Caroleen’s Treasures

That is what the name of my online store. PINOY APPLE JUICE. (Love to have an online store…no need for tarps, display windows or cardboard displays to make some sales). Lord-willing that will also be the brand name of my cloth diapers and baby slings. I named it after this little guy’s love for apples.

See that bite and the eyelashes? LOL

Sewing until wee hours in the morning made me loose weight. My tight jeans can fit me now and I am happy about that. I just wish I won’t get back to my old figure….hated my pics looking like a stick. I will keep on sewing so I won’t be needing Solo Slim to get the figure I wanted. hehehehe

These diapers are shipped to Mandaluyong and the client sent me an email right after she received the package telling me how happy she was. I just love it when people tells me they are satisfied with what they have paid for and said she will surely order again when the baby grows bigger.

I have so much to blog about that I didn’t know where to start. There are so many good things happened that I don’t know if I am just dreaming. First, orders kept coming in the way I didn’t expect but really really wanted. After delivering the orders last Sunday, I was praying nobody will call me about wanting cloth diapers or baby slings because laundry piled up in the other room and if you’ve been following my blog…you know I don’t want to do it one batch at a time. So God heard it and he really didn’t send anyone my way for orders. Someone did asked for a quote for diapers and a sling while on our way home that night and I was happy she still need a little time since she can’t access my multiply site for the fabric and sizing. So yesterday I spent more than 12 hours doing the laundry. Imagine that!

Only a few days had pass since I posted an ad in Davaosale and I am tremendously happy that I am getting good response. Well for me it is good since I am not expecting that people will find my ad or look for something like I sell. Cloth diapers and baby slings are pretty new here in the Philippines and the fact that only small portion of the population uses the internet, I have to have patience and the will to continue what I have started. I am actually close to giving up because of money issues. I need to have a good inventory because we are far from where I am getting the materials and this is preventing me from getting this little business in full swing. Also transportation is a problem but hey who told you these things will stop me? Who knows this will make us rich then I would ask Donald to check on the used rv for sale on one of the sites I have visited so we can do the shopping and deliveries much easier. He will really love that!

Guess what I found? A great site that makes business cards online! I am excited to have mine printed for my little business. I actually made a sample of what it looks like and was trying to post it here but it says Windows does not recognize the file. It is a simple card with a thread and needle on the left side and all my information on the right. Can’t believe they charge only minimal amount which I find a great deal compare to the business card I ordered two years ago. But before I can make my business card printed out, I should get a business name first so I am now thinking of a name that would make a great impact and will register well in one’s mind. I was thinking about naming it Needles and Threads but Donald suggested I’d name it after the kids. Any suggestions from you guys are very much welcome.
