Perfectly slow
Since summer began my Etsy shop has gone perfectly slow. I've only had a handful of sales in the last month but it has been such a blessing.
As soon as I hit 6 weeks with this pregnancy I was sick. And then it just became progressively worse each week. I honestly had no desire to work.....on anything. Not even checking blogs or writing emails. I was so out of touch, I felt.
But when I did receive orders I mustered up the desire and energy to complete them. In one weekend, I had 3 separate orders, one to Scotland even! I made 200 cupcake flags!! That's a lot of flags. I also thought of a new way to package them. With all my orders, I package them in pretty tissue paper and tie them with string. Then I realized I should add an additional little flag for an extra touch. Wouldn't you love to receive this in the mail?
It's starting to come back to me as I feel better. I have some great ideas coming soon! And shop announcement: I will be closing from July 22-26th and again from August 7-15th for personal reasons and vacation. Wahoo!

ReplyDeleteCongrats on the pregnancy!! If you come into town let me know, Chris asks me at least once a week when he can play with Sammy. He doesn't quite get it that you have moved:(
