Busy


I finally got an order today! It's been a couple weeks and I was starting to freak out about money so I'm happy to finally get some business. I started putting the word out that I'm back to work and was expecting a huge response since I've received so many emails from people the past few months asking when I was going to start taking orders again. I didn't get any orders right away so I started listing a bunch of custom covers on etsy and ebay (even though I told myself I wasn't going to take custom orders - but hey, that's what sells!). I seemed to have fixed my machine though so it's running smoothly and that's one less thing to worry about. I also bought Jocelyn a new car seat so I need to work on a new cover for her. Here is the fabric she picked out:

She said she wants Hannah Montana fabric because she's going to be a rock star! lol she cracks me up. I also offered to make my neighbors a cover for thier daughter. They have a high back booster seat so I'm a little worried about how I'm going to make that work with the seat belt guides but it I should be able to figure it out. I just hope I'm not making too much work for myself.

I've also decided I'm going to go to school for web design and maybe graphic design. I found an online corse through the art institute. They offer a web design diploma program which sounds perfect for me. I don't really need a degree since I'm not looking for a career, I just want to learn for myself. If I end up really liking it and if I am confident doing it, then maybe I'll start a small web design business selling premade templates to other mommy boutiques.

Well, that's what's been going on lately! I've only got a few more months of this deployment left and we need to save some money for our move to CA in May so I've just got to stay modivated and get some work done!

I finally figured out how to respond to your comments!!
What booster does Hannah have?
Jocelyn doesn't really like to watch the Hannah Montana show but she loves her music!
