The Liberal Arts Housewife: Projects: Becoming a WAHM

As one may have noticed, my blogging has been a little less lately. I hope this will not be the case in the upcoming weeks though. If you do not already know I am starting a home business! This is very exciting for me because I would love to be able to work from home and make things I love to make anyway. In the past year I have blogged about all the different cloth diapers I have made and now I have trained myself quite well to try and make cloth diapers for others. Introducing RubyRumps:

I have spent a lot of time picking out my favorite fabrics and making diapers that are fun to look at too. The cloth diaper world is a lot of fun and I am loving the fact the I get to be part of it. (Yes, diapers are not fun, but if you have to diaper someone, why not add color to it?)

Starting a business has made me think about so many details I never knew existed. I needed to get a business license, try and figure out how sales tax works, decide who I wanted to market to, pick shop (s) to work with, and then track my own books once things started to get going. So many loving friends have helped me along the way and I am really happy with my first month of business.

I really want to create a business that takes into account what other people want to buy. I am learning to make wet bags and wipes to go with these diapers because I for one like to get everything in one place. I have chosen to focus on the local by selling through a sweet children's shop called Seams to Last in Port Townsend and I have also realized that having an Etsy website is also a great way to sell to out of town friends and friends of friends. I just spent all of this morning finishing up my Etsy website and other than the fact that my house has terrible lighting, I am happy with the results. I would love to be a part in making quality cloth diapers and supplies for you.
