But first a little of the work in progress.
And now the flower, almost finished
and finally the necklace that I sold
I took the advice of a mad snapper about wearing one of my necklaces to work. I actually wore two different ones. Of course on different days, not at the same time. Everyone said how nice but nothing much else. THEN, a couple weeks later one of the girls asked me if I could make a sunflower. I ran home, made one, went back to work and said yes I can make a sunflower. I took her in the necklace to show her and she bought it. Yeah me.

Good for you. You could set up a shop and sell online too. Empress Bee does that and many of us buy her beautiful beads. Here's her link if you want to check it out. BEEds by Bee
Have a terrific day. My best to Duke. :)
High five there, girl!
That is really exciting news! It was beautiful too!
MadSnapper is a smart lady... You truly could open a little store---IF you wanted to. You do gorgeous work. Love that necklace.... WOW!!!!
Congrats.
Hugs,
Betsy
Way to go lady...they are really so cute they sell themselves! ;D
Congratulations! Hope that is the first step to opening up an Etsy shop so you can sell even more!
Yea YOU, Ann!!! Half of the hard work in selling your wares is having the confidence in yourself and your work. You make LOVELY things!!
It is beautiful!! I have seen lots of your things that I would like to buy, let me know if you are ever selling and mailing out!! I would have to scroll back in your posts and look at everything, but I just love everything you make!!!
Congrats! Isn't it fun to make a little extra dollars from your hobby! Next step esty.
Ann you make such lovely things you should really sell them online. Perhaps start with a few on this blog and then build up your own online shop - or open up a joint online shop with someone else and perhaps agree to split the profits 50/50 (less hastle than working out who sells what) ... I think you should do marvellously! ... I'll watch this space. :)
YAY! Sold is a nice word :)
Told you so.. you SHOULD have an etsy store :) you are very good.
I've been telling you and telling you to sell some of your creations! I still think taking orders for quilled initials is a slam dunk - quilled initial on a necklace???
snap edit scrap ETSY...I see it already.
I agree the hardest part is the selling. I hate taking money {especially from friends and family} but we need supplies.
yes MadSnapper is a smart cookie
congrats Ann, happy for ya! here's to many, many more :D :D
have u ever made a dog from quilling?
What talent - I could never in a million years do that! What's next on the creating table?
All the best, Katie from

Congrats to you! For the sale and for being pro-active! Yay, you! :) xx
That's brilliant, Ann - what a result! The pendant looks great, and your photos provide a brilliant tutorial on how to get petals evenly spaced around a flower centre.
Great job Ann. You are on your way to becoming an entrepreneur. You would probably do well with an etsy shop.
You go girl - Woo! It's a great feeling, isn't it? I'm proud of you chickie :oD
That is fantastic Ann. Good for you. We are excited. That is a really pretty necklace. Now you need to get an Etsy page. See your stuff is really good stuff. Keep working at it. Have a fun day. Big hugs to Duke.
Wonderful!!! I hope Duke is keeping track of how much you owe us.
Wow this is beautiful - good for you - you did a wonderful job tfs!!!
