Here is some more shameless self-promotion compliments of Crafty Gossip’s newest blog editor, Jennifer Perkins, who now writes for this network as the Craft Artist-Life and Interview blogger.

Jennifer interviewed me about life as a craft blogger, my two new books, social media, crafting media, and more. Please check it out and, of course, you’ll want to sign up for their RSS feed while you are over there because they cover all kinds of crafting news and information: “Tammy Powley AKA the Crafty Princess”

Some other news is that I just opened up Tammy Powley’s Crafty Princess Etsy Shop. That’s a mouthful! I’m slowing adding items for sale, and while I may at some point put up some finished jewelry, I plan to primarily concentrate on selling items to help others craft such as beads, pdf files, and other related supplies and information. I’m about half way through reorganizing my studio, and that means I’m discovering all kinds of odds and ends that I forgot I have (items I have purchased myself not had donated from suppliers or sponsors of some of my books and other projects). Some of those you’ll see posted in my shop. If I manage to get things rolling over there, I have some unique outlets where I can get my hands on more jewelry making supplies, so we’ll see how that goes. I’m testing the waters right now, seeing what sells, if anything. Margot Potter has also opened up an etsy store recently and has some adorable little Kewpie dolls for super cheap. She’s going to be running a contest with them, so she’s selling the dolls since they are a buger to find in the States. I’ve already ordered a few and have some ideas for decorating them. We’ll see what happens with that.

So, please, please, stop by my esty shop and give your thoughts: What do you think sells best over there as far as supplies? Do you think my pictures are okay, or do they look crappy? Any feedback is welcome since I’m such an etsy virgin!
