Feb. 11, 2006 - Do not despise small beginnings
Awhile back, (goodness how long has it been? 3 years? ) April wanted a certain guitar. The place that had it was up for sale so we knew if we put it on layaway it might be called "due" at any time. So I (momma) had a brainstorm. That is common for me. I told April, "you know how I taught you to make bloomers and jumpers for your sisters, well let's see if you can make those for some other people too" . And thus, jumpinbloomers.com was born! She had that guitar within 3 weeks. I had already taught her to sew, so we began on all the other aspects, adjusting our homemade patterns to other sizes, learning how to figure and buy materials and develop a fabric list, determine prices and such. We put together a simple web page with a couple pictures and shared it with a few folks, and they shared it, and they shared it and so on and so on! April has learned business techniques and management that she will take throughout many aspects of her life. We hope to share here some of our lessons and some comments of satisfied customers. So many times people ask how to start a home business, the answer is simple, "just start!" It will grow from there.
