A Milestone

I set up my Etsy shop late last August with high hopes and low expectations. I got a convo about a custom order on my first day and after figuring out what a "convo" was, I've been trundling along with fairly regular sales. At the beginning of the summer I made some sales goals to meet before my one-year Etsy anniversary and this morning I met my milestone:

I never thought I'd be able to make 200 items, let alone sell that many! Etsy has been a grand adventure, allowing me to stretch my brain and develop my designing skills. It's provided a great excuse to go to fabric stores and helped me overcome my irrational fear of sewing zippers. I've met amazingly creative and kind people along the way. I think I'll have another cup of coffee to celebrate!

Have you met any milestones lately?

    Congratulations! Amazing :) And it's funny about the zippers, because that is what I show all my friends first "Did you see how beautifully she put in this zipper?"

    Many more sales to you!

    Wow! 200 items sold. Congrats on sales and mentions. I just had my 50th blog, a small milestone but nonetheless an achievement. Still working on the zippers, though. I told my daughter we would learn together :)
