Its Friday!

Well, I don't have too much to talk about today. Its been a pretty uneventful week as far as the shop are concerned. I have had another week of no sales. I really feel that I need to promote myself more, but with the lack of funds to do so it is quite hard.

I know I should be blogging more but I am drawing a blank for what I should be talking about. I need some topics. So I am calling for TOPICS!

Please leave some comments or feedback with some topics you would like me to cover.

Some things about me that you might need to know:
I have a degree in Textiles and Clothing focusing in Residential Design from OSU.
I work at Dillard's full time.
I am the owner of both ANiemanCrochet and ANiemanPhotography.

Thanks for your help!

Selling my Photography as Supplies

Recently I asked for some critiques through the forums of my A. Nieman Photography shop. Someone brought up the fact that some of my statements in my shop policies were unclear. They also poised the question, what if an etsy seller would like to use my art work in theirs.

Here's the answer: I would love to have some use my photographs in their own art work etc. The only thing I ask is that there is full disclosure on where they purchased the photograph. By this I mean that I am given credit within the listing, stating that the artwork used in the item was taken by myself.

I don't think that that is too much to ask. A link to my shop would be appreciated. I would also love to work with the seller and promote them here on my blog. I feel that if they would like to use my photos that it is not only a way for them to promote my shop but for me to promote them. It would be a thank you for their purchase and honesty.

I'm going to start adding the tag of supply to my digital photos for this reason. I think it should give me more exposure and maybe help spark sellers imaginations for the use of my art. My aim is to become a great resource for crafters!

Here are some of my latest additions:

Lost of new stuff!

The past couple of days I have been vigorously adding my craft shop items to my etsy shop. I am up to 33 items in my shop and have quite a few more to add. It is a slow process because I only have a couple of hours a day after I get home from work.

Today though, I was off and was able to post more. Here are their links:

I would love to get some feedback. I took some more up-close shots and put some of my items on a grey background.

Have a Nice Day!!!

Getting rid of inventory

Today I am going through all the itrems I have in my inventory and repricing and reposting them on Etsy. I was actually surprised by how much stuff I had on hand that was not listed. So over the next couple days I will be listing like crazy until everything is up and running.

I will be lowering all prices as I relist. So you will be getting some great deals.

Please check out the site: http://www.aniemancrochet.etsy.com/ !

Also I would love to get feed back, good and bad! I would love to know what i should make more of or stop making all together.

Thanks for your help, in advance!
