So after a lot of hymning and hawing, I finally put stuff in my Etsy shop. As of right now it is only 3 baby carriers, but there will be many more purses, bags, carriers, mei tais (Asian baby carriers) and miscellany to come. I may even put some knitted goods in my shop, but we'll see how my hands feel about that idea. I had originally wanted to start off with a bang: 15 items of various types to put in my shop and attract a plethora of shoppers. Then I realized it was time to be realistic. True, it's always an investment to start a business, but I also have to live. I did splurge on the fancy DSLR camera to make my goods look extra purty (and my products as well- ha!). I will probably also try for an approved seamstress level to sell the VeryBaby diapers, but again, it takes money to apply, however great the return may be.
Now to get back to the work I actually get paid for--grading essays from the reading and composition course I'm teaching. I guess there really is no rest for the wicked...
