first blog

hey all
have been planning to become a serious blogger for quite some time now.........but found it too technical.I just couldnt figure out how to have  a fancy template!!!!!!!!
Today i decided to take a stab at it & actually READ instructions instead of just flying over them.................& aha!!!!!!!!
It's so simple.............just copying & pasting html.............thats about it:)
Well................i have been wanting to blog for the reason that i want to be in step with the rest of the world & chronicle my new passion..............BAG MAKING :)
I am an Indian & believe me all Indian girls do know some kinda craft. We are actually taught a subject in our school curriculum called SUPW(socially useful productive work) which we used to call Some Useful Periods Wasted:).We were taught knitting,crochet,sewing,painting,soft toy making .......................many many more.So naturally i know all the basics & past few years i have been making lot of things too................but have decided now to take it up professioanlly!!!!!
I did a short stint at etsy............i would call it successful too(over 1000$ in 40 odd days)..............but my shop was too scattered,i had listed everything i have made at home rights from cushion covers,needle work,kids clothing,womens clothing & God knows what all!!!!!!
My banner was terrible..................my loooooooong Indian name confused everyone ...........in short it was quite a mess trying to sell from what looked like a garage sale:)
But i did 23 custom orders in 20 days:)
Well anywayz after 2 months on etsy i realised what all i was doing wrong & i have shut shop.Now i am planning on concentrating on just 1 product...........ie BAGS & PURSES.
I  am currently working on a line  & as soon as i have enough inventory i will be back:)
This time im planning to go on Artfire though.................maybe etsy too,dunno yet.
Etsy fees is a killer!!!!!!
I am planning on a few tutorials too here.................i have no idea how to make them:)YET.........im sure i will cross that bridge when i reach it.
Thats it for now:)
ciao
