I would like to put my very detailed Spanish homecraft magazines in there as well!
Hi Jude, thanks for commenting...maybe the "hold" won't last too long. I've got a new "about me page", through the talent & efforts of Jan/JewelEffects [take a look], and I feel a little spring cleaning coming on. I would love to go through my auctions, one by one, & redo them. Get them where they can be seen easier.

I agree that a specific category would be preferable to "Other" but I don't think finished cross-stitch cards should go into the cross-stitch supplies category - if I were shopping for something like that, I would look in the "Handmade" category. But a sub-category there for all finished cross-stitch items (not just cards, but also cushions, spectacle cases, etc) would be good.
It might be a good idea to have a 'first level' category for 'Hand Made items' then subs for various things - needlework, metalwork, art, etc etc.?

I copied this to show the Sub Cats under Crafts & Sewing. Why can't Cross Stitch have it's own sub cat too. If you wanted to, you could put most of these under Hand-Made Goods. I just hate to see cross stitch items spread out in more then one cat. The finished pieces I talked about are pieces that need to be framed or are framed, ornaments, bookmarks, magnets,etc.
Continued, too many characters for one post.
Anyway these are my thoughts for today. May have more later. I used to list these cross stitch cards on the other side and they would sell maybe 5 out of 6 in 7 days. The only cross stitch cards [1] I've sold here was in the YDC, and I've had them listed since I've been here. I know you have to "plug" your auctions but, you get a little discouraged after a while. I like my cards and put a lot of work and effort into making them and I just don't believe they are being seen. Ok, enough for now.
What's the general consensus. Should Cross Stitching be moved up a level, does it fit in with our current structure? will it confuse? does it misalign things?
We want to keep things as stuctured as possible, if we move Cross Stitch would we have to move others? Should we move Needlpoint & others down?
Let us know the exact changes needed, if it is just to move the once cat up a level then we can do that v.quickly.
