what comes from bordem...


so...i have an amazing job.
but i also make a full time salary working at most part time...
so i have a lot of free time, and i don't do sitting well...
i can sit for a while but at some point i almost literally go insane...
so ive been trying to come up with something to do with all my free time...
my house has stayed pretty clean, my dog has gotten multiple walks a day, way to much shopping has been done, a lot of time has been spent online doing pointless things, but still i was completely bored....
so i was trying to find something i could make and sell, or a place to volunteer...
since volunteering is not going well at the moment i decided to make something...then it came to me...
Dog Bandana's...
i want to make them for mac anyway and have made a few for her already and they are super simple and quick...
so while home to see my parents and go to a few church things i stopped by a huge and more importantly cheap fabric store....my mom and i dug for about 2 hours and found some good stuff.
it wasn't the greatest prints but this is a trial thing for now so i wanted cheap but still nice...
so we bought 15 different birght colored patterns and then I was going to make bandana's and list them either on amazon, or etsy, or ebay or whereever....well i looked into all those places and decided to see what happened it i just put them on craigslist...
so i posted yesturday and within a few hours i had 6 bandana's ordered...
its not much, but i figure for a few hours and the fact that criagslist isn't exactly where people are looking it was pretty good...so in the near future i will probably venture to ebay or amazon or etsy....
so for now i figure its just an adventure...but it could be a way to "volunteer" by giving my profits to an animal shelter or something like that, or if i ever need extra cash it could help with that as well...
so that is my new adventure to fill up my free time....
