So I am about to open my Etsy store. I am very nervous. I like to think my creations are the best but is hard to not be critical of myself. I keep having the thought that of course my friends love my stuff. That's why they're my friends, they encourage me and praise what I do. Then my brain tells me, but what if that's all it is they don't want to hurt my feelings so they tell me every thing is great. I know I'm being silly.
After years of people saying I should sell the stuff I make, I'm finally going to open an online store. I have no Idea of what I'm doing lol. I've ordered the packing supplies. Set up the Etsy account and Paypal. Written my store polices. Read book after book. I still feel those butterflies. Will I sell anything? Will they tell me my things are crap?
So now only a few weeks away from actually opening my store. I'm trying to decide what to sell. I originally wanted to start slow with only three items.
I have decided three items makes my store look empty so I upped it to twelve. So the design and craft frenzy begins. This is too much fun. Here is my Etsy store

Its understandable to feel that way about your stuff. "but this is easy to do! My friends are only being nice" but ill tell you what when I finally got to look at some of the things you are making on FB, I was so thrilled because it looks awesome! the "sweet" jewelry looks like something i would buy for myself or Eli. Don't sell yourself short, you are an amazing woman, a fantastic craftier and I am proud to be your friend.
