Today I listed a few new items in My Etsy Shop and tweeted them.  Hoping to get some sales this week.  I need to start making sales or I'm going to go broke listing, lol.

No sales on Etsy still...I've done everything to correct my listings and the views are up thanks to my twitter account but no takers on my pretty jewelry pieces.  It is frustrating but hopefully someday soon things will pick up and the art of tatting will not die.  It would be a shame to let something so beautiful die out.  I'd love to see the stars wearing something so delicate even if it isn't mine.

Im thinking of doing some crocheting to break the monotony.  I need some new fresh pieces to do and I think that may help.  Maybe some chokers and bracelets.  I dont know but for now its bedtime for me.  Nighty-night all and sleep well.

Trying to figure out what to do with this motif.  It isn't original but i can use it to make a piece that is not copying anyone else.  I'm thinking barefoot sandals.  Anyone have any ideas about other things I could do with it?
I have the purple/light purple hearts a plenty bracelet in the shop now and worked on more of the cuff bracelets in varying colors.

I had planned on working on something unique today, something of my own design, but somehow I just cannot figure out how to even get started.  I keep wanting to look at stuff online, more patterns.  I'm thinking that something online will give me an idea of where to get started.  This may take a few days to get inspired since I am used to working from other people's patterns.

This Heart bracelet/anklet is the only thing I've done on my own and it was an accident that I came across it.  Oh well, here's to more accidents becoming beautiful pieces lol.

I now have these in my Etsy shop and Ebay shop in pink/white and red/white.  I have to say, Etsy is a tough cookie to break into as there is soooo much tatting there and most of it is very high quality.  I consider mine to be a high quality too, but I've yet to get the views or orders to sustain me staying there for much longer.

Started on twitter today, hoping to get some followers soon so I can grow my business on Etsy and Ebay (knotguiltyred).  Ebay is doing a little business with one return customer but Etsy is seemingly a bust.  I haven't been at it very long but it is getting discouraging every day with no sales.
