Well congrats to me.

I made it to 500 hearts today! (503 in total).
What I did was hang out in the Chatroom and Forums in Etsy. :D
That's the best advertisement, I swear!

503 hearts

I also have 8 different item hearts, which is awesome!

I just hope some people are looking towards my stuff for Christmas ;)

New this week:

Helpful things to use.

Google Reader?
Do you use Google Reader?
Google Reader is a way to keep up with everyone's blog. This could help you snag that special blog deal, or read up on some really helpful tips.

There are other ways to use Google Reader. You could use it to keep up with Etsy Alchemy.
This way, you are updated on Alchemy whenever someone posts a request. I keep up with the Storque on my feeds, and alchemy. How do you add a feed?
This is usually indicated by an orange button that looks like this:



Click it, select 'Google Reader' and it's added.

Email updates:
If you use FireFox, you can add a notifier to popup when you have an email. I use one for my Yahoo! mail to notify me every 5 minutes of any incoming emails. The mail button turns orange and makes a noise, which you can turn off, or change the noise.


TwitterFox:

Do you use twitter and have FireFox? TwitterFox is a FireFox extension which updates you about incoming Twitterers' tweets however so often you calibrate the notifier for. This helps with staying up to date, but not having to stay on the site 24/7.


That's all my tips for now!

Updating!

Just updating from my long hiatus from blogging here :)
If you'd like quicker updates, look for me on twitter!!

I made a few sales this month, which makes me very happy :D
I listed a few things, worked really hard on trying to get myself out there.

Here's my list of places I know I got a sale from:

Twitter
DeviantArt
Etsy Forums

So, some things work, others don't. My advice, is to try a little bit of everything, because I hear people get a lot of sales from places I don't see me ever getting sales from. The key is just trying. Try to get your name out there as far as you can. :)


New things on Etsy:

















I know, too much :P

I also had a custom order for a brooch that I really like:

It has been almost a whole month.

It's been about a month since I last updated. Since then, I have had one sale. Good enough :) They'll come slowly.
I've added some more hair clips, as usual. I also added a photograph of a carnation.

Just some updates!

I was featured in a treasury!!



Thank you so much hiddentreasure!!


I also put up a new hair clip:

Shelter in the Rain

I made a cute little print this time, of a mouse holding a mushroom :D I thought it would be really fun to do, and I'm happy how it came out!!
