Open for business!!!

So I've decided to go ahead and open early! My reasons are a little silly, but 1) I am done with all my "practice" pre-orders, which I thought would take me all week to do, and 2) my friend is watching my daughter all day tomorrow for me so I am hoping someone will order soon so I have something to work on while I have the free time!

I am sooo excited to be doing something like this...really I've always wanted to just do "arts & crafts" type things for a living, but I never thought I'd have a shot at it. Well, now I am doing it! I'm so blessed to have an incredible and supportive husband, family & friends. A special shout out to Lindsay Williams, without her I would have been lost throughout this process...she's a great mentor and example to me with her business, Neverland's Cove.

Next week is the fun part...going to get my tax ID. YUCK! I hope it's not as big a pain as I think it will be!!!

Blogging my business!

This is something I've seen tons of work at home mom's do with their businesses and I always love going to my favorite Etsy shop and clicking on their blog link! Plus, I can be much more verbose here than I can on facebook, I don't want to annoy all of my fans with over-updating!

Back in May I created Sassy Bows by Clare. I spent tons of time and money birthing that and turning it from a hobby into a business! But after an endless amount of needle pokes and lighter or glue gun burns it just wasn't enough! I decided I wanted more, and after visiting a friend in Alabama and seeing her successful embroidery business, I was very intrigued!

About a month later I got REALLY lucky and my mom decided to buy me an embroidery machine! I have a Brother PE 780D and this thing is amazing! I decided to create a sister business to Sassy Bows by Clare, and this one is called Cherry Limeade Creations. I will be doing embroidery and applique on children's shirts, onesies, burp cloths, bibs, blankets and other embroidable items.

Sooo...welcome to my blog! I will try to regularly update here!
