Dear friends,                  Sorry I have been MIA for weeks. Too busy to blog! Shocking ,really!!!  I have been working on some new designs for my spring collection and Cloth Paper Scissors have invited me to contribute to their autumn 2011 supplement. This is new ground as I have not designed exclusively for a magazine before. It has thrown up many challenges. As I am still relatively new to

Hello to all Etsy Team Cymru. I hope you don't mind that I have uploaded a banner. Its from one of my photos of Pembroke Castle and I thought it would be nice to have the Welsh Flag on the banner. The photo above is just a random picture at Cardiff Central, because I don't like blog posts without an image.I did put an introduction on here about myself but something funny is going on with posts

Hi again-As a new Etsian I was hoping to hear how other members of Team Cymru draw potential customers to their shop. I have used the showcase tool once before and it directed lots of people to my shop for that day but the flow soon tailed off. Do you guys use the showcase on a regular basis or use personal blogs etc to direct people to your shops?Any thoughts welcome!Ta!

My name is Freya (aka Arianwen) and while I'm new to Etsy, I'm really not new to crafting! Ever since I was little, my Mum encouraged me to craft, paint and draw, and it's something that has definately stuck with me (I'm 22 next month!). I love to make jewellery and work with textiles - when I sat my art A-Level most of my finished pieces were fabric items, be it clothing or soft sculpture. In

Hi All - just to say thank you for inviting me to join. However - it has taken me about a week to get to grips with trying to post anything on this blog - but finally managed it!Just before I go off to school - thankfully only part time now - I thought I'd try to post something. I have recently put some stuff on etsy to sell - but I cannot say that I am an avid seller. I did well in the beginning

Hi!  PinkieKinch here.  I've been away for a few days in the Cotswolds and West Sussex seeing friends and family.  We had a really lovely time and our little dog Jacob was very patient, even in the HOT weather.  We got back yesterday afternoon and he took to our bed from then on.  I think he was a little shaken with all the motor way traveling in our little red postman pat van ( Vauxhall Agilia).
