I made 2 tutu dresses (yes, the items finally came from that stinking company that I ordered from) on Friday. Here's the first one:
and again:
This one sells for $28 for the complete set, including tutu dress with detachable flower, and headband with detachable flower. It is already sold as you can tell!
The second one has already been put on layaway, but I can quickly recreate another one in your favorite colors!
This one will be an Easter outfit and will have the following with it: a yellow caplet and yellow hat, and a pair of yellow "bloomers" . Here's a pic with the caplet and hat laying with it. The final hat will be a little different from this one.
I will also be making a matching set to match Alli's favorite Middleton Doll! Other variations of this tutu are below:
If either of these are purchased (*with the xxlarge flowers) the price of the set will be $30, The change in price is due to the increased cost of the flowers.
The tutu set with the caplet, hat, bloomers, and matching set for the baby doll is $75.00
I am very very happy and excited about the tutut's. I have so many ideas in my head that it's not funny. And not only for the tutus. I sat down yesterday and took an online training course in making my own hair bows. Here's my first attempt:
I love these little bows! I plan on in the near future trying a loopy bow, a layered loopy bow, and many more! That is as soon as I can find alligator clips. I see a trip to the hair supply store in my future!
I received an order this weekend for 2 stork pouches for photography. I have the blue one done, and am almost done with the pink one. I will post pics once they are completed. They are turning out really cute though.
I've been really depressed lately. I see all of these other crafters on ebay, etsy, facebook, etc.... that are selling their items so fast they can barely keep up with orders. One day last week I seriously considered shutting down my shops. I am still considering it, as I don't feel that my items are selling good enough for me to put as much time and money into this small business that I have. It's really frustrating when I look at these other people's creations and I think, (and have others tell me) that mine look a lot better, and are nicer. If that's true, then why are they not selling? I have prayed and prayed for an answer of what to do. God, did crack the door open for me this weekend, and I got one foot through the door.... but I still feel like there's something keeping me from opening that door all the way. If anyone can guide me through opening the door the rest of the way please do! I'm still praying though, that God will give me the guidance that I need to make the right decision. I KNOW he will not let me down, and that he will give me the answer.
Until next time.....
