Hello everyone! We survived #SeattleSnowmageddon2019 and eventually were able to dig ourselves out of our garage and driveway.

Ever fall out of love with what you're doing every day?
I think a lot of people do.
Am I speaking for myself?
Yes, some days.
When I started this blog back in 2010 I was DIY fresh-faced and fancy-free. I loved trying new things.

I don't know about you, but this time of year gets me feeling weird inside. Just like birthdays. Like clockwork, as the approach of a new year begins, my mind subconsciously starts reflecting on what I have accomplished thus far, and where I want my life to go. And that can be a good thing. But there's also the "what I didn't do's" and "is this really what I want's", and Shannon @FairfaceWashclothshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05802419492526806592noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1748639399801058264.post-81082931924823957092016-06-21T12:21:00.003-07:002023-07-07T15:12:28.025-07:00I can see why she wrote on the walls: they key to unlocking your creativity & productivity

Tips for selling online through etsy and website shops
I am often asked what it's like to be an Etsy seller, how I decided what to sell and what happened after I opened my shop doors.
I'm pretty much an open book, so in an effort to address many of those questions, I thought I'd share my perspective on what it's like to sell on Etsy and what has happened since I launched my first shop.
