WEEKLY CHALLENGE list 1 item a week for Aug 9 - 15

Original Post
Sometimes it's nice to challenge yourself to accomplish a task you might otherwise not do.
Here's an opportunity to challenge yourself to craft an item a week.
The daily listing challenge has been proven by numerous etsy sellers, including myself, to be a very effective tool to increase views and sales, but sometimes life can get very busy and keeping up to a daily challenge isn't always feasible.
On a less aggressive scale, the Weekly Challenge will still improve views and sales, but prove less stressful for those of us with families and work responsibilities.
The challenge is to post an item listing once a week but it is totally understandable that not all sellers can create quick and easy projects that can be finished in a week's time.
Ultimately, displaying a finished project as a listing and adding it to the thread list is the ideal goal.
*But it can also be displaying a "in progress" project, which encourages participation and gets us all moving in the direction of completing new items.
Display a project “in progress” on Facebook, Flickr, a blog or any photo website you have access to that you can share a link to show us your project of the week in progress.
This is a great opportunity to not only challenge yourself weekly in a new direction, but to increase your flow of creativity, your views and hopefully most importantly your sales.
“The Weekly Challenge” can be a color, a shape, a theme, or anything we, as a group, can think of as a guideline to be creative and inspire each other.
Good Luck and Have Fun!

Yes, I'd love to join and my newest item is a shade of blue -- does aqua count? Just squeaking in under the wire.
Bright and fanciful cozy to start a dull day -

If purple is next week's color, that's truly incentive for me to get to work on a shrug I started. Wonder if I can finish it in time??

Hi LovenYarn!
Great to see you and I'm so glad you could join us.
I'll add your entry for the BLUE challenge to the treasury.
Yes, I do think that PURPLE maybe the color of the upcomming week. I'll go and check the poll on my blog and see how it's looking for purple today.
