All of us in any type of sewing, crafting or alteration business have SOMETHING that we are “known” for! Do you have a special knack for making children’s painting aprons that every pre-K and Kindergarten parent wants for their children? Perhaps you have a special way of getting more work done than anybody you know! [...]

That’s the question I was asking myself (speaking about the FabricConverter app and iSewingRoom app) - after all I’ve always carried around my little laminated fabric conversion chart so I could roughly figure fabric requirements for my projects. Boy Howdy did I ever make a big mistake in waiting the few weeks before downloading those apps! [...]

How much time do you spend deciding which products to promote on your website or blog? Let’s think about it for a minute — XYZ company pays 7% commission for every sale and has lots of great items that can be promoted. ABC company pays 10% commission, but somehow their products don’t appeal to me as [...]

We talk and read so much about plus size children – how difficult it is to fit them as well as the fact that there are getting to be more and more children in the “overweight” and “obese” categories. With so much talk about the plus sizes, we rarely hear about small petite children. I [...]

I have been reading quite a few articles about those “super” affiliates and how much money they are making. But, WHO are those super affiliates, and how much money does it take to actually satisfy somebody who is working the affiliate markets? Oh, I’d be really happy to be one of those who can say [...]

Denise and I attended a blogging conference this past week in Nashville, and I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t matter WHAT type of business you’re in, the information at these conferences is top notch! Of course, because this was a “blogging” conference, their workshops and classes were all about helping each other, promoting [...]

How many emails have you gotten lately that lists that particular company’s best selling products? If you subscribe to emails from JoAnn.com, Fabric.com or any of the notion companies, you’ve probably gotten quite a few emails along this line. And, if you’re like me, I like to know what others are buying to see if [...]

Isn’t it amazing how, with the economy in the dumps and unemployment is skyhigh, prices everywhere are going up, up, up! Gas prices keep going up, groceries are on a steady rise, and even at our favorite fabric shop just three weeks ago, one of our main fabrics that we constantly buy jumped up $2.00 a [...]

Everywhere I look I see articles, blog posts and stories about “organizing for the new year” or “clean out the cupboard”. I am SO inspired to do both of those this year! I always thought I wanted to belong to the “she who has the biggest fabric stash when she dies is the winner” club [...]

This year three of my granddaughters got dolls that are very similar to Barbi dolls. Each box had a doll, two sets of dresses and a comb/mirror for fixing the dolls’ hair. In every case, each girl immediately sat down and started changing the dresses on the dolls. Every once in awhile, two brain cells [...]
