This article is brought to you by Lizzsews Hey fellow crafters! Today I'm taking a small break from crafting articles to talk about a blog thief. I write my articles to share my expertise, my tips and tricks, project ideas based on what I'm creating, like my how I made article course  and what I have learned from trial and error.  I work hard to provide helpful and interesting content for all of you. I don't write this blog to 'get quick money', I make maybe 20 cents a day from google ads lol.  So, when I suddenly found my article online, copied word for word, with my photos, it broke my heart a little. But then once I looked further into it and found that not just one of my articles had been taken, but all of my articles since NOVEMBER 2020 had been stolen and copied word for word and all of my images, with no attribution, my heart was crushed. This blog thief has no contact information, meaning that I cannot send a cease and desist. I emailed the host of their ...

The end of the First World War: Monday, November 11, 1918; a day to be remembered forever.   First observed throughout the British commonwealth and known as Armistice Day. Commemorating the armistice agreement that ended the First World War.  More than 2,300,000 Canadians served in our nation's history and more than the 118,000 soldiers that gave their lives. We thank them and reflect. As well as thanks to those who did not fight in the war, but continued to serve our country by keeping it running.  Those that returned from war were never the same. They had to live with the scars of war, both mentally and physically.  Their sacrifices will not go unnoticed, they died for Canada and a future they believed in. We wear a poppy as a symbol for this day.  The First World War: Ypres, France, on April 22, 1915. The Canadians first major battle. The Germans used poison gas, about 150 tonnes of chlorine gas drifted over ...

 This article is brought to you by  Lizzsews . Blogs are a wonderful way to drive traffic to your shop, and/or to just write about what you're passionate about! But sometimes, you just don’t have that extra money in your budget to start a blog; here's how I started a blog for less than $20 a year. Recommended read:  Selling handmade products online First, let me start by saying that I’m not a website builder or an expert in the blogging field in any way. I’m just sharing how I started up my blog for minimal costs. There are so many hosting options to choose from when creating a blog. There are a few well-known free options, Wix, Wordpress.com and Blogspot/Blogger.  WordPress and Blogspot will both give you options for a free blog using a subdomain; I don't recommend it. Subdomains look tacky and make the URL too long. Yes, you do have to purchase a domain name to not have the tacky subdomain, but trust me, it’s worth it! -- If you start a blog with Blogspot/Blogger ...

From sewing, to embroidery, to painting, to sculpting and ceramics, to 3d printing, to Cricut-ing, there are endless possibilities to the crafts that you can make and sell! No matter the handmade product, if you’re interested in selling it, Etsy is a wonderful marketplace to do so. If you use this link right here, you can start up a shop on Etsy for free. It will give you, (and me!) 40 free listings to start up with. This accounts to $8 USD! A few of my tips for selling handmade products on Etsy:      1.

This is what your customer sees as the product, for they cannot touch or feel it.      - Take pictures that don’t have a very busy background     - The images should focus on your product     - Show the item being worn, he...

There’s a blizzard outside, But he has promises to keep. With cookies and milk, This trip should be a breeze, Hopefully the reindeer won’t freeze! He, Santa Claus, rises from his bed, Ready for the night ahead! Christmas sewing is - somewhat - enjoyable, And almost always last minute! The sounds of the machine echo Through the house.  From the first to the twenty-fifth, The sewing never stops! We sew tea towels, embroider terry cloths, Make pillowcases and more.  We have promises to keep, And until then we shall not sleep!
