A Ray of Stitches

What do you sell?

I sell childrens toys: Bean Bag Tic Tac Toe Sets, Wool and fabric Checkers sets, wooden coins and money, wooden memory/matching sets and doll diapers, with more to coming this year.

How long have you been in business?

I opened my store in 2006 but was not able to do much while I was pregnant and reopened in July of 2007.

What is your favorite product and why?

My favorite product is my new diapers. I had been looking for doll diapers for my daughter for her dolls but was not able to find anything that looked like real diapers to me. So I decided to make my own pattern for her. After making a couple for her, I decided I needed to make these for others as well. They are fun to make and oh so cute.

What business accomplishment are you most excited about?

I am most excited about getting my items out for the children to enjoy. The toys I have made have been well recieved which has been a joy for me.

Do you sell only at your Hyena Cart or other places as well?

At this time only on Hyena Cart but in the future I hope to branch out farther.

What advice would you offer to a WAHM just getting started?

Stay positive! It can be hard at times to believe that your items will be wanted and things may be slow to start. But if you offer a well made product they will come to you for them.
