A little news

admin — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 03:26:52 +0000

I’m 15 weeks pregnant today. For those who follow me on Twitter or know me in ”real life” you are probably already in the know on this one. None the less, it’s very exciting & life changing news… to me anyway.

Ooooh think of all the things I can craft… this time for my very own baby!

Market day!

Thread Den North Melbourne Market sign

So on Sunday Little Love Boat shared a stall table with Fox Parse at the Thread Den North Melbourne Markets.

This was the first market we’ve done with our current craft cover names and it was a nice day indeed. I can’t say I’m a massive fan of sitting at a table all day while people look at my stuff… actually I feel constantly judged but oh well, that’s just me. It made me realise how much I like selling on Etsy!

I think if either of us do any future stalls we will spend a lot more time working on our stall presentation and what goods we should have at them. This time round we basically had one item each, I had my brooches and Jess had her collars… a few different products probably would have helped us out! None the less it was an educative day for both of us and we got to hang out together all day… can’t complain about that!

Little Love Boat… my Etsy store evolution

admin — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 10:16:11 +0000

I’ve recently rebranded my Etsy store name from Aimzsta to the Little Love Boat. Although it’s done, I’m still kind of toying with new logo/brand design options etc. This is probably one of those things you should get sorted out before you go ahead with a rebrand but I’m really still in a process of evolution and learning here… and I’ve happy accepted that I’m probably not making the smartest business moves on earth. I just want to continue to enjoy the creative and experimental aspects of these fun times.

The sailor kitty isn’t part of the logo that’s actually just one of my new brooch designs (although I guess it could be!) – it will be laser cut from bamboo then painted by yours truly.

In other exciting news, I have some new designs on their way and I’m going to be increasing my Etsy store prices a little with the introduction of those new designs. I worked out that I am kind of slave labouring myself… and that’s probably not a very good or inspiring way to work!

Handmade cards for friends

admin — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 09:28:27 +0000

Today I created 2 cards for friends who have recently had baby girls. As per most of the cards I give to family and friends I have quickly whipped these up with thanks to Google image search, empty cereal boxes, a glue stick and a corner cutter.

A nice cheap, quick, resourceful and personal option for cards for family and friends.

Of course you should keep in mind that these cards use designs created by other people so you should only use them for personal use, like giving to friends – not selling as handmade goods.
