how big do your cross stitches turn out?

you can modify the sizes by changing the patterns.. you can also specify.. I can make them 11, 14 18 count or 22..

On average I use 14 count. and they're about 5x8 inches, but I can do any size.

Confidence is a virtue.

I was going to look at your tiles, but Etsy is having a cow at the moment, so I'll have to try again later.

I've been "in business" for over a month.  I've had success with custom orders from word of mouth, but not much is happening in the Etsy shop.  I'm not discouraged yet, because I know it will take time, but I am starting to think that discouragement is on the horizon.

Any tips on the shop?  Or suggestions for ways to promote?

Those are super cute!  Don't lower the price!  I think $6 may even be a little too low!

DO NOT LOWER THE PRICE! Those are adorable! How big are they? Could they be used as a trivet/hot plate or maybe a coaster for a hot cup of coffee?  I have a piece of tile on my desk at work that I use as a coaster and it protects the desk from the heat that's what made me think of this marketing ploy....

I agree!!! Don't lower the price...it's way too cute! And the cupcakes are toooo adorable!!!!!

I just thought of something else.... list one in pottery and ceramics and the other in housewares that way you cast a wider net and might bring more people to your shop....

Your shop is great! No doubt things will start to pick up for you soon. Just promote your shop more, and it will happen. I love your work.
