So, a couple weeks ago I watched an episode of Studio5 –on KSL and got an idea to make purses from old wool sweaters and I wanted to try it. I dropped everything on slate for the day and packed my girls up to go to DI for some sweaters. I found two that I wanted and brought them home. If you know me at all, when I get an idea in my head I have to do it NOW and it has to get done NOW. All of my mothering and house-keeping responsibilities fly out the window and I go into “project mode”. It’s really sad. I need help.
And then I decide I want to try to sell them…
So since those first two sweaters, I drove all the way out to the Sandy DI to check out their inventory and got five more sweaters for $20. So, two weeks, 5 handbags, 2 pairs of wool baby shoes and an “Etsy shop” later, I have not sold anything and am OBSESSED with checking to see if people have looked at my items. I probably check my email and my shop 12 times a day! SERIOUSLY? Is that healthy?
If you know anything about Etsy, you know there are over 4,000 purses/handbags for sale and I really don’t have much of a chance…I’m not really in it for the money (money is nice, but not necessary at this point – I don’t want to stress out about it – but wait, I think I am anyway!) I just like to keep my hands busy.
I’m not begging for mercy or for you to be interested AT ALL in what I have in my Etsy, I jut wanted to get someone else hooked too.
Do you have an Etsy story?

Erin, I know nothing about ETSY, but your bags are SUPER cute. Maybe I need Aaron to get me one for valentines.
your bags are super cute! I love the red checkered one. And i really like the brown one with the pink flower too. How are you so creative and how can you make such cute things?!

I checked them out. Loved them :)! Those little shoes are so precious too! Good idea.
You crack me up! I feel your pain about getting an idea and having to do it NOW! Oh and your creativity and talent amaze me... teach me the way.
This is the first time I've heard of Etsy, I'll have to check your bags out. I know exactly what you mean about getting hooked on projects. I think for me it is healthy because I like to change thins up every once in a while.
