Autumn leaves, whistling wind
A Witch's cape flies free
Wood smoke, a cozy hearth
Children's laughter and glee
Screen doors creak...trick or treat? trick or treat?
Voices in the night
Wishing you a Halloween 
full of frightful delight

------------

Did you notice little Jasper has turned into a Bat...

Etsy Sale Success!




You all played a part in making my first ever Etsy sale a wonderful success. All four pieces found a home in record time...I even had my first international sale as the Bittersweet Bunny and Needle-Book are going to Australia.
I was a Nervous Nelly all day fretting about how this sale would turn out. I must have went in and tweaked my listings a dozen times. Also on my mind was how to price everything as I know how long it took to create them...especially the ones with the all the cross stitched details.

 I truly believe that if I don't value my own work...then others won't value it either. So I priced my pieces accordingly and again my worries were unfounded, and the sale ended successfully.
I feel blessed in so many ways!

As a side note I will be working on a new group that will be all about Winter and Christmas...let the cold winds blow!
 
Thank-you!
Hugs Susan

Boo the Baby Bat

 Meet "Boo" the Baby Bat, he's the latest addition 
to my menagerie of Autumn/Halloween themed pieces.
 I woke up early this morning...started a fire in the wood stove and read "Etsy for Dummies"(((because I'm kind of an Etsy dummy and need to educate myself)))...where was I...oh yea...I woke up early and after some light reading went up to my studio and put the finishing touches on Little Boo...he's a happy camper now that he got he's own pumpkin.
Little Boo will be joining the other Characters that will be available for adoption October 19th in my Etsy Store.


Cheerios, Susan

My Fall sale on Etsy

 
Mark the Date 
My Fall sale will take place in my Etsy store on
 Saturday October 19th at 3:00pm Pacific time.

The following work will be available for purchase.


In the works and almost complete are a wee bat plus a few more fuzzy characters...I will post photos here as I finish them. I will also post a reminder as we get closer to my sale date.
This will be my fist Etsy sale...I have purchased from there but have never listed anything in my store. I made the decision to do this to save me time and work. Now you won't have to wait for my reply email telling you whether or not you succeeded in acquiring a piece...and I won't have to spend so much time writing these replies and listings. Now you can just go to my store at the appointed time and simply pick the one you like and make a purchase...beautiful in it's simplicity. One last note...I will only be accepting payments by PayPal in my Etsy store.  

You can also go to my Etsy shop and become a follower there as well.
Hope to see you there...if you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Cheerio, Susan 
(((Back to Work)))
