My Growing Etsy Shop!

Well, my Etsy shop has now been open for about 8 months, and has been far more successful than I thought it would be. It started out slowly, but I had 45 orders (and about 55 items) by the end of 2012! In addition, I sold 4 hats to people who lived close enough to pay me directly, so those orders didn't go through Etsy. All in all, I'd say that was a pretty successful year! And I've already had 4 sales in 2013 -- two hats, a pattern, and baby blessing sandals. I expect things will slow down now that the holidays are over, so it's time to focus on getting this blog up to date and rewriting all my patterns (my laptop where I had all of them was stolen while we were on vacation). I should probably also start thinking about some spring and summer items, since most of what I have are hats. Any suggestions?
