Hi Everyone...

Willow · 02-11-2007, 07:08 AM

I appreciate the care you have all expressed, but please don't be sorry! It was all good for in it my husband and I have grown closer and we have had fun with the kids.

I have started my own business from home but it is slow going. I hope it will take off eventually, but for now it is bringing in enough to cover the little bit of bills (mostly utilities) that we have and covering for our basic needs. No extra money for things like new clothes or eating out, but we are surviving without it so we must not need it! That is one lesson I have learned through ALL of this...God provides what you need and what he doesn't provide you didn't need to begin with or he has provided a way for you to survive without it.

Another exciting thing is a new furbaby is joining our family. Her name is Lexie and she is about 20 months old and yes she is a yorkie. We are just trying to work out how to get her from Georgia to Ohio.

I apologise that my first post made it sound like things are bad for us. They really aren't. I truly am the richest person I know because I have a great little family and a husband who is fully supportive of my new business venture.

We have found things we didn't need that were just "here" and like I said we also sold the Blazer so once we knew we didn't have the income, we got rid of the things we couldn't afford....THANK GOD MY INTERENT IS ONLY 11 BUCKS A MONTH LOLOLOLOL

I have great friends...I don't have to drive 50 million miles to work everyday...I can choose my OWN schedule...yea it is all good...OH and they finally got the documentation for my husband's workers comp claim so his attorney was finally able to file it!

See, it isn't all bad.

lol sure...it's called Willow's Creature Comforts and I make things for furkids like toys, blankets, treats etc.

Hi Willow, I wish you the best in your new business adventure. Do you have a web-site so we can see what you're selling,

I wish I could do something like that. Even though I love sewing for my babies, I find that at times I'm really gung ho for making things and then go for spells where I don't make anything for months. It's been since before Christmas (maybe Thanksgiving) since I've made anything. I've been seeing cute things on YT and I'm starting to get in the mood to start again. I just spend way to much time on the computer and then time gets away from me.

The main reason I started sewing for mine is because most of the sites are just too darn expensive for me. We're not poor by any means, but don't have the kind of money to spend $20 on one dress for one of my girls. I know how much effort goes into making these items and I know they are well worth the price, but I simply can't afford it plus the shipping.

I'm constantly looking for sales on YT, but still can't afford some of them. Can you post pics of what you're selling and prices. I can't promise I can purchase anything, but I sure love looking.

Willow · 02-13-2007, 06:55 AM

Sure I can post some things here...I will start with the link to my site LOL but I don't have it finished yet. I had it up the beginning of January but there are still some things I am working on getting/creating to put on the webpages.

Not everything on my website is homemade. There are some manufactured items on there but they will not be available much longer as I am trying to build my own inventory of homemade items. I now have patterns to make soft beds, blankets, and pillows (yes our furkids need pillows too! LOL)

I will also be carrying some toys that I don't make like Bobo's and Bow wow beanies (I hope!)

Willow!!! You have a great site! Once you get all the pages filled, you are going to be one busy lady. I may have to order some treats from you once I run out of what I have. I entered the YT GE and rec'd 3 bags of treats, so those will last awhile. Your prices on them seem very reasonable. I will definitely be checking back to your site.

Willow · 02-13-2007, 07:24 AM

Thank you, Janet.

I bake the treats as ordered so they are always fresh. lol
