Sewing for Money

While using my wallet at the post office last week, the lady behind the counter asked me about making one for her. She showed me her camoflauge purse so I could find a coordinating camo fabric and we agreed on a price. Today while back in the post office (with the wallet still not made) she told me that a lady in CVS wants one too. She has a camo purse and commented on the post office lady's purse, and asked her if she had ever seen a camo wallet...I was recommended, but they did not share info. So now I have to go into CVS and ask for someone with a camo purse...and then get sewing!!

I'm so excited...my first sewing "job"

An Even Better Zyrtec Alternative

Kenny bought generic, CVS brand vitamin C drink, and I thought, oh no, that's going to taste terrible. It is really good!! We all like it and it's cheaper than name-brand Emergen-C! It's Pomegranate Cranberry flavored.



The Tangerine flavor he also bought was terrible...but the Pomegranate Cranberry...yum! It's a little too tart if you mix it up strong, but dilute it a little more and it is yummy.

Better than Zyrtec

I am currently pregnant and not willing to take Zyrtec or Claritin. Besides, they both make me tired and grouchy, so nobody else wants me taking them! My allergies had gotten so bad I was desperate for some relief, and I found it!



Emergen-C...this stuff is literally better than Zyrtec and Claritin! No more sneezing, runny nose, itchy throat, itchy eyes.

I started drinking 2 per day. Now most days I only need 1 per day, a second if I am going to be around a specific trigger (like a dog).

I read online up to 5,000 mg of Vitamin C would help allergies. My midwife said to try 2-3 per day. I've never needed 3. I got results almost immediately too.

Etsy

I opened an Etsy shop!! I only have one item listed at the moment, but I hope to add more very soon. I will be offering painted items as well as hand sewn items, like my purse and wallet.

Wrangler Purse

I decided I needed a new purse. I salvaged a pair of Daniel's Wranglers from the trash and made this.




I made a matching wallet too.

I've been told I should try to sell them, and I just might...
