A new beginning

Every so often Eden's Bouquet has a 15% off coupon code. And everytime I get the email with it, I get excited and I go to the webpage and fill up my cart and realize that even with 15% off I can't justify that amount of money. Especially when Jordan walks up behind me and says "That's a cute outfit. You should make one." Because he's totally right. The clothes are GORGEOUS, and with exception of the Heirloom stuff and fancy dresses and denim stuff, I can make it. Heck, one day I may attempt to make one of the fancy dresses. I admit I am decent at seeing a picture of something and copying it fairly well. It's definately one of the talents Heavenly Father has blessed me with. But I digress.

When we get to Utah, I fully plan to stop being mope-y and lazy about life and get my act together. Obviously I'm not going to suddenly have the desire, will power, and inspiration to have a booming ebay or etsy business. I just have to make up my mind that even slowly, any start is a start. I'll work on sewing 3 hours a day. I'm not good enough when it comes to making patterns to make sizes beyond what my own child wears, (or the size Abigail or Grace wear) so I'll be limited by that. But the point of my post is that I will begin my "business" in September. And we're changing the name from Mandorallyn's Mirror to Ilaria Eve. That encompasses both girls and sounds cutely boutique-y like Eden's Bouquet or Flora and Henri or Matilda Jane. It's Ava's middle name as it should have been, and the end of Mandorallyn's middle name.
Wish me luck and please provide me with lots of encouragement. And if you see something cute, email a copy of the picture to me! I'd love to have requests!
