    Thank you so much for your videos! I have an Etsy shop that I’ve had for years and can’t seem to make it into a full time business for myself like I’ve always wanted, mainly cause I’m always just adding whatever I like to make to it and not just sticking to like less then 10 items to do that sells good. It’s good to see someone so honest and open about what works for them and how much they make doing so. I’ve been thinking of trying out some of your items to see if it helps boost sells of my own. I already have bowl cozies and even hot pads but don’t sell as many of those as I thought I would. I did make little poo pouches but left off the grommets to just be little keychain pouches for teacher appreciation week for my daughters school and they all loved them so thinking of adding those to my shop as well. I love seeing what you do each month so please keep the 3 month videos coming as it gives me great ideas for my own shop. Thanks so much again!!!

    • @ChristinesHomeAffairs
