New Adventures....

Good afternoon all! I have a few new adventures coming along.  First one made me really think, I had a friend from my facebook, Vinny the bulldog, ask me to make two bulldog dresses for his loves/valentine "Bettie's" as he calls them (very cute this bulldog boy is).  Well he wanted them to resemble my "Sassy Apron" that I blogged about a few weeks back.  Well this was a tough task, I had to free hand the pattern to fit these curve-a-sious bulldog also make a matching tie so that he can match with his betties.  Who does this bully think he is! So demanding j/p, but cute.  I accepted his challenge and I have to admit the pattern came out good, I just need sew it all together and make his cute little ties so he can match  his loves.  I hope I get pictures of Vinny on his dates! ;) (Heheheh) Well actually I hope his 'betties' know about each other. What a dog! =P
The next custom order was for a harness with a handle.  This is for Emma the bulldog, you see she has a bit of arthritis and sometime needs extra help get up stair.  I thought this would be another good challenge, so I ordered a rubber handle (haven't seen it yet it should be in Tue).  Hopefully This handle isn't to big, I actually going to attach this to the "spine" of the harness and add a few padding cushions so there will not be much pressure place on Emma.  I sure hope she loves it! It's pink and very DIVA like!
The next two adventures I am excited for are to help Long Island Bulldog Rescue and So Cal Bulldog Rescue .  I will be donating a few items to them so they may auction them off to raise money for their rescue.  This is going to be fun! I haven't decided on what to make for them but I'm thinking that they need to be "generic" if you will.  If you noticed from my Etsy site it is geared for girl! So I figured if I could make them appeal to both sexes then there might be more of a "turn out" for bidding.
last but not least ( I hope), I have been offerd to help out a company (I can't say just ing case it doesn't happen) making dog bag holders. YAY! I'll leave it at that! This is the adventure that I'm hoping and praying to land. This would be AMAZING! Well that's all I got. I'll leave you a few pictures of the new things that I put up on my ETSY shop .  Also if you have a facebook acct.  and would like to be a "FAN" it out my facebook page : Sweet Santana Co.  (click the hyperlink) and then "LIKE" my page! This will keep you up to date on all the happening plus my blog and etsy shop are linked to that! YAY! Thanks for stopping by. Please feel free to comment, I'd love to hear from you.

So much excitement with not enough patience!

The past few days have been so crazy for me, well actually for my "business".  I think about it almost every minute of the day and my heart goes racing with the excitement with the possibility that this little (very little) sewing business can be something more. It also excites me that I can contribute more than just my time to San Diego Bulldog rescue .  Just when I thought that things (so far ) couldn't get any better, I received some wonderful news from my friend/hairstylist, Stacy Klepach at Salon 56 , that they are having a Botox party and invited me to showcase some of my crafts. This would be my first EVER showcase. I'm so nervous and watching all my stitching.  They have to be PERFECT, which mean I have to slow down the sewing machine and carefully sew.  This is BIG! This is getting my foot in the door that could be another exciting path! Well it's getting late and I'm a bit tired, so good night everyone and thanks for stopping by!

What's going on with Sweet Santana Co.

      

        WOW, hard to imagine that it is the 10th of the month! Ten days have past since my last post and I would like to get everyone up to date on what is going on with Sweet Santana Co.  Well as you know so far I have been selling a few things here and there with the help of Yardsellr.  I have also set up my ETSY account, http://www.sweetsantana.etsy.com/.  I'm still toying around with them so I 'm not quite sure on how to get my ETSY site advertised other than through facebook.  Speaking of facebook, I have started a PAGE just for my "company"  www.facebook.com/pages/sweetsantanaco (follow this link and be a fan and LIKE my page) -- if you have one as well let me know and I'll do the same for you! =) 

       It's exciting to know that I have made all this on my own.  I never imagined that I would have gone this far and knowing that this is just the tip of the iceberg.  I have also set up an appointment to meet with an accountant next Monday to help me out with legal tax matters.  I'm not sure how I want to register my company since I the only operating person in my company, would that make me sole proprietor?  But since I am NOT going to make any profit and donating it all to San Diego Bulldog Rescue, am I considered non- profit? Ugh, I'm not liking all these decision, but if that's what I need in order to run and sell things legally and NOT get in to trouble with the IRS then I have to. 

      My sister in law and her boyfriend brought up a wonderful idea in the near future : Farmers Markets! DUH why didn't I think of this before hand? So it would be only fitting to become a legit business in order to participate into something this! Hey who knows, maybe some will invest in my line of things and I could become HUGE! Ha one can only dream right?  Well that's all I got, thanks for stopping by!

Saasy Frassy Apron

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! I'm not here to talk about resolution, I'm here to showcase me Sassy Apron! YAY! I took a look at this fabric and thought to myself how interesting it would be to make it into an apron. TAH DAH!   It's a new year and so why not be sassy on in the kitchen? This is made out of 100 % cotton and one size fits all.  This apron is not reversible. As always 100% of profits will be donated to San Diego Bulldog Rescue. What do you think?  I'm in LOVE with it and hopefully you will too!
