Since I've started this blog, I've become aware of lots of women who have small businesses doing things they love for a little extra cash. They all seem to be party-related - isn't that fun! Mack's co-worker, Angela L., makes these adorable diaper cakes - perfect for a baby shower or gift. I don't know if you can disassemble it and use the diapers - maybe not, but wouldn't it be great for an emergency supply? Let me know if you're interested in one (leave a comment) and I'll get you her contact information. I'm also thinking of the pinatas and cakes I've featured in previous blog posts.
To all my crafty friends, I should share a website I recently became aware of: http://www.etsy.com/
Their tag-line is "Your place to buy & sell all things handmade." My sister-in-law, Marjorie, told me about it. She's considering selling some of her beautiful knitted items there. I received a yellow knitted cotton dishcloth from her for Christmas and it adds a little bit of luxury to wiping the countertops. I've been thinking of making some cards to sell there. There's a small fee to list your item and then you pay a certain percentage of your selling price when you sell it. Let me know if you've tried it.
Of course, the best cottage industry I know about is my friend Lundy's booming website development, design and search engine optimization business. She's so resourceful and energetic - I'm glad she invited me to partner with her on MomsLeap. Great things are in store!

Can you order the cake made with Depends ? Perfect gift for the older crowd.
