Busy Bees
Well, we are busy as little bees this holiday season!
We're kinda pressed for cash (like most of America), so we hand-making most of our Christmas gifts. We are having lots of fun doing it together as a family though, and our creative juices are really flowing.
I got a serger finally. I should have waited, but I thought I had more cash then I did (ooops), and I went ahead and bought it. Honestly, I don't know how I ever lived without it, and after Christmas (when we can afford thread), we will be flooding our ETSY store with all kinds of cute clothes made of my tons of stockpiled material. maybe someday we will even sell something.
Everyone LOVES Lexi's orange ice skating dress, and are so impressed I made it. That is worth 30 ETSY sales to me! Now I have a serger, I will start making some ice dresses to sell. I need some different patterns though, the one I have is too simple, and kind of boring. Once again, after Christmas.
I am also considering adding bath salts to our line of creations. It looks like everything is lining up for that, so hopefully, we can have some romantic gifts before Valentines Day.
anyway, we've been very busy, and just wanted to give you all a quick update.
