Come Learn with me: Getting Started on Etsy

I will be teaching an exciting new class for Etsy Dallas and Dallas Makerspace, Getting Started on Etsy.  This class is for Etsy beginners who want to learn all the best practices to launch an Etsy shop successfully. The curriculum I will be teaching has been developed by some amazing folks at Etsy.com, and I am delighted to work with them to offer it locally in Dallas. 

My Etsy shop has brought me so many amazing opportunities, 

allowed me to work a flexible schedule (around my kid's crazy schedules), and helped me to make so many talented friends. 

And you can do it too! Come let me show you how!

Eeep! Did you see me on TV?

Look at me getting lots of press lately! Well, not really me per se, but I have certainly had some nice opportunities to show off my goods while talking about the 5th Annual Etsy Dallas Spring Bash. 

Red Flying Horse did a great job capturing the fun at the Spring Bash.

Emily Hargrove from Prime TV helped us spread the word on the shop+party+art+craft 

and just plain fun to be had at the Spring Bash. 

And boy can I talk about Etsy Dallas! I think it is quite evident just how much I adore my team. They are the best! Yay team!

Oh What Fun!

The Jingle Bash is indeed a craft show like no other! It is a party where you can shop for handmade goodies, craft some awesome handmade goodies of your own at the Make and Take table, meet some fabulously talented crafty folks, and have a jolly ol' time while you check off items on your holiday shopping list.

I hope to see you there! It's going to be a ton of fun!

Peek Inside the Sweetest Matryoshka

This is a busy, busy time at the Regal Cottage.  I'm hard at work getting ready for the party+craft+art+show known as the Etsy Dallas Spring Bash. So I thought it might be fun to give you a little peak behind the scenes. 

Here's a look at how I make the Sweetest Matryoshka dolls.  

First, I take this lovely vintage chenille, 

and mix it up with my favorite Matryoshka print. 

These sweeties are patiently awaiting their stuffing and rattles/bells. {I'm now making these in two options, with quiet bells or with louder rattles. I've found that some like them dainty and quiet, and some like to really hear them!}.

And then, finally, we have a fresh batch of Sweetest Matryoshka dolls all ready for the show!

Hope to see you at the Spring Bash Saturday, April 30th!
