MJ's Mummy - Nappies to die for!

Meet Kristy, another one of our wonderful WAHM customers. Kristy has been a customer of Nappies Covered for a long time now and she is a pleasure to have as one :)

Kristy is a mum to a gorgeous toddler (MJ) & has another baby in the making :)

Kristy started sewing MCN's to match her little girls outfits for special occassions & suddenly realised what a fortune she was wasting on disposable nappies when cloth was so easy to use (not to mention developing a little fabric buying addiction) .....the product was so great that 'MJ's Mummy' was born.

Kristy's aim is to stay at home & look after her children whilst making really cute nappies & baby products that are fun to use and are good for the environment......saving us all some money.

You can find all of Kristy's wonderful products at MJ's Mummy.

From a hobby to a work at home business

When I started my business almost 6 years ago I never imagined it would grow like it has. I never thought I was going to be a business running from home, I thought it would always remain my hobby

When I started my business, it wasn't a business - it was just a hobby.  I was selling to a few friends a product I was passionate about, I was 'sharing the love' so to speak.  It wasn't long before others shared the love too and before I knew it more and more people were requesting my items, my hobby turned into a business in a matter of weeks.

I remember my first large purchase, I spent around $500 and was quaking in my boots scared I'd made a huge mistake and I would lose all my money.

See this tub - 

I had six of these and that is what my stock was in when I first started.  I was so happy to have so much stock.  I had each tub labelled so I didn't have to dig through them to find the stock that was ordered. 

This picture below is what I have these days, not tubs but shelves and a whole warehouse full of fabric.  Since this photo has been taken my stock needs have grown once again and we are now looking at more shelving options.  If you look closely you can still see those little tubs being put to good use for smaller items!

So what is the meaning of this blog post you say?

I wanted to show others that they too can start something that is a hobby and turn that hobby into a work at home business.  You don't need much - just a passion for what you do, a few tubs and a smile on your face!
