two little tots...how it all started!

no major shop updates for today.  i am sewing, working on a few custom orders, that i will have pictures of soon!

but, since this week is all about k&m around here, i thought i would share with you how Two Little Tots all started!

how did i come up with the name?
the name...it was born, because of these 2 little girls...

i made a list of all shop names that i liked...the ones i loved at the time were taken.  but, then when we were on vacation last year, the name came to me...it just fit!  i have two little tots, so why not have a shop called that too! 

why i started two little tots?
i started the shop after i had been home for almost a year with the girls.  before the girls came i was 100% a corporate girl, working at target hq for 10 years!  i loved my job, but when the girls came, my heart was just not in my job anymore, but at home.  after almost a full year at home, i need more then just cleaning, reading books, singing songs, going to the play ground, etc.  don't get my wrong, i LOVE staying at home, but i needed more...something that was all mine!  i have always been creative, so i thought why not try to sell my creative stuff that i make.  and it has been a lot of fun!


now, i feel like i have the best of both worlds...i get to stay at home, enjoy the girls and do something fun for me.  sewing has been a huge outlet for me this past year.  i sew when i am stressed in life, i sew for some quite time, i sew to be relaxed...that sounds funny, but sewing is very relaxing to me...not always, but most of the time i can just get into sewing and hours will go by.  and i love shopping for fabric, that is so much fun!

more is coming...some fun post about the girls.  last year i did a post a day about them, this year it is not working out that way, but life is busy...this is the stage we are at...busy, busy, busy!

enjoy your wednesday!
