Being Creative

I've been trying to think of a product I could make and sell as I love being creative in some way.


present design
cupcake design
For a few years I tried handmade greeting cards which I still have a stock of (see Kelly Card Designs) but it didn't seem to take off. I only really sold to colleagues and friends. I tried craft fairs, my own website and eBay but only sold a handful this way. I did have a couple of commissioned cards which was fun but it wasn't going to create a wage for me.
I also tried making beaded jewellery but it went the same way as the cards plus if you go to craft fairs i always found a lot of competition so you don't always get a place.

Drawing on my wedding invites
I've always loved being Arty in some way, at school I used to decorate my school books which the teachers didn't like. I made my Wedding Invitations, customised furniture in my house, I've even tried to customise clothes ( that didn't work out).

What's next, well the craze of the sock monkey has started my brain ticking...... Could I make something else out of socks umm I've seen someone make pigs so I can't do that and they seem popular so as I looked at my son he had a t-shirt saying "mummy's little monster" so that's it I'm making Sock Monsters ha!

What do you think? Here is my first attempt of a sock monster..... do I have potential?

I'm going to make another one hehe!

    I love your Sock monster, I went through a phase of making Sock monkeys didn't really sell them on my facebook page as there was too much competition and my friend makes them, hers were far superior than mine :-) she does really weel selling them maybe you should have a go as a sock monsters are a little bit different and sock monkeys are everywhere.

    Thanks for your comment, I did think about selling them as it's enjoyable plus it might stop me from going on facebook and twitter so much ha! I think I need little more practice with these but they seem to have the approval of my little man.

    Hey dear thank you so much for sharing such a nice creativeness. I also know one of the best use of flowers by turning them into colors. It need water, A mashing brush and some glue. then it can be turned into the paint color for your baby room's wall.
