Right now, I am doing a fun "experiment" and trying to take all of my friend's and my friend's mother's advice and "Just Relax".

Ladies in Waiting Too

A friend of mine and I are working on an Etsy shop project. She is waiting for her boyfriend to get home from his mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Most people that she has told that she is waiting just laugh and say that she will never be able to wait two years.

Well it has been a year and two months and she is still waiting for him.

We realized that girls who choose to wait need support and so we wanted to start an Etsy shop that was for girls who are waiting for their boyfriends to come back from either serving the country, their religion, or whatever other reasons they might have for being long distance.

Right now I am concentrating on one thing, and that is postcards. You can have an inside joke.
Special shout outs.Birthday celebrations.The possibilities of the silhouettes are endless. I'm really excited to get started. If you want to take a look you can head to our Etsy shop!

What to Sell?

I have been looking at somethings that people pay money for and I think, "Why didn't I think of that?" "I can make that!"

I am driven nuts sometimes by people who I feel "sell out" Mormonism. I don't just mean the LDS Church but the whole Mormon culture. There are Book of Mormon games, cards, and action figures. It makes me mad that someone out there is making a killing on keeping other people's kids reverent in church.


But hey, I might want to jump on the propaganda train too.

I made a blue one too.

Is it a sin to want to read through the scriptures looking for phrases that I can sell?

Starting an Etsy Shop

I want to earn money for our family but I don't want to work at an fast food place or anywhere that I am going to hate. I love cross stitching. I love doing crafts and I have finally decided to try and do something about it.

I have finally done it.

Well, I took a small step in the right direction.

I am going to do it.

I am going to open an etsy shop.

I started my account today.

I haven't put anything up yet but I will.

I think that I will start by selling my funny tea towels. I might make some small samplers and frame them and sell those for people to hang up in their bathrooms.
Then who knows. I might move on to selling some stuff that I sew...if I get any good at it. I am excited. I can do it.
