My Intro Blog

Friday, September 12, 2008
Thank you for visiting my blog!
I've always wanted to start one, but never really knew what I'd talk about.
Well here it is!

I'll start by telling a little about myself.
I am a stay-at-home mom of a 4yo and 18mo. We also have one more on the way!
I absolutely love my job! It's the most amazing thing to wake up every day and see the smiling faces of my loves all day long. Okay, they don't smile all day, but that's what I chose to reflect on at the end of the day. :) I won't lie. It's the hardest job I have ever loved; with my whole heart!

I would love to be a WAHM (work-at-home-mom). I have many talents. I am an accountant by trade and crafter by heart. If I could make one of those talents earn a little extra income for my family, I'd be set. That's my ultimate goal.

What is it that I can do?
Well, I sew and knit mostly. I also love to read, but can't imagine anyone paying me to do that. (But if you are someone who needs a review of a novel or article and you do pay, please email me!!!!)

We use cloth diapers on our 18 mo pretty much full time. The exception being when we go out.
Now that I'm pregnant and can't stand the smell of overnight cloth diapers, we use sposies at night too. The cost of name brand cloth diapers is out of my league, so I make all of our cloth diapers. We don't even own one name brand diaper!

I have become a Hippy Hippy Snap and Fattycakes approved seamstress.
This means I can make and sell from their patterns.

I also just paid for my license to knit and sell from the SheepyTime Pants pattern.

I LOVE to knit. That's what I do at the end of the day to relax. I ALWAYS have a project on my needles!! I would love to knit custom longies/shorties for you too! I can do soakers and skirties too, they just won't be with the SheepyTime pattern. I haven't saved up enough to buy those licenses!

I will be posting pictures of my work as time allows. Some items I post here will be for sale. Others, just for show.

Please email me (tailenddesigns@yahoo.com) if you'd like me to make any cloth diapers or knit any wool for you, or if you have any other questions! There is currently no waiting list and most orders are completed in one week, from when all materials are collected. I will also knit with your yarn. So if you fall in love with some yarn, scoop it up and send me an email!

Thanks for reading my blog!
