Thanks to TheresaJ for the great idea! Of course, this just might show how many people don't visit my blog :) You'll find my guest book at the bottom of the page!
Here's her site as well... http://theresaj.blogspot.com/
This weekend, a few fellow Etsy sellers will be displaying their goods at a booth during the Fremont Farmer's Market. I plan on going to give them some support and to scope it out for next time. I'd love to participate this weekend, but I'm just not prepared. While I have the inventory, I don't have the proper marketing items that would make it worth while. I have to have my business cards redone with the Etsy site address and it would be great to have a postcard or something to hand out that has a sample of the work on our site.
Anyhow, if you live in the Seattle area, stop by the booth! There are some very talented people and you won't be disappointed. Besides, it looks like lots of fun!
Here's one of the sellers that plans on being there. I love the designs and photos of Wiretree.
So, I'm working on merging my two websites. I am going to include all items on both sites, but send everyone to the Etsy site to buy. I think this will help me stay more organized and I'll be able to include more items on each site.
On Etsy again promoting my shop and checking out others... I came across this one. I think it's pretty cool. View Masters are timeless!

So, I finally finished the Daisy Garden Pixie skirt and tiara I've been working on. I just started it yesterday or the day before, but I was so inspired that I have been working on it every chance I get. I love it and my daughter likes it too!
My son's birthday is coming up in a few weeks and I've been considering different ideas for a present... but I always come back to dinosaurs. So, I thought I'd search Etsy to see what cool homemade stuff is out there... look what I found!
Brontosaurus
T Rex
Isabelisa's store even has beautiful butterflies!
Also in my search, I saw someone that had a dinsaur tail that's similar to one of my designs. But there are a few things that set mine apart, so I'll keep working on my own and see where it leads me.
I just posted the bib set (comes with 2 bibs and one burp rag) that coordinates with the Spring Sherbert Quilt Set. I love these because they aren't your typical girl colors. Check them out!
I have been very inspired by all the sites I've visited on Etsy while I have been promoting World of Whimm. But where do these people find time to not only spend hours a day on the computer promoting their site, but also the time to make the items they are promoting? I don't get it.
Today, my day has looked something like this... I got out of bed and saw my husband off to work. Then while the kids were finishing their marathon meal (breakfast), I sat down at the computer and responded to email. In the following serveral hours, I managed to promote the site for probably a total of half an hour. While my daughter slept, I worked on one of my latest pixie costumes. I think I managed to attach two sheets of tulle... not a whole lot. Now, she is awake. I am currently going between the computer and the table helping my son with a puzzle and holding my daughter while I type this blog.
Where do these people find the time?
Anyhow, I'll leave you with a link to one of my favorite sites so far. These intrigue me.
Stick on Butterflies
I've been at this for some time now; blogging, designing, creating, admiring... but never all in one place. Until now! I've recently started an Etsy site (http://www.worldofwhimm.etsy.com/) and I'm excited about my store and the whole Etsy community. If you haven't checked it out already, you should.
I hope to share all things creative that I am currently working on, thinking about, finishing. I'm hoping to share some of the cool items and stores that I come across in Etsy while marketing my site. I plan on sharing my experience with Etsy; the good, the bad and the boring.
Currently, we have two sites... and different items on each. I'll keep them both up until I determine which one works best for us. I might swap items between the two. If you haven't already, please... visit the sites.
http://www.worldofwhimm.com/ ~ this is our main site. I am currently not putting a whole lot of time on it, but hope to do so in the near future.
http://www.worldofwhimm.etsy.com/ ~ this is our new Etsy store. I am working on updating it every day or every two days. I am learning a lot about Etsy and they've given me many ideas for improving our site and the amount of traffic we get.
Okay, there you have it. The beginning of my new blog. Stay tuned and visit frequently!
