I'm on etsy and wondered if anyone else that had used etsy or one of the other sites wanted to have a thread about it.

or I'll just hang around talking to myself....

I'm on Folksy and Etsy selling artwork, though haven't sold much on either - partly my own fault I think as I don't make the effort to promote sufficiently - also I'm struggling at present to find the time to make anything - all very frustrating!

How are all you crafters doing?

Big bombshells in my world so looks like DD and I will be moving back to UK.
I had wanted to spend Aug designing and making samples for Autumn/Winter but instead I am packing boxes.

But I've had a couple of sales so not all bad.

Does anyone do seasonal lines - Halloween, Chritmas etc? And if you do how long in advance to you plan?

Just had a quick look, can you search for example - for bags in the UK. I can search on all shops in UK but can't seem to find where you can search for an item in the UK. Thanks.

Great thanks, I really didn't want to look at over 5,000 pages!

Can anyone tell me, as a buyer on Etsy, can you search for only those items in the UK?

I have an etsy shop. here and have sold 22 items there which isn't alot but I don't craft for the money I craft for the love of crafting.. I have paintings, jewellery and sewn items in my shop. I did try Folksy but never sold a single thing on there so shut the shop and stuck with etsy. I would say I have gotten sales via my blog and twitter in equal measure.. oh and a sale through flickr too which I'm quite pleased about. I don't make a profit though all the moeny I make goes straight back into trying other crafts or getting new beads/fabric.

I'm on Folksy & have had a few sales (Izzy Wizzy Beads). I need to update though & add some more of my stuff.
Sadly my crafting has been a bit neglected of late - I spend most of my time on there, drooling over other crafty stuff - there are some very talented & original people out there!

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,

, type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,

, type [grin] or :o
For a wink,

, type [wink]
For a shocked face,

, type [shock]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
