Sorry...

Yeah, so I haven't writtin in a very long time. I really need to get better about this.

My husband and I just started our own Handmade Soap business, WillowBend Bath. So far we have 6 scents with more coming soon. We started our Etsy site and sold soap at the flea market last weekend. For our first official month in May, we didn't do too shabby. I think we sold 15 bars or so. And so far in June we have sold 3. We will be doing the flea market again on June 13th, and try to do it one weekend a month until October. The summer months are just too warm, both for us and the customers.

We are also starting our own screenprinting/embroidery business. Jeff has all kinds of really cool ideas for screen prints, and I am going to start embroidering accessories and clothing.

I am going to get better about posting daily, and at the very least weekly.

Happy Day!

Happy Day! I just found out today, that I am not out of business. Etsy Etsy(the awesome online retailer where my shop is located) posted a wonderful article about our rights and responsibilities. Basically we are still liable if something does have over the allowed amount of lead, but we currently don't have to provide testing of our items to consumers for at least 1 year.

Oh, man this means I need to get back to work! I let all my awesome kid and baby stuff sit idle.

Boredom


Yeah, so this is the kind of stuff that I do when I am bored. It is basically a bunch of lines to form a design. But I really don't think that this picture gives it justice.
