Things are really going well, not a lot of sales but lots of support thru friends and family. Since I opened up my etsy shop on Feb. 24th, I have had 20 sales on Etsy and about 20 custom orders thru friends. I now realize it takes literally hours of promoting just to bring in a little traffic. Face book has helped tremendously and I have recently been spending time in the etsy forums. I have joined a great Bns (wasn't really sure what a Bns was but again, i'm learning :)) I have been in several treasuries and I have had two items in the Etsy garden gift guide. I am so excited to have found a wonderful Country Garden Shop to sell my garden items too. I just shipped out my first alchemy bid order, 8 bridesmaides flower pots. I decided to enter the Martha Stewart wedding contest and submitted my picture today. All in all I am doing what I love to do and need to focus on the joy I get from my painting. I feel blessed to be able to pursue my dream. I had no idea how much work this would be, especially the computer stuff but it has forced me to learn and I have come a long way.
