Why I do what I do at Coat Closet Designs…

Just want to share my reasons for attempting to sell my xstitch bookmarks…in no particular order:

 1) Want to provide a unique gift idea for others

2) Practice new techniques based on YOUR ideas

3) Utilize the skills God has given me

4) Earn some much needed extra funds for my family

I’m not opposed to working(as its been suggested to me by others)…its just that right now I NEED the flexibility to work around the our family’s schedule. I don’t want to get something for nothing…meaning, I want to earn any funds I receive, which is why I offer the bookmarks(quick turnabout).

I pray daily for God to provide for our needs and am praying that this could be a way for Him.

The bookmarks are $15 each and 2x8in. I suggest because it is such a small area, names/simple designs(borders, etc.).

Summer’s here…

and I’m not sure what to do with it.  🙂

School’s out for all of us, so I do have some “free” time.  Just having a hard time getting motivated to do…anything really.  Not sure what’s wrong w/me.

I have started stitching a premade kit of embroidery and playing with that.  My satin stitches look OK IMHO.

I have plans to experiment with the oil painting on aida and have some primed and ready to go.  Just waiting on inspiration to hit for a good project.

I’ll try to post some pix of the embroidery once I’m done…may be soon with as fast as I’m getting it done.
