Website

When I started thinking about making a website for my Kali's Kreations I never thought the hard part would be coming up with a web address. kaliskreations.com is already taken and thinking of something similar is turning out more difficult then I thought. I've gotten a few suggestions that I like but I can't choose! Now I just feel stuck because the suggestions I've gotten all seem pretty good. These are the suggestions I like:

kalis_kreations.com
kaliskreationsbybg.com
kaliskreations13.com
kaliskustomkreations.com
kaliskreations4u.com
kreationsbykali.com

If you see this post would you please leave a comment or contact me on http://www.facebook.com/#!/KalisKreations and tell me what you think? I'd really appreciate it!

Appreciation

I got a great appreciation photo today! I sold this hat a few months ago over Etsy. I love appreciation photos. I love seeing people actually use what I make and I love seeing them enjoy their purchases! Its such a great feeling! Thank you everyone for buying handmade for 2012. Unless you make handmade, you'll never understand how amazing it feels when someone likes what you've made enough to buy it and show it off! Thank you so much!

Something New

Since starting my at home business, all I've really done is sell yarn projects. Here and there I dabbled a bit in jewelry but I've always gone back to my yarn. My grandma taught me to knit but I was the one who taught myself crochet. There are plenty of other crafts I would like to try but I just don't know how. I can't sew, despite my envy of people who can, I can't sculpt or take great pictures, but every now and then I can teach myself something new. Yesterday I started on a new self taught craft: ribbon bows! I've made two different kinds since yesterday and will continue to make more. Here are pictures of my newest items up for sale!

Something New Is Coming!


Since starting my online shop back in 2010, I've only sold stuff related to crochet or knitting. It seems to reach a small amount of people and I'd like to get my business moving! Here are some pictures of past things I have sold.














 
 
I still have similar things available in my shop in case you see something you like. I appreciate you taking the time to read my blog. I enjoy what I do and sharing it with you is what makes it all worth my time. I appreciate hearing from you, knowing you're out there seeing me and I look forwards to hearing any opinions you might have.
 
In the next week or some I'm taking some time to dabble in other crafting types. I love my yarn but from time to time I need to look at other things besides hooks, needles and yarn. I hope you stay tuned to see what I come up with and I hope you like it!

Etsy and Kali's Kreations

This is a little background about my Etsy store. I started trying to sell things on Etsy on September 8, 2011. By the end of 2011, I made one sell. A little disappointing but I kept at it. So far this year in 2012 I've had 8 sells, which is better then last year. In 2013, I'm hoping to continue to market myself and spread the word of what I do. I hope to sell more ready made stuff than custom orders. (I do custom orders which have contributed to about 75% or so of my orders from my facebook page.)

Getting a business started isn't easy but having a husband whose supportive is a great bonus. He has come with me to vender/craft fairs and he makes helpful suggestions and he supports me in just about every way a husband can. Having him be in the military has helped too. We aren't rolling in dough or anything but it has allowed me to focus my time on spreading the word as far as I can.

I hope to gather as many followers on my Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/#!/KalisKreations), my Twitter (@kalijames13), my Instagram (kaliskreations), my etsy (http://www.etsy.com/shop/kalijames13?ref=si_shop), my storenvy (http://kaliskreations.storenvy.com/) and now this blog, as possible before my baby comes in May so I can take a few weeks off away from the computer and the crochet hook without people forgetting about me! When I'm not using my hands to make something, I'm online trying to gather followers and share my photos.

Look for this photo to know its me!

Hello and welcome to my blog!

Hello and welcome to my blog! I run my own Handmade at home business! I am a crocheter and I sell on Etsy. I have a Facebook page, Twitter, Instagram and an Etsy account. I have baby stuff, hats, scarves, gloves, christmas stuff. Tons of stuff. I encourage you to check out all my pages. I have been knitting since I was 10 and started crochetting in August 2011. My grandma taught me to knit and I have been obsessed with hand making things ever since.
