Hello everyone.
I've been here on etsy for a since 2008. However my shop sat as I pondered what to do with it. for nearly two years.
I began to get serious around 2010/11. I had some bad experiences of some crochet editors taking my new designs and publishing them in magazines, and since than was very reluctant to add new crochet patterns to etsy. It literally bothered me that much that my hard work and patterns could be swiped that easy. I think I may have developed an attitude that hurt me more than anyone else. My business hasn't grown as it should have as a result.
Now I've decided to continue to move forward, and try not to worry about if others will try to copy or publish my works, and just try to keep creating for that is what I love to do.
I would love shop followers,and shop support.
If you have constructive critiques to offer, I'm open to hear suggestions.
Thank you all very much!
HanieB.
