Nice, . . How Exciting for you, that's awesome. I loved the vest you make for the challenge. Love the fact that you used repurposed denim.

How did she find out about your doggy items and where do you advertise?

I made me first sale, Yippy...

Would of liked to have sold more that the 4 that I sold at the community sale today, but its a start. I've got the bandanas photographed and listed on my page. Listed a few of the dresses and plan on sewing up a few to go along with the design challenges. That way I can do double duty. I've got them cut and ready to go.

I appreciate you sharing my page and the "likes". That really does help to get my page recognized and out for public view. Thanks so much.

Congrats on your first sale. That's so exciting.

Thanks and yes it was !

Sadly, I've had no hits or interest in any of my work since. I do have #18 likes on my page thou....

I have make some new dresses, vests and also came up with a new style of sundress that I need to put the finishing touches on and get them posted on my page. Maybe that will get the attention of some one out there in FB land. I did start a web site but it's going to be very time consuming and Im not sure that I want to invest the time in it.

I saw on Etsy that there are not too many others who do the slip collar bandanas. Maybe I can do that depending on the cost. Plus there is the pay pal cost to consider also.

If you need help advertising I'd be happy to share your page or whatever you'd like on my FB. Many of my FB friends are doggy mommies!

Thanks so much Aymee , all of your "likes" are really helping spread the word of my page. My work is nowhere in comparison to yours but I'm getting there.

Update: I have my first order from one of the ladies who has one of our pups. I had to come up with an xs template that I'm still not sure is correct. Plus, two other have inquired about custom items for their boys. Its a slow and bleak start but as least its a start.

On a good note, my mother let me go through her fabric & lace from when she use to sew. Some still had tags from 2008. So, that saved me lots of money. The only thing is that it is one of a kind and only enough for two to three items. The lace is beautiful and some that you cant even find any more. I will have to use that for special occasion and wow items only.

I only consider myself a self starter or a mom & pup style setting but any advise I can get on advertising, price scale, payment methods and sales tips would be greatly appreciated !!

I've finished up another order, it being picked up today. Now if I could only do two or three orders/sales a week, I'd be a happy happy gal.

You can see them on my FB page, oh and while you are there "LIKE" my page.... = )
