Sweet Sassy Molassey

So, my sewing addiction is pretty much out of control. I just can't get enough. So, I decided to start selling a few things to help feed that addiction, which led me to create this blog with my talented friend Jenny, which then led me to open an etsy store, which I have named Sweet Sassy Molassey. Catchy, huh? ;)

So check it out if you have a second. Let me know what you think.

I think I'll keep the blog as a place to post stuff that I'm selling online, as well as just little projects I work on at home for my family or to give away as gifts.

Now I haven't hit it big yet. No tax ID or business cards or anything like that. I don't have a number for customer service or sales, so while we're still such a small outfit I thought I'd answer some F.A.Q.'s.

#1. Will she be offended if I don't buy anything? Heavens no! I have never been the kind of person who is comfortable selling things to her friends. Even at a garage sale. I'm only doing this for Amy Butler. And Michael Miller. And Sandi Henderson. (These are all fabric designers. What can I say? I have expensive taste in fabric.) No, but seriously, please do not worry! I would hate for anyone to feel obligated to buy anything from me that they do not want or need. Phew, now that THAT's cleared up...

#2. How would she feel about a trade? Great! I love trades! Just ask!

    You are simply amazing, I love everything you do. Is there no end to your talents? I feel so boring and unproductive after reading your blog.

    I want. I want. I need. I need.

    I'm pathetic.

    Katherine,

    I am positively in love with the Pink/Chocolate Damask Dandy car garbage bag. Not to mention the fact that your story absolutely spoke to me. Did you hook up a camera in my car to spy on me or something?

    Is there a chance you could put a hold on this bag and perhaps bring it with you someday when you drop Franny off for school? I'll be poised with money in hand waiting to jump all over the sale! Imagine, the most gorgeous bag I own will also be the most useful!

    Brilliant. Love the blog, the site, the product... I'd trade, but I'm losing confidence in my skills of an artist. I'm with Andrea on the pink damask garbage bag. I WANT ONE.

    I too want a bag...I will order soon.. I made your blackberry bars for a bbq at Russell's sister's house today...It was the hit of the dessert bar!! Thanks for keeping me inspired. If it's good enough for Katherine, the undisputed Domestic Goddess, it is good enough for me!
