Christmas came out early...

I have decided to start working on some of the baskets that I am making for my two daughters classes for their Christmas parties. I have to make 40 of them so I always start them in August to have enough time to get them done and not have to rush. Here is a pic of the snowman one. I will make the soldier one tomorrow and post it. 

Website revisited

I set up a website on storenvy sometime last year and decided to open it back up. The thing is that I have to decide what items I want to put on there. I had several items on there but didn't do all of the advertising that I know how to do now. What do you all think? Would you check it out?

Been MIA...sorry about that!

I am so sorry I have been MIA for a while. I have been dealing with some issues in my personal life and needed a break. I have myself back together and have been looking at some new ideas for my plastic canvas crafts. Thinking about getting back into selling them when I get some things made up. I am looking at some little baskets to fill with candy for my girls' classes for their Christmas parties. I know it is only August and we are only a few days into the school year but this way I have plenty of time to make them because I am going to have to make 40 of them. I am also thinking about making a feta little baskets and fill them with some things from the dollar store and raffle them off. Just a few of the ideas that I am throwing around. Also want to make some ornament sets for Christmas. 

I am thinking about starting a Facebook page for the Crafty Goddess once I get some things made and sell them on there. Tons of ideas but yes I am awake enough to have written these things down. There are even some patterns for composition book covers, checkbook covers, and even some little things to put tissues in and put in your purse.

Well, that is about it for the night. I will try to write more tomorrow. Good night y'all and stay crafty.

Welcome Back!

Good evening my lovies! I know it has been a while but the Crafty Goddess is back in action. Took a little hiatus to get some things in order. Now that it is done I am back to creating new things. I have made party favors for a baby shower, a "It's a boy!" door hanger and a personalized name plate for a baby's room. All items were for customers. I have been looking at some other patterns that I am going to make and sell.

Here is my game plan. I am going to make several items that are large items to use as a display to show what I can make and make smaller items (like key chains, backpack buddies, etc) and it will be set up in a booth a our local flea market and even at some local crafts fairs. I will have this set up like what you see at home parties like Initials Inc, Scentsy and the Tupperware parties. I ev entually want to have my business turn into a home party company but I need to get it going first. I have had two orders since I opened it three weeks ago.

I have my fan page on Facebook but don't have a website set up yet. I am taking it one step at a time. I have 212 likes on my fan page as of 2/1/2013 so I am not doing too bad getting my name out there. I do have some other plans on what I am going to do. I am going to do a website up and then make fliers to hand out. Newsletters and even starting a mailing list. Those on the mailing list are the only ones that will have access to some of the specials that I will be offering.

Here is a picture of the door hanger. I can also make it pink and put "It's a girl!" on it. Please feel free to comment on this post to let me know what you think. :)

June 2012

Here I am realizing that it's been a while since I have written. I have been busy with everything with the kids and working on finding new patterns. I will post pics when I get things done but just wanted to check in.

Sock Monkey

Good evening Ladies. As you have probably already noticed, the title of this entry is Sock Monkey. The reason for this is that I am thinking about trying this little project. Has anyone tried this? It looks like it is not that hard to do. I am going this weekend to get a new sewing machine because the one that I had messed up from me using it so much. I am really excited about this. I am still doing plastic canvas and still have my website. I am ready to be a stay at home mom and stop being a temporary employee. I love doing my crafts and I love being at home with my kids. It felt good yesterday to be able to be at home with my daughter when she as sick but the only reason that I was able to stay home was because I had to call in because my van would not crank. I have been working on teacup keychains and next is the flip flop key chains. I will have these on my website once I get them done and sell them for $3 each. They will be good size. I am also working on some framed wall hangings. I will post pictures when I get them done. There is one of late NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt, one of a 9-11 tribute, and one of Elvis. These are just a few of them.

What do you ladies think? I have been getting lots of hits on my website but not many orders. Can you all check out the website and please tell me what could be done better?

January update

I have been looking lately into doing some craft fairs to get my name out there. I am working on more teacups because I got the idea to put them on ziplock bags with flip flop keyrings, a business card and an index card with an intro to me and my company. I will hand these out to the customers. I am also getting picture frames and putting wall hangings in them of Elvis, 9-11 and a few other things. I am also doing sports calendars and checkbook covers. I am even thinking about doing windmills of the different sports teams. I will post pics as I get them done. I am so excited. I have so many ideas but it seems like I can't get things done fast enough.
