After a few months on Etsy, I decided to clear out some of the items in my shop. I only kept items which were available in several sizes and discarded the items only available in one size. I added a couple of hats to my shop, which were really fun to make. I haven't created any new items recently because I am working on a new concept. And that is, I want to create a basic clothing line for children. I want to have in my shop all the basic wardrobe pieces necessary for a child to go about her…

Halloween and Christmas

So, we all know Halloween is just around the corner, but before I could even get started on my kids Halloween costumes, I got a big Christmas order (hooray!). So, I've been working simultaneously on Halloween and Christmas items. I want to get some Christmas stuff in my shop, but have been so busy. I finished the kids Halloween costumes.
