One Landes Place

This business stuff is a lot harder than I expected and waaaaay more work than I was ready for! I am still enjoying it, just at a slower speed. I have thrown away a lot of "learning" projects over the past few weeks, but I am not giving up. I finally finished a dress my daughter has been begging for and I have been reluctant to make. Check out my Etsy shop and let me know what you think!

I finally have my business site up and semi-running. I still have some holes to fill but it is and probably always will be a work in progress.  I have started sewing little clothes to help save some money so we can eventually move to town :)  I don't have a ton of stuff in my shop yet but I am adding stuff weekly.  I will have boy stuff too.  Check out my new page and be a follower!

There's no denying that a little boy lives among us.  Nathan has made his mark in this family as the cutest, most mischievous little boy!  I do love him to pieces but raising him is going to be NOTHING like raising his sister.  Evidence: Somewhere there is a Barbie who's going nowhere Stealing toys from sis's backpack Sneaking on top of great granma's table My children are a joy, but also a handful. They have adjusted so well to our move and are starting to feel like this is their home.  I am another story, for another time :) 

Everyone has to start somewhere.  I have been spending the past few months trying to figure out how all this is going to work. I kept going back and forth about Etsy, blog, website, Facebook...and just became completely overwhelmed.  I finally had to just take a step back and realize that this is not Macy's.  I am not some kind of big time seamstress with a stack of orders.  I'm just a girl who likes to sew clothes for my kid and thought others might like for me to one day sew something for their kid too.  So here I am. With a little bit of confidence in one pocket and some anxiety in the other,  I finally listed 2 things in my Etsy shop .  Again, everyone has to start somewhere, right? I am hoping to be able to add a few items per week to get some inventory and some sales.  I don't have huge expectations right now and I am super excited about just having 2 things available!  There is so much more worked involved in this than...
