I feel you girl! I've been blessed to this year on Etsy. I have great sales but once it gets over like 20 orders I start feeling like I'm drowning because its lots of cutting fabric and sewing ETC. I started using those clear holders like you and they have helped me. Also too I totally hear you about balancing life. I homeschool, run my shop, trying to get on this youtube train, church, being a wife. It gets crazy but know your not alone! I love watching your channel and love your drive! Keep doing it girl!!! We are cheering you on!
You ladies that do all this are such an inspiration! I’m a Gramma to seven beautiful (most are grown) kids and didnt start doing crafts (crochet, sew, keyfobs) till about three yrs ago. I get exhausted just thinking about the hard work that goes into these craft markets. Especially caring for children in the meantime! My advice to my grandkids is “Work hard while youre young so you can enjoy your life even more when youre old!”. Get the kids involved and pay them a small wage so they get the hang of earning money. They love being included usually. God bless all the hard working moms and dads out there!
That's what small business is all about.. creating your own job and then eventually creating other jobs!! Congratulations on growing your business!! I aspire to be like you and your work ethic!! You're great!!
So happy for your busy schedule!! Can you please share a step by step video of how you list an item. From sample completion to photos to seo or hashtags!
I was exhausted just watching you. It definitely looks like you could use some help. Getting your brother to help will let you be even more productive and offset any cost of having someone else on your "payroll".
Sometimes watching your videos I feel your overwhelming, your excitement or just your feelings! Just know that all that you’re dealing with is only preparing you for all that you prayed for and even things that you may have forgotten that you did It’s unfortunate that some things (especially with the mail system ) didn’t work out, but it will in the end With your T-shirt designs is there any that you create or do you get them from Etsy? Loved the hour long “Work With Me” video
When dropping of packages i stopped leaving them on the side and started using the self kiosk that way you can scan it and get a receipt and drop it in the drum or take it to the side of the registers. Here at my post office they never have a line to use the kiosk. It helps the customer know you dropped it off and from there it's up to post office.
LOVE the work with me "chatty" videos - Iike to listen when I'm working on my laptop, and if it's a video with just music and I have to keep watching to see what's going on - I move on to a different video (or I don't accomplish any work)...you are working so hard! Great job and great video!! Thank you!!
Hi. I admire you so much. U are a strong woman 💪🏼I know how hard it is to have a home made business and caring for your family and household. I have days when Im burned out and have to push myself to go on. You are doing fantastic job. Go Girl!!!!!
I love how embrace full and resilient you are with everything that you do. You show the suck, hard work and the reward that comes with it. It is really inspiring.
Ohhh girl!!! Get it!!!!! You’re doing amazing!!!! You’re blowing up!!! Lol I feel you on the energy haha I have none! I’m getting a new sewing machine too!!! I been slowly working on things to open up my Etsy again!!! You’re def giving me that motivation ❤️ anyways much love and keep it going love!!!!
I'm so happy with your big orders. I've been a silent subscriber since you had 3k and I'm just so happy to see you grow in all aspect. Such an inspiration.:)
We've been experiencing the same with our etsy shop and on Jane. On etsy I dropped my advertisement to $15 from $30. I'm not even sure what's going on, but I'm grateful for it. Also we've been experiencing things not scanning in for a few days. Especially if your using a scan sheet.
That's awesome that your business is taking off! I remember watching you when you mostly made baby blankets and then when you started making kids shirts! It sounds like you focusing on social media has also helped you grow. I want to do the same but it is hard to focus on doing that when I have a full-time job. Thank you for sharing your journey with us and I can't wait to see what you do next!
I’m busting out orders ASAP so I feel ya. I have to ask do you make the shirts & pants. They are so cute. Some of my stuff is ordered then I do my thing on it. Your the Boss Babe! 😀
Hey Neita, I completely understand the struggle with excess Etsy shop orders . What I've tried is taking everything for the entire next week and further if you can on Thurs and Fridays, cut everything I need, make sure I have enough inventory for that weeks orders and design all the files needed for all those orders. ( Especially if you need to order something hopefully this will allow enough time)Then actually work on orders for the next week on Fridays and Mondays even if I stay up late. This has really helped my overall sanity especially since I work full-time also. Hope that helps in anyway. I truly am praying for your continued success and hope you achieve all your goals friend☺️!! Keep hustlin!!!!!!
