Not a FP Virgin Any More!!!

I made the FP this morning -- I was super excited, and got a lot of convos from folk letting me know -- it was like Christmas had come early for a while.

Here is the FP :

The treasury was created by a lovely lady name Taylor from Taylorseclectic I was so happy to be part of her treasury, and thrilled that it made the FP!

I did not get any sales from the exposure, the treasury was only on the FP for 20 mins, but I did get a ton of views and hearts, as well as individual item hearts : )

Thank you Taylor!!

Now I can't wait to be on the FP again!

Not much of anything doing today. I made a little pair of winter wonderland snow boots. Very simple, but I liked how they looked with no adornments. Cleaned, did laundry, and managed to watch Indiana Jones and The Crystal Skull while I sewed and the baby took a nap.

My sons play last night was fantastic, it was so funny, and my son got a round of applause when he ;left the stage. He just had a cameo role, but he managed to ham it up and make the most of the 10 lines he had! I was a very proud Mum! Sadly, we were not allowed to take pics, maybe when i go again on Saturday I can snag some after the show is done.

I was in another treasury today, this one was curated by INeedThat and is a lovely collection of people from Twitter! I really like Twitter a lot, I twitter on and off all day long about random things, and the part I like best is looking at other folks work and giving little thoughts of what might work better. Please take a min and visit INeeedThat in her shop!

Tonight I think I am going to clean up and try and relax and watch some TV. I have been a nervous wreck all day waiting for my pediatrician to call, but, alas she has not. I am guessing she is not too worried if I have not heard from her by now.

"Monday Monday, can't trust that day, Monday Monday, sometimes it just turns out that way"

Why do I have products sitting here and I never get my tush in to gear and post them? That's a thing about myself I find annoying. Although, I think, sometimes, if nothing is selling, and nothing is rushing past you, you lose all sense of urgency and motivation.

I WILL post my Peter Pan shoes today, I will, I will, I will! Ok, MAYBE I will -- ha ha.

OK, so here are two treasuries I found myself in.

This one was created by Earmark and I think it is gorgeous! I was thrilled to be included, and it has such a happy jolly feel to it!

This one is by TaylorsEclectic and I love the bold sassy colours of it. So much fun, and so whimsy.

I made a treasury today and featured some of the kind folk who have been around today when I was feeling blue! Its in treasury west and expires in 2 days.

..."Tuesday Im in Love ..."

I just finished the sweetest little shoes in a moss green. My daughter says they remind her of Peter Pan and I think she is right. I am starting work on some shoes inspired by the night sky.

One of the exciting things that happened today was I found myself in a treasury. not bad for a shop that has not even been open a week. I was super happy, and very humbled that cbpoole (pls click her name to go to her etsy shop) was kind enough to include me!

I think all the items she chose were adorable, and I am in very good company. This is my first treasury for The Naked Mushroom, and I can't wait to make treasuries myself to include some of the fantastic folk I have met this week.

Another interesting thing was, I made it on to the twitter page called, Ugly Sh*t on Etsy. The Denim corset my husband made was featured, but only for a brief while, till the person behind the twitter account took it down. It didn't bother me one bit, mainly because I know our work at The Naked Mushroom is of high quality and craftsmanship, but also because I know it isn't ugly.
Sure, its not my most favourite piece he has ever made, I much prefer the corduroy corset, but still, its well constructed and looks FAb with a pair of jeans!

I also can't believe how ugly some etsy folk were to others in the thread, it amazed me, and made me feel quite sad. There is enough ugliness in the world without folk going out of their way to be mean just to get their jollies.
