That is seriously so cute! If you end up doing boy things, I might have to put some of your work on my Christmas list for Lance's room. smile

I think it looks fantastic! You did a wonderful job! Are you sticking with kids themed things? I bet you could do coffee mugs, perfume bottles, sea shells, space things, planets, letters, make up, shoes (even boyish ones like boots, basket ball, cleats, etc.), and musical related things. You definitely have the talent needed. I agree you want to make the price attractive, but don't undersell yourself.


Thanks! I do want to do more adults themed (not THAT kind of adult themed tyvm) but haven't thought a ton about it yet.

What really started this was that MIL had an idea to do handmade christmas gifts and I just started brainstorming. Then I went to a baby boutique and was shocked to see how much they were charging for things I knew I could do and sell for much, MUCH cheaper.

I am making something for MIL for Christmas. I think it will have a cupcake on it but it will be bigger and have the saying "life's short, eat dessert first." Her mom used to say that all the time and I think it is so cute and I think she will like it because of the connection to her mom - who has passed away. So, yes but so far I haven't thought of a ton. :)

 


Great idea, jen!!  you are so thoughtful :heart

So, I'm in the process of about five projects but wanted/needed to just stick to one and finish it to get an idea on time/supplies and of course if I could actually do it. This one is small - you can tell in comparison to my hand (I am holding it up) and very thin. They are a lot cheaper than the thicker canvas and I bought a bunch just to start and practice, etc.

Anyway - please give me honest feedback. With these small ones I am probably going to group them in 3's or fours and connect them with ribbon. Hard to explain but I will show finished products.

I couldn't decide whether to put a cherry on the top of this one but decided not to - I will on the next one. Anyway, the next one will be similar but with a polka dot background.

I'd love your thoughts, and feedback. TYSM!



 super super cute!!
