I am a senior citizen. Soon to be 75 years old. I have raised 4 children-3 Boys and 1 Girl.
I have been involved in crafts in some way since school days.
I have done ceramics, porcelain doll making, sewn ladies lingerie, did oil paintings and now do sewing for children and also do crochet.
By the way I was voted Winner of the Most Original Clothing Designs by The About.com Readers Choice Awards for my designs.
My husband does most of the housework and grocery shopping so I will have the time to do my sewing and things. He is a great person and friend.
I do dog sitting for my son’s SharPei while he is at work in the mornings.
I do something which most folks don’t know much about and that is canning.
We make jelly. We have a blueberry and elderberry patch and we pick our berries and make our own jelly. Something I learned from my Dear Mother.
My mother was a seamstress. She did beautiful work and my inspiration comes from having her as a mother.
I look up to God and not a person. I look to Him for guidance and direction.
Staying healthy by eating healthy.
The price and also the friendship of all the people on Zibbet including the staff.
The listing process is very easy compared to some of the others.
I will have to think on that one- It is a pretty good site as it is right now.
Each time I list an item I upload it to Facebook and also to Twitter. Sometimes I just go in and re upload some that are already there. I also have a blog.
Due to my age I am not as familiar with things on the Internet as a lot of younger folks so am limited to the thngs I have learned from others on here. I also use Kaboodle and a couple more that only Zibbet still offers.
LIst,List,List!
The more items you have on your shop the better chance of selling.
I have fallen behind in this myself and need to improve on it.
well, I would like to be able to improve my pictures and get more items listed, promote more and get more sewing done.
I LOVE TO SEW FOR CHILDREN!
I have Introduced some new designs just recently and need to get them listed on Zibbet.
