In less than 30 hours, my post on pricing handmade goods has received almost 4500 views, been pinned and repinned dozens of times on Pinterest, and been shared on Facebook numerous times. It quickly became the #1 post on my blog with #2 only having 1430 views.
I'm thrilled that so many people are reading it and realizing how underpaid most artisans really are. Handmade work can be somewhat unappreciated at times, and I think it's great that so many are realizing just how much time and money go into a handmade work of art, be it clothing, photography, jewelry making, or any other art form.
Since I'm here, I might as well mention a few other things too!
First, Tiny Blue Lines interviewed me for a post about being a young mom! You can read it here.
Also, did you notice the change in my blog header and Facebook page? I'm in the process of redesigning my blog and am excited to be getting a new look. I haven't done much to change my blog since I started it almost 4 years ago, and I think it's time to update! I decided to go with a blue and yellow theme since those are two of my favorite colors together and were also the colors of my wedding (Coincidence? Probably not, haha). Oh, and did I mention that there's going to be chevron? I know I'm not the only chevron addict out here! I was going to update my blog background and template yesterday, but with so much traffic on the blog, I thought it might be best to wait :)

ReplyDeleteButton, button, I'd like a blog button. If in your redesigning you make a blog button I'd like to place it on my page.

Your post about handmade clothing was very well written. I am glad it got so many views for you.
I hadn't thought about making a blog button, but thanks to your suggestion, I'll add that to my list! Thanks!