Hi Neita....wow....you go girl......impressed with you and how you work with the lil ones.....I know you don't remember me, but you've answered a few ? before and I always forget to tell you....I think we are neighbors...I thought I remember you saying you were from Northern Cali....Well if that's true....I am too....I won't say too much more....but I am bout an hour from you if we are both from N. Cal.....Anyway a quick question or two....I know you add the tender touch after to help with the scratching....and it doesn't show much after that, but do you carefully cut around the embroidery design on back around the TT....or just leave it as a small square? Also....someone told me also that I should not be using cut away stabilizer if/when I make small shirts/onsies.....that if you wear it the tear away will eventually disolve and I should be using cut away.....Just purchased some lil onesies for my grandson and am going to try to make some for him.....I know you are the queen of lil kids shirts....so what do you use ? Oh, one more ? Do you think I can just iron on Tender touch? Don't have a press.....
Scene 50:02....Neita, I know my post office has a kiosk where you can scan your order items and it will show the item was dropped off/received. I also print my receipts as proof i scanned and dropped off my items. Im sure your 📫 post office has a Kiosk.
I love your silver sewing machine! I am a beginner and just got a secondhand brother machine. It seems like i have only had problem after problem with it. Is there a good low-cost starter sewing machine you would recommend? Thanks a ton! I want to add that your videos are so informative, motivating, and i could honestly watch them all day lol!
Your products are all super cute, but I felt like most of the video you're complaining about how stressed you are. I totally get it. At the beginning of the fall, my college/football shirt orders took off and at one point I had over 80 open orders while I was also working full-time as a teacher (during the insane delta variant spike of 2021). My suggestion to you is to make your processing time a little longer. Give yourself the time you need to make the orders and not get stressed. Once I started giving myself a processing time of up to 3 weeks, I got so much less stressed out about Etsy. There's too much stress in our lives as it is and this creative outlet that we use to de-stress from "real life" doesn't need to be one more thing.
With certain designs its easier for me to just use vinyl and its quicker when it's just one or two colors. I don't know how to use the dtf printer so I have to wait around for my husband to make prints for me. He works a full time job on top of selling dtf prints and I just don't have the time to try and learn how to use the printer. 😫
@@NeitaFajita understood. I bought a vinyl printer in November and have not turned it on once because I’ve been so busy, so I totally get it. I got to make time!
Awesome job!! Why don’t you serge on your tags when you’re attaching the waist band. That’s what I do l. That way you don’t have to add an extra step by sewing them on.
And usually when it’s overseas they don’t update it til they drop it off…. I sent one to Germany once and to Japan and I thought it was lost and when I msg them to see if they ever got it they said they did
Lady bug fabric I purchased from Joanns and the donut fabric you can purchase from Etsy (I purchase mine wholesale from Alibaba and I don't share my supplier)
I just found you,loved video. I’m 76 new great granddaughter. I thought to mak Ember hair bands and bows ( she’s only a month) then I thought Mabe I could market some bows just on Facebook marketplace in my area supplement my Social Security. How can I print nice card like you did on video to display products.Do you like Nonnies Creations or Mabe Lori’s Creation

I don't know how you do it Neita. I am pooped by 9:30 pm. Keep up the great work.
So happy for you that you are seeing results from your hard work! How crazy is it that you are starting to think that you might want to get help?!
Love you’re so busy with your orders. Love all your designs especially the love bug one. Can you say where you got it, please. Thank you.
I believe I purchased that one from etsy
@@NeitaFajita Thank you.
You are amazing 🥂🥂
Thank you!
I love your videos. Where do you get your embroidery designs? I want to make some stuff for my grandson
I get some off etsy, designs by juju, embroidery boutique, or I design my own
You go girl!!👍😁
When do you stop with the valentine's day orders?
