No Nibbles (or Bites)

I decided to add some lower-priced items to my Etsy store - girl's hair clips. I'll admit they're still on the higher end for the category, but I was hoping to see some kind of interest. No luck. It doesn't help that Etsy is flooded with hair clips for girls, but it was something I could do without a huge up-front investment. Here they are.


I really need to do some marketing, and get some of my New York neighbors to visit my store, but I'm a little bit afraid that they'll actually want the stuff, and I won't be able to find the time to do all the sewing. I'll do it soon, though. I really need to find out whether this is worth continuing to pursue, or not. In the meantime, I'm finding a good use for the huge roll of brown cutting paper I bought. Take a look at my kids' giant art canvas.


Hopefully one of these days the rain and cold will give way to some real summer weather. I'm going to try getting a sitter to come in once a week to take the kids out to the playground while I get some work done. This is my high note for the week: I finally used my new coverlock machine!!! Too much fun! (Well, for me, anyway.) And I did a boy's T-shirt pattern that was actually perfect on the first try!!! Of course, it's always something - I can't get the tension right on my serger, so it looks like a trip to get it serviced before I can sew the shirts. Oh well.
