Cont. -
After we found out I was pregnant with my second son we moved and I decided after having him to take a break. I didn't think there was any time to have a hobby with two small ones. When they were 2 and 1 years old I started feeling down and found myself cleaning my house as a fun thing to do (let me just say, I do not enjoy cleaning, so this in itself was depressing.) One afternoon while cleaning out the strings, etc. out of my vaccum (who does that!!) my mom mentioned that I may want to find a hobby. Naturally, I thought of sewing.
That week I received a cagalog in the mail of blank tee shirts, bibs, etc. I don't know how it found me but I will never forget that afternoon. Sometimes you just have to call it a "GOD" thing! I called my husband so excited blabbing about what I was going to start making and by that night I had my machine revved up and was cutting out appliques.
I guess the rest is history. Through home parties and ebay things really started to pick up. My parents helped me buy my first embroidery machine and since have upgraded to a commercial machine. My third baby was born three years after my second and I took a few months off. I continued to take in work from friends and friends of friends. Last year we launched the website www.snugglebugkids.net and started offering our clothing and custom car seat covers by special order through Eloise and Henry - A children's boutique in Decatur, AL.
We should be adding 3-4 new stores over the next few months. I'll make sure to post their locations.
So this, in a nutshell, is my story and the story of Snugglebug Kids. If you have any topics of interest you would like me to post about or have any product questions you can email me at info@snugglebugkids.net -- Ahbra
