The Hardest Part of Etsy

Being in love with a new product doesn't mean you know how to photograph it.  I designed a (super cute) bowtie onesie with a "pick your own color" option.  I fell in love with it.  Then I realized I'd have to photograph it.  I'm going to be honest, I'm a terrible photographer.  My husband literally cringes when I pick up the camera.  If you want an unflattering photo, just give me a call.

Since Etsy is a visual marketplace, this is a serious problem for me.  Photos are make it or break it and many times mine fall short.  Anyway, I had to solve this problem of a great product with an unreasonable amount of options.  *Cringe*  Here's my best...

A Deliciously Funny Costume

So, you are pregnant.  You have definite food restrictions and even more pronounced cravings.  The two can be mutually exclusive, and tortuous!  When I was preggers with the last little one I WANTED SUSHI.  I wanted it in a way that only a hormonal woman could, desperately.  I didn't give in and I certainly didn't forget my insane craving.

Enter Halloween.  I have a 5 month old and a sick sense of humor.  In addition, an overabundance of felt, onesies and nostalgia for handmade costumes.  Can I make my little nugget into the biggest piece of sushi I've ever seen?  Yes.  I can, I will and I did.
