After about three years of telling myself that I was going to put an Etsy shop together, I finally broke down and did it. Woohoo! (Okay, the last vow was to do it this past winter. I got close; it went up the first day of spring, which is still practically winter in a lot of the country.)
You’ll find the shop at: https://www.etsy.com/shop/HighonHooking. Now, no sniggers. I know it’s still just an itty bitty shop with – at the moment – two listings. But everyone’s got to start somewhere. And not only did I have to figure out all that was involved with the shop and creating listings and taking pics, I had to do some updating of the website here, so that things would match. Okay too, maybe I hadn’t taken care of the Gallery in a while. Maybe some of those items were sold last year. But it’s better now. Not perfect; I’ll work more on completing the website after the Etsy show has a little more…heft.
So, spread the news! You might want to add that I’ll be adding more rugs to the shop on a regular basis. If you have any ideas of how to make it a more inviting shop, give me a yell. I’m happy to get advice, especially if you already have your own Etsy shop. And if you do have a rug hooking ETSY shop, feel free to share the address below in the comments. Later I’ll transfer the info onto the “Cool Resources” page.
To those who celebrate as I do, have a
joyful Easter surrounded by friends and family!
Congratulations on the shop. You’ve done much since moving to NM. I’m finally leaving the Cape. Sad leaving but looking forward to new adventures in Pgh. Good luck with this endeavor.
Thanks! But when are you moving???
There’s always an exception to every rule and I am it. I do like whipping! And binding quilts. It’s the end and I love tidying up the messy edges…. ;-D
Good for you! I still have not done one, obviously. I am sure that I will need advice when I start. When I finally get to it, I am going to have to work on Peter to get a tax #. He is against that idea. I will be teaching two quilting workshops this Summer and I am excited! I hope there are interested people so that I can continue – I’d really like to teach a 6 week class…
Cleaning and organizing is almost done for the weekend guests. Hope you have a good weekend too!
Thank goodness someone likes it! 🙂
The tax number is no big thing. Back in Mass I got the federal EINECS number which helped me get the state one. Here in NM I use my SSN. The state’s really just interested in making sure that you collect sales tax (or in NM parlance: the gross receipts tax). Income goes through our regular tax return. I don’t make enough to bother doing anything else. Now when I become rich and famous…
