Biz Ladies: Top Ten Etsy Web Apps on Design Sponge.  I use a couple of these now (I’m hooked on Craftopolis and love the Statsy Clockbot for renewing), but a few were new to me. 

Recommended Reading from Megan at Crafting an MBA.  I get Megan’s newsletter (sign up for it, you’ll be happy you did) and this week she wrote about reading business books.  It’s no secret that I read A LOT and this list is chock-full of useful business reads.  Looks like my library request list is about to grow!

A Status Update from Blogging With Amy (via SimplyStacie on Twitter).  This post has a great infographic about Facebook – it is AMAZING how many people are on Facebook every day.  This really makes me want to work harder on my page!


Make it
I Heart Craft Social Swap (via Sister Diane on Twitter).  I’ve never done a swap before, but this one for Valentine cards sounds really fun.

Fitting a Pencil Skirt from The Cupcake Goddess.  I’m taking advantage of some downtime in my Etsy shop to actually sew something for ME!  I’m making a simple pencil skirt and I’m using this info to help with fit.  Actually, there’s a trouser sew-along going on at the Cupcake Goddess now, so I may be convinced to make a pair of pants too.


Win It
