OK, just so Zuzu doesn't have to be loney! In my early 40's I retired from being a radio DJ to start my little business. I invented a special draft stopper design that works better, can be customized and is also washable. I also make quilts, bears and rag dolls from peoples' old clothes, usually baby clothes or clothes from a deceased loved one. An my 3rd line is dolls, right now Red Hat ladies plus a few fun ones when I become inspired. My business is 100% on the internet.
When I first started, I offered every single thing that I know how to do! Pillows, drapes, costumes, prom & bridal, casual wear, novelty lingerie, Christmas Stockings, bears, tote bags, handmade paper items, and on & on. Eventually it distilled itself down to the things that sell well and that I enjoy making.
I still do the handmade paper as a hobby. I'm also a Certified Master Gardener. My son John, who's 20, lives in a 4-bed group home for autistic men and they build birdhouses for a living. I live in a big old house with my domestic partner Steve and our 4 cats.
