Website is done!

And the website is finished and all uploaded.  Now I just need traffic and customers!  Still plugging away on making things for the Etsy store and website.  I do have another project to post here, it'll be up once I have all the pics and everything finished.  Using scraps to make a length of fabric to make a purse. 

Got the site registered with Yahoo and a couple of other places.  Hopefully it starts showing up in searches soon.  Still undecided about advertising on eBay, they've gotten so expensive.  Hoping the business on Etsy picks up soon.

Website Coming Along

Lots of work done on the website this weekend.  Got my shopping cart buttons made for everything and the pics all edited and resized.  Now Whiteblade just needs to put it all into Dreamweaver and upload it.  Tonight I might work on the portfolio part.

I need to find a photography class or something to help me take better pictures.  It seems like no matter what I try, my pictures never come out uniform.

Next project is a kimono-style lolita dress.  We've seen a few that are really cool, so that's what I'll be working on this week.  I also have a scrap fabric coat in the works, but that's going slowly.  I'll post pics when I can.
