My sewing projects for this weekend

Hey there everyone!

Hope you are all having a good weekend.

I have been sewing a little this weekend, and just wanted to share some of my plushies that I made. I can't decide whether to keep them or sell them. What do you think??

Weekend, Weekend...you go by so fast

This weekend is already flying by. I am trying to make tons of new things for my shop!

I really wish the economy wasn't so horrible right now. I would love to be able to do etsy full time. I am looking right now at trademarks and all that good stuff (which is super confusing).

I am thinking of starting a contest. I have all sorts of goodies that I never renewed on etsy that I can use for prizes. I think tomorrow I will make a final decision and post more info.

I am also looking into doing craft shows. It's hard, here, though, because it's so darn hot! There are a lot of shows up north, but it's hard to figure out what exactly you have to do to sign up. I will keep trying to figure it all out, though. It definitely doesn't seem like it will be cheap.

Today I have been working on some floral wrist pincushions. I just have to buy some more velcro to finish them up!

Got a Mailing List?

I just created a mailing list and I would LOVE to add some people to it!

The mailing list will be used to:
*Send you updates when batches of new items are added
*Send you special, mailing list subscriber ONLY deals
*Notify you when there is a sale in my shop
*And other general news

It will be sent out once a week to every other week.

If you prefer snail mail, please email me with your mailing address. This is a fun option because I can send you promo items and coupons for other awesome etsy shops. (If you are a shop who wants to send me some promos to include for my subscribers, please email me as well).

Please visit my contact page on my website for information on how to join the list or contact me about promos!

Thanks so much!

Birdwatching's Etsy Shop Goes Multilingual!

I was sitting here watching an informercial that I had seen before...only this time it was in Spanish. It got me thinking, it must really help to put out your information in multiple languages for them to make a whole new commercial to appeal to Spanish-speakers.

So, I visited iGoogle, and to the best of my ability, started translating some of my shop info into Spanish and French (the two languages most spoken, besides English, by my customer base). I am interested to see if it help with sales any, or if they stay the same. I figured I may as well give it a shot. Can't hurt!

Here is a look at my shop now (please click image to enlarge) :

Another Front Page!

Browsing the treasury, I found out I was in another front page treasury! Take a look! How exciting!


Sometime this week I hope to put new items in my shop. I haven't really been adding new things lately, and my sales reflect it. Keep your eyes open, though...this week I am going to try and add a few new items!

Big Week for BirdWatching!

Wow! This week has been kind of big for BirdWatching Designs!

I received a 1 minute radio mention on KEZ 99.9 in Phoenix! Please visit my website to take a listen!

BirdWatching Designs Announcements: Radio Mention

Also, I was invited to sell at a four-day bird-watching festival in April! The lady who runs the festival got my web address from a friend and really wants me to sell at it. I got the official application so I might be doing that!

Not sure if I am going to be able to make it to the Artist Market this weekend. I really want to go because it's supposed to be pretty busy...but it's supposed to rain and be cold, and my back is hurting. They announced I'd be there on the radio so I kinda feel like I should. We'll see how it looks tomorrow.

I have one more custom owl to finish and then I can go back to making new things for my shops. Sales were great the past week or two and have sorta slowed down now. I am hoping some new items might make things pick back up. We shall see!

Well, I am getting tired. I should probably head to bed! Good night!
