After much ado today, I FINALLY got my etsy shop up and running. 
Yeah!
It is a super-cool way to buy/sell all things handmade. On Etsy, pronounced like Betsy without the B, you can search for local things to buy or national or international, but the basic premise is that they are handmade. Nifty huh?
Today was the day for me to take photos of some of my things (Yes, even at -20 degrees I went outside for the photos) and to figure out how posting them works. So I am anxious for you all to check it out and give me some feedback. Good/Bad/Indifferent. I will be posting more items in the store as the week runs on too. This week is so busy and it hasn’t even started yet.
The sewing jobs are rolling in thank goodness, so maybe there is potential to change things again and work from home AGAIN! Maybe if I was recieving health benefits at my ‘real’ job that would make a difference. You think? Nope, me either…

Yeah, Janie!
I love the pictures of the bags outside on the snow-kissed tree! Now that I’ve seen them, I’m reminded that heavy duty totes for guilt-free grocery shopping would be great . . .the ones the local grocery stores are offering don’t exactly bring joy to my heart in a grocery cart! I do like the flat bottoms though, as it’s easier to pack things in than my other ones. Any chance you’ll have some of that kind of design available? I’m all with Al Gore saving the world, but the guilt of those plastic ones is what’s really getting to me! Surely, I can save the “grocery world” with a little style and class? HELP!

Hey…love the pictures. Good idea to take some pictures in the snow. The only idea I had was whether or not you should put some dimensions of the bags in — to give folks an idea of how large/small they are. Wish I was there to help you sew some things up!
Love, Mom

Your shop and items look great–good luck with the online venue! I can relate to your dreams and late night ruminations. I’ve decided it’s a disorder shared by those of us who can’t remember that time is limited, but imagination is not. I’m always amazed at how much creative people can accomplish, however, and without sleep! It’s nice to work at home and still be able to network with other creative souls, so we’ll have to keep in touch!
