etsy on trial

by Filed Under: General

I have finally put some new active listings on etsy. Time to put etsy on trial. Again. It has been more than 4 or 5 years since I had an active store on etsy.

So today, the store really reopens. To start off, I have listed DISCOUNTED items – discounted up to 40%. That is a good way to celebrate a new possible path, right?

Etsy store – on trial

As selling is not my main focus, I am looking around for a reliable, safe, easy-to-manage way to conduct occasional sales.  Sure, I have my own store up and running – which comes with its own advantages and disadvantages. Same with Etsy.  Hence: etsy on trial.  I guess in a few months, I will be able to report back as to how this new experiment goes.

Meanwhile, if you get to read this in time, – a great time to celebrate with me and grab some huge discounts 😀

Wirework Tutorial and Nicole Hanna

by Filed Under: Artists Spotlight, General

I have only ever bought 2 online tutorials in my life. My virgin purchase was from Heather Collins (Butterfly Clasp tutorial). My second, a few days ago, was a wirework tutorial from Nicole Hanna.  I loved it so much I am about to get another one from Nicole Hanna.

Dear Nicole,

if you ever get to read this,

  1. thank you so much for the freebie tutorial and for the (paid) tutorial.  Enjoying it to bits!
  2. I am so sorry I called you the wrong name (in the Message to Seller box).  I had only just found you when I was compelled to buy your tutorial.  And my brain leaked the wrong name to me when addressing you!

Now after this wee status update, I am off to look for my next tutorial. That should keep me busy and out of trouble for the rest of the night! Ta-Ta!

Difference between a Bookshelf vs DVD Storage Shelf

by Filed Under: General

I know this is a crafty centric site, but as with almost all crafters – we are also hoarders.  And we always need storage storage storage.  I just bought myself a bookshelf.  It was really advertised as a DVD Storage Shelf.  But it did say it could also store books.  And apart from getting up to get my tape measure to figure out what the difference between them was, I just went ahead, bought it, got it, constructed it .. and now know the difference between the two.

ClearlyHelena Store Reopens after Homelessness

by Filed Under: General

Hi Everyone,
Just a quickie note to tell you that finally, ClearlyHelena Store has reopened.

Had to close on 23 Aug 2013 and was involved in a long process of selling and then desperately looking for a new home. Now at long last, we are almost almost settled and ready to go! A long process it has been – almost 6 months of homelessness!!!

 

Sorry for any inconvenience caused. There might still be a few unexpected hiccups as I am still in the midst of sorting and organising – so please be a bit indulgent for a bit longer. Many thanks!

Announcement: ClearlyHelena store closed

This is just a quickie posting to let you all know that as of today, ClearlyHelena store has to closed due to my almost-homeless status. This blog however will remain open with new postings, free patterns, tutorials, and diy notes.

 

ClearlyHelena Store only – temporarily closed

We are moving home and moving states and while things are a-tumbling and a-juggling up in the air, the store has to be closed as there is no way I can service your orders.  Yes, I know – sob. [Read more…]

ClearlyHelena moves to WordPress

ClearlyHelena to WordPress

ClearlyHelena moves to WordPress

As I have been saying over at NetWebbing.com in Internet Marketing Success – Core Essentials, WordPress is the platform recommended by most internet gurus.  So naturally, I had to move ClearlyHelena to WordPress.

However that produces a few (short-term) problems.  For one thing, what about all my posts I had already done?  For another, you may get bored?  But …

Repetition Is Key to Remembrance!

Yes, I made that up.  That doesn’t mean it is not true though.
