A new catagory for finished cross stitch pieces

[TreasuredBargains]

Re Handmade Goods - have been thinking it would make more sense to classify the cards by occasion rather than technique.

Crafts & Sewing>Handmade Goods>Cards>Birthday
Crafts & Sewing>Handmade Goods>Cards>Baby
Crafts & Sewing>Handmade Goods>Cards>Wedding
Crafts & Sewing>Handmade Goods>Cards>Anniversary
Crafts & Sewing>Handmade Goods>Cards>Valentines Day
Crafts & Sewing>Handmade Goods>Cards>Mothers Day
Crafts & Sewing>Handmade Goods>Cards>Easter
Crafts & Sewing>Handmade Goods>Cards>Christmas
Crafts & Sewing>Handmade Goods>Cards>Get Well
Crafts & Sewing>Handmade Goods>Cards>Sympathy
Crafts & Sewing>Handmade Goods>Cards>General/Other

Too much?

I'm not sure...

what about Fathers Day...and... Thank you, Congratulations etc...

But then again I don't have much preference as to how its split, because I always list my handmade cards in the greeting cards category where I think people are more likely to look for a card...

This is what the handmade cat would look like....with Fathers day etc added...I actually prefer this way:

Crafts & Sewing>Handmade Goods>Cards>Birthday
Crafts & Sewing>Handmade Goods>Cards>Baby
Crafts & Sewing>Handmade Goods>Cards>Congratulations
Crafts & Sewing>Handmade Goods>Cards>Thank you
Crafts & Sewing>Handmade Goods>Cards>Wedding
Crafts & Sewing>Handmade Goods>Cards>Anniversary
Crafts & Sewing>Handmade Goods>Cards>Valentines Day
Crafts & Sewing>Handmade Goods>Cards>Mothers Day
Crafts & Sewing>Handmade Goods>Cards>Fathers Day
Crafts & Sewing>Handmade Goods>Cards>Easter
Crafts & Sewing>Handmade Goods>Cards>Christmas
Crafts & Sewing>Handmade Goods>Cards>Get Well
Crafts & Sewing>Handmade Goods>Cards>Sympathy
Crafts & Sewing>Handmade Goods>Cards>General/Other
Crafts and Sewing>Handmade Goods>Handpainted
Crafts and Sewing>Handmade Goods>Needlework>Cross-stitch
Crafts and Sewing>Handmade Goods>Needlework>Tapestry/Needlepoint
Crafts and Sewing>Handmade Goods>Needlework>Embroidery
Crafts and Sewing>Handmade Goods>Needlework>Other
Crafts and Sewing>Handmade Goods>Knitted/Crochet
Crafts and Sewing>Handmade Goods>Lace
Crafts and Sewing>Handmade Goods>Jewellery
Crafts and Sewing>Handmade Goods>Clay/Salt-dough
Crafts and Sewing>Handmade Goods>Other


I don't think its too much because when you click on the Handmade goods cat you would only see

Handmade goods>Cards
Handmade goods>Handpainted
Handmade goods>Needlework
Handmade goods>Knitted/Crochet
Handmade goods>Lace
Handmade goods>Jewellery
Handmade goods>Clay/Saltdough
Handmade goods>Other

Each sub cat would only be broken down when you click through...

Makes sense to me. Good that those who use the categories imput on how the divisions should go. While I myself hate lots of divisions, this is a very popular area and those cats will fill up fast. Handmade cards are an especially hot crafting item nowadays.

Lets wait a bit more, to see if someone else has any additions.

Shame on me for forgetting about the Dads!
I had intended General to cover thank you, congrats, good luck, etc. Wasn't sure whether to have General instead of Other or as well as.

Will there be a party?

Don't want to sound ungrateful but categories are not actually where we asked. Plastic Canvas has its own subcat, as does Needlepoint, but cross-stitch, embroidery and tapestry have been put under Sewing & Embroidery.
Think it had been agreed that tapestry and needlepoint were the same thing, and everyone had wanted all the needlework categories together, but separate from Sewing?

But thanks for updating Handmade Goods!
