Touch of Gray Designs

Fun news! I have been working like a madwoman over the past month to start my own business! I know…it’s crazy! Now that I am an official stay at home mom, I have been thinking of some different things I could do with my time while Grayson is sleeping. Making a little money on the side to pay for diapers is nice too! Thinking through my talents and gifts over the past months has been wonderful and enlightening. The Lord opened my eyes (with a little help from some friends)…sewing! When I was younger I took sewing lessons for years, but with teaching and now having a family, I have not had the time to really sew like I used to. So I worked and prayed, and Touch of Gray Designs was born (named after Grayson, of course).
The website of my little shop is www.touchofgraydesigns.etsy.com . It is a part of www.etsy.com, which is an amazing shopping experience where every item on the site is handmade. Being a new mom, I am engrossed in everything baby, and so I thought baby/children items are what I want to make and sell. I have made blankets, burp cloths, and sweet little hand stitched onesies and shirts. I also have bags, key rings, and items for the home. Everything has been such fun to make and I am so excited for this little business to grow and grow.
I am NOT a salesperson. It terrifies me….in the way public speaking does to others. I don’t expect my friends and family to go out and buy everything, I just wanted all of you to have the chance to browse around and maybe find something you like or need for a gift. I also can make anything in different sizes, colors, or if you have a new fun idea that I should try! If you send my link to your friends that would be awesome! Also if you have any ideas of ways I can market my store, I would love the info. Thanks for reading!
