You are so ambitious. Wish I had your drive to take on each and every holiday and make such cute items.
I don't make anything special for any holiday other than Christmas. I'm limited to where I can sell and would probably end up with stock I didn't need. I need to open a little stand on the corner, like years ago when kids did a Koolaid stand, and sell my crafts..lol
Was the Etsy exposure the other day on Martha Stewart's program in your favor?

Crafting keeps me busy on the weekends when it's just a bit too cold to go outside (plus I have a couple of craft shows looming on the horizon and I need to build up inventory)
As far as Etsy went on Friday...it was a promoting madhouse...lol. The way the Etsy segment went, if I had been watching the show, I'd have gone to check out the site to see if I could open a store, rather then go as a buyer.
I did get a custom order though, so it wasn't a waste of time.

Very cool! Maybe we'll get to see a picture when it's done??? I so love looking at other's creations. I think that's a fun part of crafting.
Thanks for the response!

Thanks for reminding me that it's coming. I have 2 St. Pat's birthdays and a box full of decorations that were my Moms that I want to put up. I'm not very creative any more so I won't be making anything crafty myself.

I have actually not been feeling very creative lately. I don't know what is going on, but I haven't done much of anything creative lately. Guess I'm just in a bit of a funk. Maybe I'll put on my beaded necklaces from last year and try to find some inspiration. I'll get back to you.

I went through something like that right after the holidays. I was kind of burned-out from the shows, the custom gift-making and promoting on Etsy. Then Jan and Feb sales were way better than I could have expected and I was "forced" to craft just to keep my inventory levels up.
I find that I'm much more creative when it's sunny out, even in spite of the cold weather. Today, my hubby even braved a brutal west wind and went beachcombing this morning and brought back a lime colored piece of glass and several nice pieces I can use for future creations. I made several pairs of earrings and another bracelet.
