500 views and Etsy milestones!

This week in the TempaK Etsy store features three significant milestones:

500+ viewers to my Etsy store!

AND...

My first sale!

... albeit the least expensive item in my entire store, but hey! Gotta start somewhere!

AND for the third milestone...

I've been added to two "Treasury lists" on Etsy! Treasury lists are groups of items that people put together to show products that they love.

You can see them here and here.

What else would YOU like to see in my Etsy store?

Etsy!

My ETSY site is up and has enough products that I think I can more directly advertise it!

The next item that I will be posting is a 12"x12" pillow made beautifully with this fabric:

(I will post the product once I can re-charge my camera battery to take the pictures of it! Ah!)

A pretty pillow!

My latest crafty venture is to make pillows. Not only pillows, but NICE pillows. Most often these pillows are made out of Remnants I find at fancy stores here in town, but also sometimes made of prints that I just love. I found a 14"x28" pillow and thought it may be a fun size for my first fancy pillow. Below is the final product. Please excuse the floor shots - I don't have any bedding that would be appropriate to show off this specific pillow.

The pillows I had made before this one all included zippers. This time, I decided to mirror some of the pillows I saw at the fancy shmancy Richmond designer store Williams & Sherrill, by using a folded insert pillow back, instead of zippers at the bottom seam. This was a great idea, and turned out to be a) easier to make and b) very professional looking, EXCEPT that on my first try, I accidentally did one half of the pillow back upside down. I guess this means I'll just have to keep this pillow and not sell it! :)

More pillow photos to come soon, as I made 3 pillows last night that all match, that I am thinking of selling on my Etsy store as a set. What do you think? Should I add buttons to the back of these, or keep them as simply folded-over-parts?
