This past week I poured a lot of time and energy into getting my Etsy shop up and running. It has been challenging but has also been really good. I spent very little time on Instagram and just getting that break was a rewarding achievement.

Having this creative spark ignited again has helped me so much. I’ve had ups and downs this week but nothing has affected me as it would have done before.

Setting up my Etsy shop had its ups and downs. There were a few setbacks and a time where I was giving up forever. Obviously, I did not give up and I am proud of myself for doing it.

The first setback was that Emma’s Fine Designs was already the name of an Etsy shop. I had planned to set up my shop a few weeks ago and because of this, I put it on hold. I didn’t know what name I was going to use but I knew I didn’t want to change everything. Luckily, I didn’t have to change everything and Emma’s Fine Crafts was available.

As I am a mother of 3 small children (4, 2, & 7 months), I am fairly busy throughout the day. I decided I would start selling my Halloween range and take it from there.

There are 7 listings in my Halloween range:

• Handmade Knitted Bat-Mobile
• Handmade Knitted Pumpkins (set of 2)
• Handmade Knitted Hanging Ghosts (set of 2)
• Handmade Knitted Floating Ghosts (set of 2)
• Handmade Knitted Spider Basket
• Handmade Knitted Monster Head Basket
• *Special Offer* Entire Halloween Range

Currently, I have 3 of each available and only 1 of the complete sets. I will be adding more if the demand is there.

Along with setting up my shop, I have created a new logo. I am currently working on updating my website too.
