What's it like becoming an Etsy-ian you wonder? This last year has been jammed packed full of research, photography, scanning, planning, writing, juggling, making product, studing analytics, blogging, FB, editing, chatting, treasuring, hearting and more.

Then you sit back and analyze what you've done and wonder is this what the "Customer(s) want"? Unfortunately, there's no way to know until that order appears out of the mist!

I don't see trading in all this fun quite yet, I'm sure there are many more blogs and websites I can join or learn to use. Then there's the little detail of buying a new camera so all the pictures on Pamela's Patterns and The Pink Toadstool can be re-re-redone. All the while thinking what will I make today?
