One of the first big presents my husband gave me was a little Elna TSP, which I still have. It took me a while to gain the confidence to use but once I did I never looked back.
When my children were small I loved making clothes for them. they were tall and thin, so it was difficult to find things in the shops that fitted them.
For the last 4 years I have had a stall at some local markets selling baby and childrens gear but recently decided that my weekends are precious and that I should try my hand at selling online.
I thought it would be a good idea to write down my thoughts about this whole experience, this always helps me to clarify things in my head. So here goes.....................

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.
