Making Baby Shoes!~



Lately I have been making baby shoes! They are the cutest thing ever. Today I was seeing a customer and I brought a pair along just so she could see them. She snatched them up and said “I have to have these, can you make me 5 more pair?” ~ Well, absolutely! She also bought 7 baby blankets, and 5 wallets. So today was a good day!

I am really loving my sewing - I think I could really turn it into an actual business. A few years ago I was running a really successful online bath & body business, then we took a move with my husband’s work and things kinda fell apart with my business, I couldn’t keep up with all the orders all by myself. When that business declined, I really felt like a failure and lost my motivation completely to try another ‘at home’ business. So for the last couple of years I’ve done a lot of soul searching and over time discovered my love of sewing. It’s so cool to be able to create my own ‘things’ instead of having to run out and buy something everytime I need or want something.

So, I think I have my ‘MoJo’ back - and I’m ready again to plunge completely into this business plan. Etsy is the first step in the right direction (along with my local customers), and we will see what happens next. Yay!
