In early December, I opened my store at Shop Handmade. People have looked at my cards, but no one had bought anything nor even asked any questions about any of my items. I know, it's only been two and a half months, but I had no encouragement at all along the way.
Slowly I put items into the store and a week ago I finally got a Valentine card finished. This is it:
It's made of hand-stitched hearts arranged to create the flower. And the inside:
Someone named Paul from Pennsylvania bought it and I sure hope it pleases the recipient.
I still have several other cards in the store, maybe they'll sell in time, too. I'm planning to put a couple of Easter cards up when I get the chance to make them.
I guess the bottom line is that I am very encouraged to finally have sold one of my works. I love making the cards and am glad someone else liked this one well enough to send me money for it.
