Hug A Bug
Well, I'm jumping in. I've decided to attempt a business of my own. Sitting here wasting away at my job for the past several years, I started brainstorming. I can sew. I can draw. I can be creative when given the chance and the time.
I recently attended a market days event with my mom. She had made awesome diaper bags and was trying to sell a few. Unfortunately, there was no traffic. I walked around, passing the time and got ideas from several other vendors. I'd hate to say I "stole" ideas. Let's just say I got ideas and have modified them. And those ideas have grown into new ideas.
The past few weeks I've been drawing and researching. My first step is to buy a good sewing machine. This, to me, is a big purchase, and therefore freaks me out a bit. What if my ideas aren't good enough to sell? What if I spend the time creating and making but nothing comes of all of it? Oh, wait, I can't live by the "what ifs" in life.
So, I'm jumping in. I purchased a domain at hugabugnow.com. Of course, it won't be a complete website until I'm able to sew a few things, but in the meantime, I've got my own domain. Crazy!
What will I be sewing, you ask? Ha! No one reads this blog anyway, so I'll tell ya. I'm going to be appliqueing my own designs to onesies and toddler clothing. The machine I want will be able to embroider pretty much anything I want. I want to be able to accept customized orders too. I will also be making hair clips, eventually, to match some outfits.
We shall see where this takes me, if anywhere. It's pretty scary, for me. But, here goes nothin!
