Maddie has an etsy shop!

Maddie decided that she wanted to start her own business, so I helped her set up an etsy shop -- Maddie's Weaving Workshop.

She is *so* excited about this and she is keeping a journal documenting all the details. This is one fun part of homeschooling -- we are turning this into a school project and I think it will teach her a lot about working and finance as well as how to use Photoshop and other computer tools. And she is having so much fun. I remember when I was a kid and I had a big plan of some sort -- it's fun to see her grow up and get involved in a project.

So, if you are in need of a potholder, please visit her etsy shop! I'm sure she will be ridiculously ecstatic when she makes her first sale.

oh, i love this! my 7 yr old homeschooled boy has has a shop in his room for a couple months but since we don't get tons of visitors, well, his sales are slumped. I may recommend etsy! good for her!

very good idea - even if you're not homeschooling - something that could teach a kid so much about handling money, business, etc.

where do you get your potholder loops from? there's a nifty weaving project I'd like to try if I could get my hands on a bunch of them...

Ooh - lucky me - I just bought Maddie's red and green potholder. Of course, I HAD to buy it as my siblings and I made potholders and went around the neighborhood selling them (and taking custom orders to match your kitchen). This really brought back great memories. Good luck Maddie!

I used to make those as a kid. Is Maddie taking orders? I'd be interested in a set of blue and yellow ones or blue and white.
