Sometimes it rocks to be a work from home mom!

A few months back, I wrote a journal post called, "Sometimes it sucks to be a work from home mom", so I feel obliged to balance that out today.

I'm feeling very happy about a sale I made today. I only earned $9 for a whole lot of time, but I feel as chirpy as a Disney princess!

Someone ordered a Personalized Passover baby T-shirt. I really enjoy getting the emails with those requests! Sure, when someone emails drawnbyk@gmail.com to ask me to personalize a design or change the coloring, it represents more work for me with no extra pay. But it feels more personal than just seeing sales reports. I get to have a mini written conversation with a person who has found my artwork on the internet and actually decided they want to buy it for a baby or toddler to wear! Pretty cool!

I even find out the first name of the baby, and I can imagine that there is some adorable little person with that name wearing my shirt! This time, I even got to imagine a little more, because the customer asked me to make slight changes in the drawing (making the hair curlier and longer) to make it better resemble the baby. I hope that little girl with the curls is old enough to taste a little sweet charoses, and I hope that when her family gathers with her for the seder, they like her shirt!



The customer who ordered that shirt just sent me this message:

Hi Kerridwen -
Just wanted to let you know I got the shirt today and it's gorgeous :) Thanks so much!

How fantastic is that?!

Passover Baby Gifts for Under $20

I've finally finished some adorable designs for Passover baby clothes. Click any picture to go straight to Little Characters store and buy now. Pesach is coming soon, but if you email drawnbyk@gmail.com I can personalize any design for free in one day. (I'm also happy to change any of the coloring.)







I'm happy to have finished these in time, but I have sketches for three more Passover designs. Hopefully, I'll have at least two of those available for 2010! This is a milestone for me though, because now that I've added Pesach designs, I have finished all the major holidays in the Jewish calendar. When I started my store, one of my first designs was for Rosh Hashanah. Now I've almost come full circle. That feels good.