Hi Neita....wow....you go girl......impressed with you and how you work with the lil ones.....I know you don't remember me, but you've answered a few ? before and I always forget to tell you....I think we are neighbors...I thought I remember you saying you were from Northern Cali....Well if that's true....I am too....I won't say too much more....but I am bout an hour from you if we are both from N.

When someone ask to return, I always ask for a picture of the item they wish to return. That was I can see condition before approving the return.
Scene 50:02....Neita, I know my post office has a kiosk where you can scan your order items and it will show the item was dropped off/received. I also print my receipts as proof i scanned and dropped off my items. Im sure your 📫 post office has a Kiosk.
Where did you get the plastic envelopes for orders please?
amzn.to/3A5AlNa
Ty!
Cutting takes a long time you can probably invest in an electric scissors. You do great work
I actually bought some a couple days ago and they are coming today in the mail! I'm so excited
I love your silver sewing machine! I am a beginner and just got a secondhand brother machine. It seems like i have only had problem after problem with it. Is there a good low-cost starter sewing machine you would recommend? Thanks a ton! I want to add that your videos are so informative, motivating, and i could honestly watch them all day lol!
I would love to know where you got your order envelopes from. I need to be way more organized with orders processing for shipping.
amzn.to/3A5AlNa
I love these envelopes! They help so much
@@NeitaFajita thank you!

Can you do a video on how you add your tags to your shirts. I think mine looks awkward so I’ve been stamping
It's funny how every time I say "it doesn't take long" , it takes me forever and turns into another project lol
Oh congrats on the sponsor videos!😀🎉🎊
I’m happy you are so busy. But why are you still using Vinyl when you have DTF?
With certain designs its easier for me to just use vinyl and its quicker when it's just one or two colors. I don't know how to use the dtf printer so I have to wait around for my husband to make prints for me. He works a full time job on top of selling dtf prints and I just don't have the time to try and learn how to use the printer. 😫
@@NeitaFajita understood. I bought a vinyl printer in November and have not turned it on once because I’ve been so busy, so I totally get it. I got to make time!
I wish i live close by so i can work for you. 😁
Awesome job!! Why don’t you serge on your tags when you’re attaching the waist band. That’s what I do l. That way you don’t have to add an extra step by sewing them on.

Is your labels specially made?
Where you get the clear pockets envelope from
Yesss I hate putting things away... such a time waster 🤣
Do you sell these online (other than on Etsy)?
I have some listed on my website but I definitely need to take some time and get more listed on my website
Hi! Follow your guaranteed money which is your orders.
Craft fairs are great if you have extra time , but not worth it . If I was in your position I would not be doing them.
Where do you buy a donut and a lady bug fabric ?
Lady bug fabric I purchased from Joanns and the donut fabric you can purchase from Etsy (I purchase mine wholesale from Alibaba and I don't share my supplier)
@Neita Fajita, do you need an EIN to order from Alibaba?
When my packages don't get scanned I open a missing package report on the usps website....and everytime somehow it magically appears somewhere
If you get another multi-needle, do you know what brand you are going to get? Is there a BAI that goes faster?
I plan on getting another BAI. They are coming out with a new model around March so I'm saving up to buy that machine or another Vision Model.
where do you get envelopes that you hold orders in please
Clear Envelopes For Orders: amzn.to/3A5AlNa
You can also find them at the Dollar Tree in the school and book supplies.
Skip the market. It's a better use of your time to work on orders, do new things or recharge your batteries.
❤❤❤
I hate when the post office doesn't scan in the packages. I mean really?!
It stresses me out sooo much! It still says pretransit and I dropped it off on the 24th 😩
I have this happen all the time now. Even when I have USPS pick up on the website. Never was this bad.
If you have the option of DTF, you shouldn't be wasting money on HTV.
With certain designs, it's faster, easier, and cheaper to use htv than DTF printing
I just found you,loved video. I’m 76 new great granddaughter. I thought to mak Ember hair bands and bows ( she’s only a month) then I thought Mabe I could market some bows just on Facebook marketplace in my area supplement my Social Security. How can I print nice card like you did on video to display products.Do you like Nonnies Creations or Mabe Lori’s Creation
please reply me?
Just replied to your question ❤
Great job Neita, keep up the great work, but try and grab sleep too
