Hey - I spy a little niche home business here!!! Tink you are very good at this and have picked it up so quickly :D

Would you look at that nosey little ferret LOL . . . Monkey's adorable having a sniff around his new hammock :-D

[dinahsmum]

That's lovely! - and I agree with Yola; find yourself a simple sewing machine and set up in business

[HappyKatz]

Great job on the hammock!! :smt023 Hope to see more of your new creations!!
That is wonderful that your ferrets love it already :smt049 They are spoiled cuties :-D

[angieh]

I agree with DM and Yola! You are very clever Tink and once you've sorted out your pattern you could go into running a little business! Just think of all those ferrety friends reclining in your creations!

[calismum]

Tink - it's brill. You must think about what folks have suggested.

Monkey obviously approves.

[Mags]

Tink, there's no stopping you now....you are getting better and better at this..:D

As the others have said, if you could get hold of a cheap sewing machine from somewhere you could make no end of different pet things.....and earn yourself some cash to look after all those pets..;)

[Tink]

wow, thanks everyone!:oops: :-D

to be honest, my OH was telling me the same thing. right now we are waiting for sewing machines to go on sale at walmart because they are a bit expensive or watching craigslist. i told him i really want to practice more before his suggestion of setting up an etsy site or something. funny thing is there is a pet suppy consignment store opening in town and he was thinking i should drop off some things there and let the store take care of it to see if they sell. i'm not sure, i'm very unsure of myself still! although it would be great to make some cash..but i'd be horrified if someone complained about what i made..i don't know.

thanks for all your compliments and encouragement, you guys are grand:D

[Moli]

Thats fantastic Tink, have to agree with everyone else, you could have a good going business....

[dandysmom]

Tink, if you're making such lovely, imaginative things by hand, think what you could do with a proper sewing machine! You have a real talent for it, IMO! Do think about it! I'd buy some of your things for sure!
