My friends and I like to DIY, or do it yourself. After 20 minutes with some scissors, glue and manila folders, Emili can craft a quirkily beautiful set of cards decorated with flower appliques. My kid sister can make a cute sock puppy out of a pair of socks, buttons, thread and some pillow stuffing. I once made floppy pillows from a bolt of leftover kimono fabric. I don't think any of us will ever give up our day jobs. I got tired of ramming stuffing into and fluffing the pillows that I deliberately made some pillows more floppy than the others. I did encourage Emili to box her cards and sell them for $20 per set. The most entrepreneurial of the bunch is my sister, who took the initiative to think of a name for her sock puppy business (Tu Designs) and open an e-mail account to accept correspondence and orders. She gave me the friends and family discount for what I believe is the third cloth canine she's ever created. I worry that once people catch on to how adorably charming the critters are, I'll have to wait in line and pay full price along with the rest of the hoi polloi.
