It's my Blog in a Blog...

Hey all! Happy New Year!!!! Since my last post I have taken on a job with a great website DIYStyle.net doing a blog. Wanted to let everyone know that I am currently a "Creative Chick" on DIYStyle and if you have any interest in fashion, sewing, or crafts then you should check out this site. You can also look forward to future vodcasts and maybe even some video diaries of me on there in the future. Pretty cool stuff!!! See what I've been up to!

Right now I am working on some patterns for things. I made some clothes as gifts for Christmas and am going to venture into the realm of children's clothing. I have been researching a ton into getting my own online business started but am worried about the current economy state. I think that it might set a major dissadvantage to the sites survival if I start right now. But we will just have to see. Maybe I'll just go balls to the wall and do it. Seems like something I would do, right? Look forward to more on this!!! ;)

I'm selling everything and becoming a blogger!!!

I have decided this week that I am going to start selling my designs online! I have found a really amazing website to host my things and deal with the payments (which is what I didn't want to deal with at first). I will soon have my own website up that customers can link to from ETSY so people can look at past things sold and things that are currently selling along with getting a feel of me as a designer and then link to ETSY.com to purchase any items they may want. Right now I am putting up things that I have made in the past so if you went to any of my Fashion Shows and think you have to have one of my designs then go check out if you can still buy it on MegsCouture.ETSY.com!!! Things will be going fast once they are all up!!!

I have also been asked to start writing a blog for DIYStyle.net! This will be the life of Meghan Petty in NY trying to swim in a sea of designers...sounds like a nail biter, right? So make sure to keep up with that if you are interested. It's so Sex in the City....maybe I'll title it Design in the city or maybe better yet Sex & Design in the City!!! I don't know if they would go for the later one but we'll see.

Autism Awareness: Model Citizen Fashion Show

This school year some of the seniors were asked to show their senior collections in a charity event title Model Citizen. This fashion show raised money for the Center for Autism in Columbia, MO. This year around 700 people attended and around $120,000 was raised. The pictures I placed are taken by a wonderful photographer that photographs most of my stuff, Caty Smith. You can look for her soon in some National Geographic things. Whoot Whoot!
