I remember only a few years ago when I started out sewing as a sideline, part time business, my husband would laugh at my $5.00 sales on eBay. He would often make snide jokes about how we could never live off of my "hobby". Move forward about 6 months and those little $5 and $20 items were now bringing in close to $250 a week from eBay. Not bad for a few hours in the evening 3 to 4 nights a week. Not long after that I decided to start this blog and help out others that sew for a hobby and want to start selling their wares. I had no idea at the time that this little blog would grow like it did.
It was just about 9 months ago when my husband made the grand gesture of getting me a real sewing machine to do all the things that I really wanted to do. It finally proved to me that he had changed his mind about my little business venture. Proving myself as a success in the eyes of someone that is so critical was my one way of pushing me onward and upward.It was my way of wanting to prove to someone that I was NOT a joke and neither were my business ideas.

You know, my guy did the same thing. My website brings in 150-300$ a week and all I do is give away free printables and review sites with printables on them. I think men can be such pessimists!
