So, I’ve had this question a lot lately. “Why do you call your online store, “Daisy’s Garden?”<\/p>\n
Oh, that answer is a long one….but it goes something like this.<\/p>\n
About a year ago, one night in the middle of the night…2 am to be exact, lil’ A was up. I had yet to get my sleep back fully. She was about 4 months old and just starting to sleep the night. When I get woke up in the middle of the night, I tend to be wide awake. That means by brain is instantly turned on and I start to think.<\/p>\n
At about this time, I knew that God was telling me to stay home from teaching indefinitely. I was trying to deal with that emotionally, but was also trying to think about what I’d do. I’m highly creative, so teaching Preschool, Kindergarten and Music fit me to a tea. Creativity only goes so far with a toddler. There are times when they just want to go off and wander in their own world and I knew I’d be left playing with puppets on my own.<\/p>\n
I got to thinking about all the things I was starting to enjoy about being home. I had picked up sewing and writing mainly, as these were both things I felt were a way to let me creativity flow. I had already purchased paints for lil’ A and was working up the bravery to try finger painting. (Which honestly, I was missing the afternoons of painting in my K5 class already, so this was for me.) I was also feeling a bit lonely at times being at home all day, and thought it’d be great to have a place where mommies could go and just read and be encouraged that someone experienced the same thing as them that day. And a place to go for solid advice on children’s book, etc. I was sewing a lot of blankets for my friends who were having babies and getting some wonderful comments on the baby gift \u00a0buckets I was doing.<\/p>\n
After about an hour of thinking and lil’ A falling asleep, I had it. I would start sewing blankets to sell on Etsy.com and start a blog. I just couldn’t let all the thinking lead me to no where. After gently laying lil’ A in her crib, I tip toed downstairs and grabbed a pen. And I wrote down all my ideas. I decided since lil’A had been born in April, and April’s flower is a daisy, I’d call it Daisy’s after her. I really love little pond\/bug\/flower themes, as is evident in her nursery, so it fit with me.<\/p>\n
So after sewing and blogging for a while, I was approached by an old friend, who offered to help me get things running as one unit as opposed to all over the place-I had three lines under my name on my business card to tell you how to reach me and my products! When it came time to pick a domain name, he suggested Daisy’s Garden-and it fit. I have a huge garden of not only handmade products, but my blog, tutorials, etc.<\/p>\n
Not as glamourous as you might have expected, but it’s the story behind this company. I love what I do. I’m at home and I get to paint, color and create when I want. I guess it’s perfect. I have a vision to take Daisy’s to a brick and mortar establishment, but we’ll have to see where that leads.<\/p>\n
So, \u00a0that’s the story. As always, let me know you are reading! Visit our facebook page often, as we are ready to do some great give aways in then next few weeks!<\/p>\n
Thanks for reading!<\/p>\n
