My Creative Space: Shop Update!

My creative space last night and today has been a-bustle with shop update preparations—finishing, packaging, photo shoots, photo sorting and editing, writing….

Photo Shoot

Photo Edit

Listing

I’ve got four sets of pretty sewing pins and a new redwork embroidery to list, along with some 5×7″ prints of my sewing pin photos. How’s that for productive? (For me, at least!) I’ll be headed over to Etsy to start making listings as soon as I click “publish” on this post.

For more creative spaces, visit Kirsty at kootoyoo.

(Oh, and for those of you who asked, I will be selling sets of postcards with the pin photos as well. Just have to wait for them to be printed and sent to me!)

    Again, those pins are awesome! I think it is a great idea to make the photos into postcards. I’ve been meaning to do that with some of my photos and sell them in my shop…yet another thing I haven’t gotten around to :) I have a feeling those pins are going to be a great seller. Best of luck!

    Found you through creative spaces and I know that I was surprised how long it really takes to list an item – everything that goes into it! Your photographs are beautiful – definitely great job in displaying your lovely work.

    It is great on those days when you just check off one thing after the other on the list isn’t it?! Great that you are getting so much done and listing your pretty things. I think the postcards are a wonderful idea. I should do that with my dolls. Hmmm…
