MsBittyKnacks Whimsical Decor & Designs

As I close in on my first year selling on Etsy, I have a lot to be very thankful for. I have learned more about a community dedicated to those who value and love handmade and vintage treasures, I have met some wonderful people through sales and groups, and I have learned that I am capable of so much more than I ever gave myself credit for! It has been a wonderful year and here is to hoping that we have many more successful years through Etsy.com!

In the process of our shop's growth, I have joined some incredibly helpful teams through which I have met some amazing people! I would love to give a shout out here to all of the wonderful folks over at the Handmade Movement Etsy team for giving us our start on Etsy and for just being amazingly kind individuals :)

A few weeks ago I entered a contest through the Handmade Movement blog (http://handmademovement.blogspot.com/) and was incredibly surprised to find out shortly after that I won! The prize was a set of the most adorable plush owls I have ever seen!

 

The fabric is incredibly durable and everything about the owls screams quality! They are made beautifully. I adore the vibrant colors and they just really put a smile on my face. 

These adorable owls are available over at  MsBittyKnacks Whimsical Decor & Designs Etsy Shop, http://www.etsy.com/shop/MsBittyKnacks .

You will find an abundance of the cutest items! From Owl Plushes to Journals, there is definitely a unique gift idea for everyone!

Featured Etsy Shop: Bloomingtails Dog Duds

This has just been such a wonderful week! The Texas heat may be terrible, but I have managed to make the best of it and still enjoy the week with a huge smile on my face =).

Tuesday was definitely mail day! I received several supply packages I had ordered along with a few other various letters. Included in our mail was a fantastic package from Bloomingtails Dog Duds! We won a fabulous giveaway through the Gulf Coast Crafters Team Blog, and were so pleased to find that we won a stunning coat made to fit my adorable pooch Hershey!

I love the fit! I made sure to order a size that was just a bit larger than my little Hershey as she really only enjoys wearing clothing that is loose fitting (much like her owner! lol I could live in pj's if allowed!) I also love how soft the material is! It is not as heavy as I first thought, which I absolutely love. This will definitely be perfect for those cooler winter months when my room gets exceptionally chilly.

Bloomingtails Dog Duds Etsy shop offers an absolutely lovely selection of clothing for just about any style. All of the outfits are unique and colorful and are definitely the perfect gift for any pampered pooch. From adorable dresses to casual coats, there is definitely something there for everyone's tastes!

Facing your Fears! My biggest fear? Custom Orders!

So lately I have been trying my hand at a few local custom orders. I have always been a little nervous about them as I am scared stiff that I will miss an important detail and the customer will be unhappy.

I recently took on a few custom headband orders inspired by anime and cosplay! These were the results:

(Pink and Gold Horned Headband)

(Orange and Striped Horned Headband)

(Denim Fox Eared Headband with Vintage Lace and Fabric)

They were tons of fun to make and the customer was VERY pleased with the purchase as they were based on her own designs! I finally faced my fear and I feel all the better for it! What are some of your crafting fears that you faced or plan to face? I would love to hear your stories!
