I lOVE buying from there. And often buy my sister's presents through esty. I see you have a quilt pattern I'm interested in. I need to wait as I have a big project I'm working on. Good luck! I pray God greatly blesses this new avenue.

I’m not at all happy with Craftsy, now Bluprint, and have so little respect for them, The only business they’ll get from me is when I visit my pattern pages and already purchased classes now. Your work is beautiful, and I’m sure your patterns and finished projects will sell on Etsy. Good luck with that!

Faith seems more essential (like air) the older I get and the more our world is changing. I wish you well with your Etsy shop and hope this will prove to be a wonderful outlet for you. I was very disappointed in Craftsy...I had loved them from the beginning and will be letting my membership expire when it runs out (I tried to cancel, but they wouldn't give me a refund). The way you treat people ought to mean something and they treated the designers very poorly--no respect at all. So, all good wishes for you and thank you for being a shining light in the craft world!lvkwilthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09938695006852018109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7933496829993844316.post-58318222602779936982019-04-06T23:23:00.643+10:002019-04-06T23:23:00.643+10:00Sometimes Val, God slows us down a bit to cause us...Sometimes Val, God slows us down a bit to cause us to re-evaluate where we are going and why, and He always provides direction if we seek it!

In this time, I've enjoyed slowing a lot more slowly and actually enjoying the process rather than rush, rush, rush.<br /><br />Good luck with your Etsy store and market. I'm sure it'll be a success xxAnorina @SameliasMumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01210287822137630366noreply@blogger.com
