I’ve been stitching since I was 6 years old.  On my 16th birthday I got my own sewing machine which I still have.  
I had people all around me encourage me to open the Etsy shop.  I read as much as I could and after repeated inquiries from friends, I opened the shop.  
And then I found out what really happens and what it takes.

Had I known, I probably would not have followed through.  Now that I’m here, I’m giving it as much as I can.  1/3 of my time to making high quality products, 1/3 to selling them and 1/3 to marketing. It’s a lot work with so little return.  But a brick and mortar shop would be even harder!! 

[MikeKrausArt]

@FromBonniesStash Keep doing what you're doing.  Things do pick up this time of year as people do a "spring refresh" of their homes.  But 75-80% of all sales happen during the holiday season (October - December).  So, making and adding new items is the focus for much of the year.  Marketing and selling is the focus in the last quarter of the year.

WOW. It's a lot of excellent links here! Now I know where to dig the dipper. I am going to start right now. Thanks for inviting us again.

Nick.

[MikeKrausArt]

@ArtByElenaG So glad you're here.  We're all about helping people fulfill their dreams.

Hello all! My name is Brianna! I went to the university of Central Florida and got my Bachelors in Hospitality Management. Unfortunately I realized management in the hospitality field wasn’t for me but it awoken a new passion instead. My fiancé and I are a wonderful team and his business motivated me to start my own. I do 3D landscape designs for peoples homes! I just opened my shop this month and I nearly cried when I made my first sale! So happy and excited to start this journey and do what I love. I started doing 3D renderings when my fiancé asked for my help with his work load which I am tech savvy so naturally the 3D designs became my thing. We started in 2020 during Covid and now I’m branching off from his landscape company to do my designs as a stand alone entity! Thanks for making this page and sorry if Im a little delayed in introducing myself! Nice to meet you all!
