Sew Here Are The Numbers

Dorky title huh? I know :)

Well as my readers know, not because I posted about this but because my one reader is Emily and she and I text like mad, any way as my readers know, yesterday was our first Showcase.

Showcase, on Etsy, is for you to show off a particular item in hopes of bringing more people to your site, more views and more sales. How did we do?

First of all the Showcased Item---> This is Claire, Fri night she had 12 hits. This morning 33.

Lorelai! Had 13 views Friday night and 16 views this morning .

Bekah! Had 9 view Fri night and 13 this morning.

As for mine and Emily's bags

-----------------------------Fri-------Sun

Pink-------------------------13-------14

Wild-------------------------4---------6

Scissors---------------------N/A------6

Dinosaurs------------------ N/A------7

Total Sales: 0

My goal in this endeavor is to never be discouraged. Emily and I are living our dream and we are only just beginning. This was our first attempt at minor league advertising and it did get us some hits, and that's good. This was under the Holiday showcase. In a couple of weeks we will be putting on a Clothing showcase. Very exciting because we will have the opportunity to compare and contrast! lol.

See you around. I still have to tell you all about the house hunting adventures from yesterday.

And Again With The Updating and Posting!

Go me! I'm afraidmy second bag wont be ready to be listed by tomorrow. Oh well. We'll see what comes of this all. So exciting :)

Its 9 am, how much have you done?

Good morning!

I think it is pretty wicked that SYTYCD on Thursdays is only one hour and waits to start until 9 to start. Twelve hours ago I was tracing sewing patterns onto wrapping saying "finally!" I should think that if the show starts @8 on Wednesdays for the 2 hrs it should start @8 on Thursday too!!. It forced me to stay up late again and boy was it hard to get up and run this morning! But I did it so, go me! I think the other members of team long tie would be proud of me :)

So I've been up since 5 (quarter to actually, Brett couldn't wait any longer before calling me) and what have I done?
5:15 Went run run run with my running buddies
5:45 Dawdled around talking before going home
6:15 Showered and ate pre breakfast (water and a granola bar)
6:30 Started sewing
7:30 Lorelai woke up so I removed her from bed and took time to snuggle my half asleep baby
7:45 Threw Desmond on the bus
7:50 Made and ate Breakfast with my favorite wee one
8:00 Went back to sewing
8:45 Finished super awesome sewing.
8:57 Started blogging :)

So here I am. Finished a shirt this morning, yeah I pretty much rock. For now I'm done sewing until Lorelai goes down to nap. I'm going to take the time to play with the midge and let her help me pick up the house a bit; good times. Then at 3 o'clock a photo shoot! One of my friends daughters is modeling the shirt I made this morning. Should be fun. I'll let you know how it goes.

SYTYCD

Go team long tie!

Its crazy!

Oh my goodness!

Seriously, it was as innocent as a text message.
Em Txts: Hey, if I find a craft fair would you be interested in sharing a booth?
Me: Heck yes!

Thats all it took, now I'm looking up all possible fairs and filling in a sellers permit form. That form is its own special breed of crazy but if we make it to the fair it should be tons of fun! I hope so!

The crazy thing is sewing up myself an inventory. This particular fair requires photos of your inventory 4 mos in advance, sooo intense.
What do I want to sell?
Purses
Scripture Cases
Throw Pillows(?)
Peasant Blouses and Skirts (kids&baby)
Onsie Dresses(?)
Baby Blankets
My brain is blanking. there may be more I just can't think of it.

What other stuff are we going to need?
Labels for all of our items
Ways to display them
Blanking again, it took me over an hour to fall asleep last night thinking about all this. I'm going to go play with my baby that should help me clear my head.

BTW:I've added a new item to mine and ems Etsy store you can view it here:
