Cherry booties

I have finally got around to taking a fair number of photos.
Here are the first pair of booties don't they look cute, I will have bibs and hats to match of course. I am quite happy with them and will have sizes from newborn - 18 months.
I forgot to mention earlier that I have been looking through Christina Purdues blog where she has generously set out ideas for revamping, or as in my case setting up a shop on etsy. I have created a link to her blog so that others can gain from her experience and ideas.
I have managed to put together a banner with a couple of photos from my shop and a picture of a baby in a cupcake hat. Again I simply followed some instructions from an etsy forum.Speaking of forums I have been looking through and have decided to try to join etsybaby and etsykids where people who make toys clothes etc. for children work as teams to help promote one anothers work.

Goals

I nearly forgot to write down some goals that I would like to to reach.
Week one goals;

• Sort out fabrics for the first group of clothes to go into the shop. I would like to keep up with the idea of fruit and floral designs in both summer for Australian children and winters for European and USA kids.

• Go through design ideas for banner etc for etsy site.

• Make and photograph enough booties to open up the shop on etsy.

October goals;

• Start a blog, which of course I have done, yeh me!

• Have booties and bibs made and photographed.
• 
  
• Look into joining some forums to get ideas and help from those more experienced in this sort of thing.

• Not buy any more fabric or wool!!!

I have enough to do this month will consider my next step when these are completed.

So it begins!

I am an absolute novice as I mention in my introduction, so please be patient as I put my thoughts down via the keyboard.
This is day one of my blog; I won't be able to do any more to my blog as I still have to sew for the markets tomorrow. My head is teaming with ideas though. Since I will not be restricted by the same guidelines as I am at the Old Bus Depot Markets here in Canberra, I will be able to broaden the age range I create for. I have a couple of items that are ready to be photographed, perhaps I will get them onto my new site this week. They are some booties and hats for littlies.
I am also considering what sort of banner to place on etsy. Fruit? Trees? Baby? None of the former? I know that it will need to be pleasant and inviting for the people when they first see the page. I also need to work out to go about it.
I have seen a number of people on etsy who sell banners to other etsiers, I would really like to try my hand at something simple with what I have to hand, or on my computer.
