I am back from my holiday in North Devon with a camera full of photographs, and not very much crafting done. So many photos that I don't quite know which to pick. It was cold much of the time, but we did have some lovely walks on the glorious beaches.

The last comment is mainly for my children, who spent a lot of the week moaning that their friends apparently all go much more exotic and exciting places.
And as for crafting I have had a really good week. I am almost at the point of posting a new pattern on ravelry. I so want to put it on, but haven't quite got the right photos yet. It is so tempting just to think "that will do", but I am going to try and get it all as perfect as possible, so that will probably be another week.
My monarch butterfly toy sets on Etsy have sold out. My first online product sales. (OK, there were only two.) But it has made me think that selling online is probably the way to go, and I am busy making another set.
Also on Craftsy one of my patterns got into the Craftsy Trending Patterns Charts, which really boosted sales for a short while. Very exciting for a day or two, but then a bit sad as I slowly dropped down and out of the chart. I have not really considered the power of advertising before ...
What beautiful beaches. I didn't even know that craftsy had trending patterns. It is really exciting watching patterns be really popular. Can you say what your pattern is?
ReplyDeleteGreat pics and the first one is great - would make a nice card. Hope you have a good week.
ReplyDeleteYour holiday photos show smiley faces and that's what holidays are about, not the location, eh? From a caravan lover whose children also moan about the fact that they have never been on a plane like all of their friends! Well done on your online sales - I'm sure more will follow x
ReplyDeletewow, what gorgeous photographs!! Very professional :)
ReplyDeletecongratulations on your Etsy sales and craftsy success, both so well deserved :) x
Well done on your first sales. Lucky you, in North Devon - Lynmouth was like my 2nd home when I was growing up. Absolutely love it there.
ReplyDeleteThe beach pics are wonderful and you're right - we have so many amazing places in this country that it would take a lifetime to see them all.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the sales and your chart topping pattern (it may have only been for a short time but that doesn't matter). Looking forward to seeing your next pattern.
ReplyDeleteLovely beach photos too :-)
Your pics are great evidence of your children having a wonderful time in the UK. They definitely look like they're enjoying themselves. Congratulations on you first sale, hope you get many more.
