Lovin' Etsy

I've been working on 3 little dolls for my Etsy store  http://www.etsy.com/shop/bittypiggies . This included making 6 sleeper because each 1/3 yard makes two sleepers, and why make up half the supplies I have on hand? But as I was knee deep in foot soles, I was really kicking myself. With the three dolls, that's 18 foot soles. sigh. Not my favorite part of any doll or outfit! But now I'm done and on the fingers and toes phase of the last doll.
So, here's why I LOVE Etsy: I logged on to Etsy to list the baby pictured above, and low and behold, I'd sold a doll that has been listed for over a year! What a nice surprise. Some things move super fast, others sit long enough waiting for just the right person and I start to doubt myself.
This little sale came right after a special order (which prompted the three dolls because I always do a small batch of them).
And I did make a profit this year! It was only $120, but it was my first profit in all the years of rubber stamping, sewing etc etc, so I'll take it.
A store stocked up on doll sleepers. Now that is progress!
