Etsy Stock Take - Week Fifty-one.

My favourite last week: Bracelet with woodland animals and pearls at hARTjewelry

Etsy Stock Take - Week Fifty-one - Sunday Linky Party

Hi guys,

The mountains were amazing! Now we're in Geneva, Switzerland for the rest of the year. Lot's of moving around of furniture and cleaning to do, but we'll surely find time for a bit of fun as well. I've made some progress with my knitted waistcoat. Can't wait to wear it :)


There is a new feature on the blog! Featured Etsy Stock Taker. Check it out, it's rather nice :) 

Please do get involved with promoting the Etsy Stock Take it a bit more in the coming weeks (pinning, tweeting, blogging, Etsy teams, you know the deal...) so that you get the best out of this exposure opportunity. I'm sure you can appreciate I won't have much time (moving from Germany to Holland and having a bit of a holiday in between)!

Shoppers of handmade stuff:
Scroll down for some more beautiful products made by some of my readers. Please visit their shops on Etsy and consider buying something! You'll be glad you did :)

Etsy Sellers:
Please, no holiday items, let's keep this a Christmas free zone!
Link up your items to get more exposure for your shop. You might be featured in the Best of the Week or Best of the Month features (and then you'll be tweeted and pinned!). Vintage is welcome too!

You have 2 options:

1. Bloggers:

Then link up using the Linky widget (where it says 'click here to enter') at the bottom of this post so we can find your blog.

Hi guys,

We're in Flaine in the French Alps. Little bit of a skiing break. Not much to say, I'll have more time for chat in a couple of weeks ;)

I wanna make that! Jewels in Knitting.


This is the coolest detail ever. I saw this in Esprit some weeks ago in Hamburg before we left. I would love to knit jewels into my pieces.

I think the way to do it is to thread a whole load of beads onto the yarn before you commence knitting and then pull them down once in a while, into a stitch. I will have to try it out. Anyone got tips for me?


PS. Are you into buying handmade? Yes? Then you should check out the amazing stuff in the Etsy Stock Take. If you sell your craft on Etsy, please come and join in :)

Featured Etsy Stock Taker: LikeFreja.

LikeFreja


My name is Lora aka Freja Moon, and I live in a Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. Most of my life I had very urban and very technical focus but since my boy have been born I returned to my artistic and crafty core.

It happens that I found I am strongly attracted to fashion knitting and crocheting and fiber arts in general. So I have started a shop, called LikeFreja where I can share the love of hand knitting and crocheting with others around the globe. My knowledge is based on my grand mums lessons and my passion to read and experiment with the needles and the hooks.

My favorite part of the work is choosing the right yarn for a project. It should be a premium quality and with a trendy appearance. Very often my designs come as a consequence of the material I am in love with. So I assume I am a yarn-o-cholic :)

Come and see my shop where you can appreciate my work and I am sure, you will feel special and connected. Thank you!


What's the Etsy Stock Take?

It's an opportunity for artisans with an Etsy shop is get more exposure. I believe in buying handmade and I would like to encourage others to do so more regularly. If you are looking for a great gift, the curated Best of the Month Etsy Stock Takes are a good place to start. If you are an Etsy shop owner, please get involved!

Would you like to be featured next? Contact me and we'll set it up (it's free!).

Etsy Stock Take - Week Forty-nine - Sunday Linky Party

Hi guys,

Loving Italy. We've been horse riding, hill walking, hot chocolate (so think your spoon stands up in it) drinking, mooching around getting our energy back and hanging out with family. I've also been working A LOT on my Italian of course. Not much crafting to report...

There is a new feature on the blog though! Featured Etsy Stock Taker. Check it out, it's rather nice :)

Want more exposure?
I would like to start a new feature where I introduce some of you Etsy Stock Takers personally. You might have already read about this in the regular email. This might be especially good for non-bloggers. Just send me a nice photo and a paragraph about you and your process. See who's already been featured.. If you are interested in getting involved or being featured, please drop me a line

I hope you have had a lot of crafty sales this week. Please show us what you have in your shops!

Etsy Stock Take - Week Forty-eight - Best of November.

Etsy Stock Take - Week Forty-eight - Sunday Linky Party

Hi guys,

We're in Italy! We've just arrived in Liguria. It's a very good feeling to be with family (that's not even mentioning the food or the wine, or even the sunshine and sea... haha!).

We basically spent the last two days in the car. But that meant knitting progress as I like knitting on a  long journey. It makes the time go that much faster. I've started a biscuit coloured waistcoat for myself. It's quite yummy.

What have you been up to? Here is the best of November!

Week Forty-four:
Solid Lotion at DelicateByNature

Week Forty-five:
Snowflake Decoration at artsyants

Week Forty-six:
Vintage Jewellery Box at junquegypsy

Week Forty-seven:
Quartz and aquamarine gemstone necklace at magsbeadscreation
