the shop is open!

After many months of planning and preparation

(a.k.a. procrastination and perfectionism),

my Etsy shop is up and running!

I found that I was waiting until I

had fully developed and stocked the shop before

putting it online. However, there's no good way

to develop something that hasn't started.

So I kicked it off with what I had on hand,

and I'm in the process of sewing up

more diaper clutches and the like.

Stop on by and check it out!

the labels are in!!

My beautiful labels have arrived!!

I ordered these from etsy shop eyluldesign. They were a great

deal, costing only $50 for the whole batch of 500, including

laser cut edges, free shipping, and no set-up fees. 

Communication was a bit sparse, as the owner doesn't likely 

speak English, and I don't speak a lick of Turkish. 

But I really like how they turned out!

I'm now contemplating some little labels to tuck into side seams

as well as making labels for my fabulous church so the towels 

and aprons that go home to get washed won't be lost in the shuffle.

the logos are in!!

Steve Yeakley of Merdeka Studios dreamed up these

beautiful logos for my little business.

I totally love them! Can't wait to turn 'em

into labels, tags, business cards, etc., etc.

Thanks, Steve!

guess what came in the mail today!

You got it! 

Like I said, it's very basic.

But I think it'll make for cute fabric labels.

I'm tempted to go around the house stamping everything
to see what my little logo looks like on each surface....

This stamp-making thing could be addictive.

logo development

 

Hello, friends! Welcome to my new blog!!

As I weather this journey of starting my etsy shop, I thought it would be fun 

(on my friend Julie's recommendation) to include you in the adventure.

This process turns out to be more involved than I anticipated and is also 

complicated by my own fears and perfectionistic tendencies. But here we go!

I have officially named my little (eensy weensy) shop "Seneca Street Studios."

In the interest of getting things moving along, I have been working to develop

a temporary logo. Pictured above are samples I scanned into the computer

to work with. On Monday, I ordered a stamp of the shop name from

RubberStamps.net for making tags and labels. It should come any day now!
