First Etsy Kick Start Feature!

And what a shop to kick things off!

Please welcome Meredith from Sheepish Knitting and Crochet!

Here’s a quick bio:

Hi! My name is Meredith. I decided to learn to knit after I read a certain, bestselling knitting novel….haha. Predictable, huh? Well, I bought some supplies and sat down in front of the all-knowing entity that is YouTube. Believe it or not after watching MANY videos about casting on, purling, and binding off, I finally got the hang of it. I had no idea how deeply I would fall in love with this craft. Later, I taught myself to crochet, and became completely addicted! It is now one year later and this quiet, (some may say sheepish) girl is using yarn to find her voice.

My Sheepish shop features original knit and crochet accessories. Each item represents my attention to detail and classic style with a unique twist. I find inspiration everyday (you should see my “idea” notebook) and I am constantly adding new products! I am happy to make custom items and I ship internationally! Feel free to contact me at any time!

I love this shop! Chunky knits are my thing, seeing as I hate cold! But my favourite item by far is this adorable iphone case!

I think if you love your iphone, you should definitely treat it to this case!

Meredith also does some awesome wrist warmers

And funky bright scarves

Seriously, this shop is a great new find. And from the emails I’ve had from Meredith she seems like a really great person!

You can find her shop here

And her blog here

Do go and have a peep!

Thanks for being the first Etsy Kick Start Feature Meredith!

If you have an Etsy shop with less than 20 sales and would like to be featured, please contact me :)

Teeth with a grudge!

The Wee One is sick today so no day care for him and no work for Mummy. I think there's some teeth doing their best to torture the poor little fellow... and by default me. We spent most of the night up cuddling together, something Daddy gets to miss out on- lucky bugger.

Noah is still wearing this face from last week after injections, but now he has flaming red cheeks.

While he's asleep I wanted to quickly post these earrings I made for myself. Sterling and copper with sterling chain hanging below. I'm going to wear them to Jem's Grad Ball next week... I think. What do you think? Are they dressy enough? Maybe I should have gone with something more elaborate?





I'll listen to the wisdom of the blogging community so let me know what you think!

Also I'm still working on getting the Etsy Kick Start Feature going, I did not expect the huge response (thought maybe one or two people might be interested) but soon it'll be all up and running! So Keep watching this space!

Operation Kick Start Etsy!

Ok I've had a huge response to my idea of a free feature each week for new Etsy sellers or those with less than 20 sales to date. I need to do some organizing but watch this space and sooner rather than later I'll be able to show off some really great stores!
