I am working on some chokers to list in my Etsy store ( http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6366347 ) and I am trying to find what the "average" neck size for women is. I can't find any info for it on the web, so I thought maybe...

kymommy72 Thanks so much for the response. I have a plus size neck too :) I do intend to make a few for plus size necks also, so I am glad you added your neck size to the list. Mine is close to yours at 17. I always have the hardest time trying to find chokers that fit,...

I'm curious as to everyone's answer to this. As craft sellers, do you make the crafts you make simply because they make you happy or do you make the items you think will sell even if you don't really enjoy making them that much?...

Ok, so I want to learn how to do this. My mom tried to teach me a million times, but I just didn't have the patience for it. As an adult I am hoping I can do it. I see so many pretty hats and thing's I want to make for my little...

kymommy72 I've heard of Raverly, but I thought it was an exclusive kind of group. Someone told me you need an invite from a member of good standing or something like that. I will head on over there and have a look. Thanks so much for the post and advice.

I've been reading alot about twitter in the Etsy forums and I was wondering if any of my fellow mylotters who are also Etsy-ians use twitter. It's suppose to be a great marketing tool. I personally like it because unlike with a...

kymommy72 LOL I hear you on that. I've heard several people on Etsy post several times a day to cater to a morning, crowd, lunchtime crowd, etc. Right now, I'm busy trying to get some stuff done up for my shop, so if I get a "Twitter addiction" it's going to have to...

kymommy72 Major bummer!! Ooops! That was my error. It's suppose to be the first 3 ingredients. Sorry all. Mix the butter, sugar and milk ONLY in the saucepan. That's what I get for trying to type with an 11 month old on my lap who has more hands than an octopus LOL.

kymommy72 I followed the first case pretty closely. I think it facinated me that a celebrity was put in such a position. I guess you get this idea that they are just above reproach sometimes. In this case, it would have made so much more sense to just go to the police...

kymommy72 That's so sweet. Make a bunch and let him practice on them. I think a little lopsided bow that he tried to tie himself will make the gift even more special. I make my son make his own present for his dad and my best friend every year and when my little girl...

I just love Carol Duvall. Other shows have come and gone for me depending on the craft I was into at that time, such as DIY Jewelry Making or DIY Scrapbooking, but Carol Duvall has been a constant. Her shows are always informative...
