Baseball, Networking, and a New Venture!

Since my daughter's tball opening day I feel like my life is completely surrounded by baseball! Fortunately I am a big baseball fan so I don't mind too much. This past Sunday we took Bella to her first Phillies game of the season and it happened to be the Phanatic's birthday! She had so much fun. For starters they had all sorts of free kids treats at the game of which she had to sample them all! Then they also had face painting. There were about 10 kids before her and she was the first one to ask for a Phanatic, I mean come on, it was his birthday!

As you can see she was wearing her baseball headband. When we got to our seats, the woman behind us commented on her headband. Being the proud mom that she is, my mom told her that I made it. So I started talking to the woman about Purplelicious and what I sell, and gave her and her friend some business cards. I got an order from her on Monday! It always pays to wear what you sell when you can and always have business cards on you. I was also wearing my Phillies headband but people noticed Bella's more. I may need to start bribing her to wear my headbands more often, she will probably cost me less than higher priced advertising but then again, maybe not!

I did a little more fabric shopping with the pro this week (my mom!). She signed us up to take a purse class at our favorite quilt shop, The Little Shop. We are making the Amy Butler Birdie Sling Bag. So Monday we spent some time picking out our fabrics which was not as easy as I thought it would be. I bought a fabric called 1974 by Urban Chicks for Moda and paired it with a solid purple. I can't wait to see how it looks when it is finished. I also picked up some other new fabrics as well for headband making, so stay tuned for that! I have one more class to take for the purse and it will be completed. I will post a blog about the experience at the end of next week.

So life is still crazy and I am still unemployed but like always I am making the best of it and spending the time off creating and being with my family!
