Good Fuzzies Gone Bad!!

My dear, sweet, adorable little dog Maggie committed a heinous crime last night!! Maggie has a liking for picking up socks and tank tops from the laundry pile and carrying them around in her mouth. Usually it's just socks.

I put a lot of things on the floor: books, headsets, clothes, papers, etc...I had my box of Fuzzies on the office floor, not thinking much of it. Five minutes later, I heard my husband cry out, "Oh-no! Maggie," and then to me, "I have some bad news for you." He brought over something in his closed hand. He opened it to reveal, to my horror, my Blue Bear Fuzzy (see last post) all chewed and mangled up!! ARGH!!!

I took the posting off of Etsy until I make a new one. So sad. RIP Blue-Bear-E #1.

The lesson of the day: Do not put Fuzzies on Floor, and don't be fooled by Maggie's innocent, adorable, lovable face!!!

New Years Resolution #1: Post 1 New Item once a Day in January

I'm going to try to post more often, so I'm going to see if I can hold myself to posting one item a day in the month of January. So far so good!!

I'm also going top work on getting different types of creatures in my shop other than dogs!! So far I have posted a cat, a tiger, and a bear! I have a monkey in the works...

Another Shop Critique!

So after the last shop critique that I had about a month ago, I decided to get another one. The reviewers on Etsy remembered me right away, which I'm not sure is a good or bad thing. Overall, they didn't have too much to comment on my shop. The only comments they had left were:

1) Shorten the item descriptions so that they can be easily scanned by the reader
2) Post items more often to get more exposure!!

Number 1 was easy.

Number 2 will be a little more challenging...

Happy New Year Everyone!!

Phew! Now that the holidays are over, it's time to kick off the new year with a bang!! 2009 will be an interesting year with the economy being the way it is, and since I probably won't be going out much to spend money, I can make more Fuzzies! YAY! Hope everyone has a wonderful, prosperous New Year!

Letterboxers in the House!!

I'm going to a letterbox gathering on 12/20. For those of you who don't know what letterboxing is, it's a hobby that combines treasure hunting with handmade stamps and cool places! You can read more about it at http://www.letterboxing.org. Anyhow, I was looking at the list of attendees and I noticed that one of the attendees was a fellow etsian!

So I sent her a quick little note. Ended up she was nice enough to buy an item from me! You can check out her store at: http://www.m0llykate.etsy.com. She has some really cute jewelry in there! She says Trek looks just like her new dog! They'll be using it as a Christmas ornament too!
