New Skirts Coming Soon!

So I have picked a few fabrics to start sewing with this week, I have a goal and I plan on taking pictures and putting them on etsy this weekend! I hope I can do it! Here are the ones I have picked...

A few Day of the Dead themed skirts!

I really like this fabric, I have made one already and I might keep it

The last 3 fabrics I am thinking to use all of these on one skirt! Pockets, ruffle on bottom??

This Friday 6/10/11

I suck at blogs! Well keeping up with it, I have been busy this year. But I am getting things back on track; I have made a lot more items (that I will be posting this weekend).

I have also started on a new venture. Me and a friend Melissa Ozuna started making Teepees for kids (and soon adults). They are cool and we have been getting a very good response from all over! We will be making our debut this Friday at the Etsy Craft Party at the DIY Factory! We also started a blog! www.littlefootteepees.blogspot.com

Hope to see some of you out there tomorrow; I will also be selling some skirts and accessories too!

This Weekend

Okay so my stuff went to Lone Star Round Up a few weeks ago and I sold 3 skirts and some accessories, made my money back on the booth and a small profit! I was happy with that. Now my stuff is going to the 3rd Annual Burnout in Houston this weekend! I hope I do great or about the same. I am trying very hard to make lots more skirts to add to my inventory but it looks like I am only going to get about 5.

I wish I was going but I have important things going on here in San Antonio like our 3rd year walking in the Koman Race for the Cure! WE have a total of 60 people on our team most are Familia! My mom is on her 3rd year from recovering from Breast Cancer. If you are reading this and would like to make a donation to our team please click here! We are very excited and we have some even cooler shirts to walk in! My great friend Melissa and her husband Chanse have a screen printing business and well their work is AWESOME. I will post a picture on Monday of our shirts but I can post a picture of our logo.

I woke up bright and early and went to my friend Missy’s house and dropped off my items for the Lone Star Round Up. We have been vending at this show for about 3 years or is it 4? I hope I sell a lot and people like my items; I made some new hair accessories with cover buttons. I really like them and I hope other people do too! So if you are in Austin this weekend go to the Lone Star Roundup! Wish I could be there but have commitments here in SA this weekend.

I also plan on making 5 skirts this weekend for our next show on May 15th! We just started another blog so go check it out! The DIY Dolls!

I still LOVE ETSY!

So I had my first bad experience on Etsy, I have been using etsy for hmm 2-3 years already and I will continue to shop and sell on etsy! First off there is a bad seller on etsy called PeppermintSoda, I have bought from her before and it was a nice experience but unfortunalty this time around I was jipped! And I was not the only one, I left negative feedback I emailed them, I sent them an email thru PayPal and still nothing like they just disappeared! But other buyers were buying from them everyday. I had a buyer contact me and she told me she has been talking to etsy support and I have been too and I don’t know how many other sellers contacted them but the next day they were not allowed to sale. I am still in the process of getting my $$ back but I still haven’t so people when you buy from etsy PLEASE look at their feedback even if you have to go thru pages of feedback! I have linked their shop and you can see all the feedback that they have now.

I had another first last week when someone bought a pair of frog earrings and they didn’t pay or anything I contacted them and still no response so I am going to cancel the sale but I went to their profile and saw a lot of negative feedback the strange thing is that they just wanted frog items! Weird!

Geez!

Okay so call me a slacker! Because I have totally neglected my blog! I am going to stay on top of it starting now! LOL well I won’t make any promises, so far this year has been okay. I sold 4 skirts on Etsy but I also had some trouble from a seller on Etsy (I will post about that one later). But Etsy has been good to me. I am sewing some new stuff and making some more earrings and hair clips. I am doing a bunch of car shows here in Texas with a group of awesome girls! The DIY Dolls just started a blog that lists all of our upcoming shows. So check it out! I will be posting pictures this weekend of some of my new items.

I'm Back!

Hello all! I am starting to get back in the swing of things and I plan on posting a lot more! My AWESOME Friend Erika made my banner and some new business card logos for my business. I am ready for a fresh start and I am excited! Erika is the best, check out her shop on Etsy http://www.erikabuentello.etsy.com/ She has some awesome paintings and other neato items.

Right now I am getting ready for Halloween I am making our costumes and they are going to be cool (I hope) I will post some pictures soon!! I am trying to sew up some new items for my shop and since winter is upon us I have some ideas for scarves so we will see how that works out. I am also planning on making some more earrings. I want to hurry and get some stuff up for the Christmas shoppers.
