First Orders!


Well thank you Etsy shoppers, I have my first orders! That Alexander Henry Mocca fabric is hard to resist. I LOVE the combination of the Mocca floral, Bangle Dot, and Esprit Stripe and apparently so do you! Hooray, I shipped out my first order today to a nice crafty lady in California.

Thank you!

Fabric for Spring!

Well I know I haven't written in a while - but I've been busy! Lots going on here in the mist of launching my new website and posting on Etsy. Thank God for my sister! She has been such a help with all the details. She is amazing at logo design and I think we finally found a winner! I love the colors we decided on in the end and the circle in the square is just...scrumptious! Love the scissors cutting it apart too! Way to go Michelle!

I've been busy buying fabric, taking pictures of all the fabulous stuff and then posting it with descriptions. Details, details! Yesterday I placed my first wholesale order for Alexander Henry fabric. I can't think of a fabric I like more than "Mocca" with the "Bangle Dot" and "Esprit Stripe". What a yummy combination of turquoise, brown, and yellow and 3 complementary patterns too! It is so beautiful I wish it was edible! Hee hee! I ordered several new fabrics for Spring. Can't wait to unveil "Very Berry" when I receive it in February. It will make darling little girls dresses, bibs, blankets and pillows! I'm also looking forward to receiving "Bascha" in February too. A great set of 3 complementary patterns (stripe, dot combination, and bold floral).

This really couldn't be more fun! Thank goodness my husband encouraged me to do this! He has been such a support and I am thankful for all the sacrifices he has made in order to make this happen. Now I've just got to sell, sell, sell!

Set Up Woes

There's nothing worse than having to set up my domains, websites, emails, PayPal, Etsy & Ebay accounts for the first time and trying to keep track of my passwords and emails and account names...I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.

I'd rather be getting some fresh air. Why don't we have kiosks on every corner (instead of nail salons) so we can check our email OUTSIDE??

Anyways, three steps closer to opening.

I'm exhausted.

First Blog

I can't believe I'm doing this! Per my sister's poking and prodding, I'm getting into the online fabric business!
