Making Progress

So I have been making many trips to Joann Fabrics and Hobby Lobby trying to get everything together to start making things, I'll be posting pictures as I make them so people can see what I'll be selling. I won't have them on my Etsy shop til I get back from our trip to Louisiana. I figure it would be quite pointless to start the shop and then right after close it for over a week! I requested some free samples of fabric from a site online since I have been totally unable to find mesh material anywhere! I found one color at Joann's today, but she told me it was just a special fabric in for the the spring, they don't have any other colors. So hopefully I'll like the sample and be able to buy more of it so I can make the hair things I want to! I have a lot of ideas, hopefully they all work out well. Not to mention I hope I am able to sell my stuff! If the store goes well I'll start to look up craft shows and such to sell things! Wish me luck!

So I decided to start a blog to go along with starting my shop on etsy. The shop is not up and running yet, but will be soon! I'm in the process of making things to sell, making the logo, and doing other things to make sure that it is a good as possible and the best reflection of me! 


The shop and blog are of course named after my little diva of a baby girl Ava Rose. Whenever she was born I wanted her to be as glammed out as possible, but doing that proved to be much harder than I thought. I could find little ribbon bows that were pretty simple and plain, but not many that I thought fit my little girly girl! I also had a terrible time finding decorations for her nursery that lived up to my level of cuteness that I expected! 


So I went to work; I've always been pretty crafty, I graduated from art school for goodness sake, lol. So soon I had many cute things for my little Ava. Well, every time at church, or the store, or the park, or wherever I got questions as to where I got the cute bows in her hair, my response "oh, I made them." I realized that people would probably pay good money to get these cute little things for themselves. I am already making them for my baby girl and my niece so why not make a little money making them for everyone else!? 


So I'm hoping my store is successful, I know it may take awhile, but getting a customer base definitely takes time. Who knows, I may finally do my goal of learning to sew, then I can add all the cute clothing I would like to make as well!
