Let's discuss the intent / direction of this section - Page 6 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

DBlain · 03-09-2013, 08:48 PM

This is freaking hilarious, one thread per week of an 80% finished item. Why not just kill the section then, talk about boring

, if it was not for Aymee posting pictures there would be hardly anything to look at here. I am happy that I am on a bunch of fashion pages on facebook so I can see stuff there. Most of the stuff I look at on FB is for sale, but who cares I don't buy it but I sure like getting ideas and looking at pretty pictures. But I guess here at YT we need to be protected from those hard talking, hard selling fashion peddlers.

So I guess it's ok to post a zillion pictures of Joel or Oscar, but heaven forbid someone post more than one thread a week of what they have made because someone might be tempted to ask to buy it.

you know the funny thing is that posting pictures on YT takes a lot more effort than sharing them on FB so I am surprised people even want to make the effort here since it is obvious that there are a few people behind the scenes complaining. And for those of you that did

shame on you for ruining it for those of us that enjoy looking at items regardless if it may or may not be for sale.

I would be lying if I said I wasn't sad about the new rules too but what can ya do? I guess I'd rather follow the rules and still get to share a fraction of my passion for sewing than not share anything at all. I can see both sides of the opinions here but it still makes me sad. I guess I'll have to find a sewing forum too so I can share with other sewing enthusiasts although they might think I'm nuts for loving to sew fo dogs as I do. Lol.

I am sad Aymee too...I loved looking at your ideas. Do you have a facebook page that you could post too? I would love to add it to my friends/interests lists if you do so I can stay up on all your new stuff.

I have my things posted under my own personal Facebook account. I need to start another one just for sewing and the Y2H stuff. I'll try and do that ASAP. But for now, I'm Aymee Fretwell Gandy on FB.

I've had people tell me they have trouble finding me but I do follow the Yorkie Talk fb feed so you might can find me on their subscriber list easier.

Amyee! Why didn't I put the dress for auction and your name together? The one with feathers!! I'm gonna friend you too if you dont mind!

southernbelle04 · 03-09-2013, 09:35 PM

I created a page for my clothing too. Mind you it's bare right now. I'll work on it this week.

My lil friend · 03-09-2013, 09:54 PM

WOW! REALLY!! Im just seeing this. I dont understand the problem,never saw a problem with this particular forum. For those of us that enjoy creating for our babys it was a wonderful outlet to share.

JasmineNoelle · 03-09-2013, 10:01 PM

This is sad, I don't post often, but I love looking at all the wonderful things that people have made. Too bad.

Aymee your grace in all of this just speaks to the wonderful and sweet person you are. I wish others would be the same way. I will continue to order from you and post my pictures because your work is beautiful not to mention the great customer service

Glad I can check out your work on Etsy

I couldn't have said it better! I love Aymee and all her creations!

Lil Sis · 03-10-2013, 03:26 AM

I think amyee's talent has grown a lot. I love looking at her dresses. BUT...the bottom line is this is a fashion forum and the lines between fashion and sell have been blurred. It doesn't really bother me because I could choose or choose not to click on her post..but because of the blurring of the rules I am sure it bothern some.

We have to think.. if we let this rule blur how does admin enforce other rules?

So the question is, can Amyee post in pictures? Where should she post? If I posted pictures of quilts I made (and do sell from time to time) where should I post ..even if that quilt is not for sell?

This site is for the joy of us all and I hope we can find a way to make all happy.. or at least have the guide lines to keep us under control

negative is not good

rilysmom · 03-10-2013, 04:42 AM

As I said, I love seeing all the pretty creations in this section; plus showing off my own, but I have to agree with Ann. Ten a week is still too many. That is too close to marketing and this section is not for marketing anyone's items. I'm not picking on you, Aymee, so please don't take my post that way. It is just that if we all posted 10 items a week, then this would become a marketing section with no rules. I love Aymee's creations....I have a couple of her dresses and I love them. Although I sew, I will probably buy more dresses from her in the future because I love her flair...Aymee, you are very talented!

GeorgiesMomma · 03-10-2013, 04:49 AM

I don't think when Aymee posts pics of her creations she is "selling" them because for the most part they are already sold

If there were pics and price tags then yes I understand limiting it but that's not the case. I don't want to speak for Aymee just giving my opinion. The only reason I ever click on the fashion section is to see what Aymee made so I guess I won't be in this section much anymore. I will still be on YT that won't change but I must admit this is probably the first new rule that I think is questionable.
