After several years I finally decided to reopen my shop on Etsy.com. For those who don’t know, Etsy is a marketplace where crafters, designers and artisans can sell their own handmade products. It’s a pretty awesome place and I shop there regularly (I get my soap and some of my jewelry supplies from the sellers there).

Here’s what I have so far. Not much, but I’m hoping to have it more fully stocked within the next couple of weeks.

My entry was picked as the winner of Zazzle’s keychain design contest. I done got me a gift certificate! Thank you, Zazzle, for giving me an opportunity to shop on your site with impunity. Or at least a hundred bucks’ worth of impunity.

Zazzle’s having a keychain design contest, so this is my entry. I liked it enough to put it on some other products, but I’ll have to do a bit of a redesign to get it to fit on the stuff with a different aspect ratio.

Because I’ve got so much stuff going on offline and online, my participation at places like Redbubble has really suffered. That sucks, because I love that place. However, I did manage to enter one of my designs into a challenge at one of the the groups I’m a member of here. My Kawaii Kitty Valentine Exchange design has already snagged three votes. You say three votes doesn’t sound like a lot? Well it is to me, considering the high-caliber competition on Redbubble. I’d punch a nun for 3 votes there.

In an effort to further promote my products and psychologically spread myself thinner than spandex on a fat chick, I’ve started two new blogs: one at Posterous.com and one at Blogger. The Blogger blog is mainly for presenting products. I try to keep the Posterous blog a little less dry (and I’ll probably do a bit of crossposting between here and there).

We’ll see how long I can keep up with everything before I crack.
