Well I have not been feeling well. I have B12 deficiency which means I need B12 injections every 3 months and iron and folic acid tablets. Without the B12 I do not absorb the iron or folic acid. I forgot my B12 and then there was a mix up at the doctors and I had to wait 2 weeks for a ne appointment. Long story short I felt truely crap 💩 on Thursday so took the time off work. Managed to get an appointment yesterday for B12 and although I don’t feel better yet I have had a productive day. 💙Made a load of things for our classroom. ❤️Batch made some videos for the behind the scenes series. 💛 made a new banner, logo and updated my polices 💚 Audited my listings so I can make some quick listing tomorrow. But I know that I have to use my weekend for Etsy so in the interest of being with the family . I also took Luke and Luna on a walk. Luna was off the lead for the first time and she did so well. Luke was calling her and giving treats and I got some much needed fresh air. Oh and the cat (Molly) tried to pinch the dogs chicken snacks. 🤦‍♀️

What are your wins this week? What have you been working on ? Show us your pictures we love to see them .

I'm putting together my first junk journal bundle, but it is much smaller than the bigger ones I see on Etsy. Honestly it's less overwhelming for me for items to be more curated. Looking at the design of the thumbnail, suggest feedback. I'd consider it a mini-bundle. Getting the pattern sheet is still concerning me as I'm not sure I understand how large the pattern should be for the repeat.

I saw this in another group. It’s a free Etsy event if anyone wants to sign up. Hope it’s ok to share Clare. https://etsysummit.com/

I’m so excited to introduce 🌱 Welcome to Alice — The Niche Explorer💛 Alice was created to help you gently explore what you could sell on Etsy, without pressure, overwhelm, or feeling like you have to get everything right straight away. Alice isn’t here to tell you what you should do. Instead, she helps you understand how you work best — what motivates you, what you enjoy creating, and what you’re most likely to stick with over time. From there, she offers a few thoughtful ideas you can explore at your own pace. There are no right or wrong answers. You don’t need a finished idea, a niche, or even an Etsy shop yet. This is simply a safe space to reflect, connect the dots, and see what possibilities start to feel exciting rather than stressful. At the end, Alice will suggest up to three possible directions that may suit you, with real Etsy-style examples to help you picture what they could look like in practice. You’re free to explore one, mix ideas, or simply sit with them for a while. There’s no rush here. But the price for Alice is an introductory offer which will change at some point in the future. At to be transparent you buy her once and then she is yours forever! Clarity often comes from gentle curiosity and small experiments. I hope Alice helps you feel a little calmer and more confident about your next steps 🌱
