered bags and bubble bags.

Etsy week 15 and 16

We were running a booth last weekend and as usual, that turned me into a semi-organized mess.  Thankfully, making stuff for running booths means I now have new stuff to list on Etsy.  I've got 80 listings at this point and I'm really hoping to wrap things up by end of month.  Here's the latest set of 10.

There is lace, in the form of collars and barefoot sandals.

There are little bags.

And a dragon and a braided bracelet to round things out.

Feet

I had a strange urge to make barefoot sandals this weekend.  I go barefoot any chance I get, so I love the idea of these sandals, but I admit, I'm too lazy to actually wear them often.

I'm going to list them in the Etsy shop but first I've got to figure out how to display them.  I'm not sure how I feel about photographing feet.  Maybe the little lady could be my foot model.
