I almost forgot today's blog post!
I got some exciting news yesterday...I was contacted by a buyer in Seattle who works for www.Zulily.com, and she wanted to know if I would be interested in selling some of my Puddin' Pies clothing on their site! What an honor that someone who works in that field sees potential in my work!
However...I talked to her today and got more details. The biggest one being, I would have to sew between 500-1000 dresses before I could even start selling on their site. She said I could schedule out a while in order to make that happen--even to like January if I needed to. Umm, well, I don't really think that is humanly possible. There are approximately 30 days in a month. Three months from now to the end of January=approx 90 days. So I would have to make at least 6 dresses a day for the next 90 days. Including Sundays. And Christmas. And Thanksgiving. And New Years. And my profit for killing myself and neglecting my family to do all this work? $1.50-$2.00 per dress. And that's only if I actually sold every single one I made, which I probably wouldn't. I REALLY prayed about this, because I REALLY wanted to do it. But I really feel now like the Lord is saying, you are worth more than this. Your family is worth more. It was an honor to be asked, but I will be letting the buyer know tomorrow I am not going to do it, and I know God will bless me in other ways for following His will instead of just doing it MY way.

Praise God you asked Him for His answer! And yes, He will bless you in many other ways where you don't have to kill yourself/ neglect your family trying to get that many dresses done! Proud of you!!!!! (And yes, you are worth WAY more than that!)
