So lately I have been busy trying to get my little shop going! I am so excited to be able to have so many resources available today to make this happen. This last week I have been making some new inventory new designs and working on packaging. I have been working on opening my shop and decided it would be when my business cards get here in the mail so then I can include them in orders, and it would also give me enough time to get things ready. I have been taking photos uploading and coming up with descriptions and prices. Starting more social networking sites so I can find my spot in the hand making community and network. On top of the balance of housework. But I am loving the adventure in this and still and managing to keep organized. I have even expanded my work space
So as far as the resources I mentioned above there are so many! Like http://pinterest.com/ I have gotten so many good ideas as far as style, inspiration, packaging I love it! The blogger community has also gotten so much bigger and connected, I love reading and getting inspired by others in the handmade world. It also saddens me though because many of the people I followed had stop blogging but I am open to start following new writers! There is Instagram which I have been able to follow and network with some talented people.And Etsy! can I just say I love http://www.etsy.com/ I love the amazing stuff on there and the creativity of it all but most important it has given me a chance and a stepping stone to my dreams. But the best one I have to say is my Hubby he has encouraged me, supported me, and cheers for me everyday.
Oh and this book I stumbled across is just so good! I am still in the process of reading it but It's already given me so much information knowledge in the handmade business world, paired to with a good coffee it works wonders
