March Discussion Thread

[#1]

Hey Guys!
Happy March 1!! So, at the begining of every month I'll start a new thread - otherwise the discussion threads get really really long if you don't close them off every once in a while!

So, I don't know if I mentioned this buy I'm expecting a new little baby girl this May!! I was hoping to go off work today but, of course, my OB thought that was a bit premature! Grrrrrrr...... oh well!!!

A couple things...
1) Rose - AWESOME JOB! I'm new to Etsy, but I imagine that over 500 views is a wonderful thing. I've had quite an increase in views for my medium baby letters since this treasury went out so THANK YOU!

2) WELCOME to our new team members!! As a friendly reminder to all on our team, please remember to FAVORITE each other's pages so that we can support one another.

Question for you guys...who here has worked with minky fabric? How do you finish off the edges when you're sewing with it?

[quiltsbykandy]

thebellefleur, I absolutely love your baby blanket organizing hanger. That is so smart. Very clever indeed.

Happy Friday everyone. Happy Sales!!!

SO i didn't mention it before but I also have a blog that I write on occasionally!! I don't do any self promotion on it for my shop - although I think for my next shop I'm going to do a post on our new team!!

Anyways, not a huge blog but I do have just over 180 followers on it. I just posted something about one of my favorite jewelry shops and I would love for you guys to come check it out and comment if you'd like!

Oh thebellefleur what a lovely blog. I enjoyed reading it. You did a wonderful feature on Bouvier Jewelry. I immediately fell in love with her "Sweet Pea - tiny ear studs," but after visiting her shop, I echo your sentiments. I loved every single item in her shop. Good job!!!

[Former_Member]

Jen - I think you definitely led with the right photo. This is a REALLY good idea. This would work really well for school age kids so they can have everything ready in the morning. Kudos!

Wow! Can I just say that this must be the most supportive, relevant team I've joined!! Thank you so much for having me! I won't be a mom, alas....but I am the Aunt that spoils♡ I'm catching up on the thread this month and adding the team tag to my shop. I hope to get a treasury out a week, and every week featuring all you wonderful creatives here.

My mom and I are affectionately sweatshop one and two. After a health scare this last summer, it is a great way to spend time together! My house looks as though a craft store imploded, and my husband is very understanding thus far. He may draw the line at modeling the flower halos...

Great to be here. Thanks again!

Hortense, your stuffed animals are adorable. If I had a little one, I would shop with you. Welcome to the team!
