Naming website and online store

This is a request for all my online friends and contacts…I have closed my Etsy store and my own website to regroup and decide on a better name for my work than Bevs Huggables as my creations are much more than stuffed toys now. I make handbags, totes, pillowcases, pillows, doll clothes, baby items, knitting, crocheting, photo cards and more. My personal opinion is that people don’t look at my site or store because they have no need or want of things pertaining to toys. Maybe, canceling was a bit drastic, but it is a motivator. I do have others that are not so much in the public eye so no sales but promotional non the less. I have two stores on Blujay one is for my handmade items http://bevshuggables.blujay.com the other is for my years at accumulating collectibles and non handmade items http://YourTurn.blujay.com a handful of sales there but they are FREE. At this time in our lives we are downsizing our things for our big move in about 6 years back to Maine where the majority of our family live. We are on a very fixed income and watch all that we spend. I can not justify paying for a site with my husbands hard earned money, especially with no sales in return. This is not a pity me…I am looking for NAME suggestions to help my tired Senior mind that has Senior moments. I know when I describe my site it sounds more personal than professional. Marketing and promoting, describing are my very weak points. At this time I too figure this a hobby not a business, but still want a suitable name. Look at my photo albums to get an idea what I create so you will have something to formulate your opinions on. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Blessings, Bev

Review on some Etsy stores

Review on some Etsy stores

I have been lax in doing my simple reviews on Etys stores. I was just browsing through my favoraite and found this store that just amazes me so will do a few today.

nek2c has a store that amazes me. She creates dolls with Polymer Clay that are under a couple of inches! I don’t usually use photo’s but couldn’t resist this one. She is 2 1/4 inch tall, about 1 1/2 inch wide from knee to toes. Such detail goes into forming these darlings.

http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=6466368 will take you to more photos of this cute fairy.

Sunshine is less than 3 inches. Her tiny crocheted outfits will fit 3-4 inch dolls. This ladies talent is truly amazing.

Rose & Thistle Artworks is another crafter that tuggs at my heart strings. She can needle felt wool into the most adorable realistic animals!

This Boston Terrier is just unbelievable! Just so realistic.

This photo shows five different animals that she makes.

This is of a large sized horse 7-9 inch.

Her small woolies are 1-4 inches!!!

Clay mermaid about 5 1/5 inch long. She has much more like magnets, pendants and beads. Another must to check out.

Bumpkin is yet another crafter that truly grabs my creative heart! Check out this pony 4 inch and bear 3 inch below and see link for more details.

This adorable watercolor painting along with this one. Check store for other items of interest.
