March In Like a Lion and out Like a Lamb

So its March how this year has started to fly by. Well I am tring to get motivated on creatin some of my items but just cant for the life of me. and I am a bit frustrated Etsy.com hasnt really worked for us and so disappointing. I am now tring to do ebay with thrift store finds and doing fairly well with that but not making tons of money. I need a better way of putting out our items on the market and with little moeny dont have much to use on websites and listing items without selling them. So what to do what to do...... Notsure looking for some great ideas

Thinking of sewing for charity at least I feel like I am doing something useful have found this great charity www.littledressesforafrica.org really loved this one you make pillowcase dresses for orphans or t-shirt dresses for the teen girls and also you can make "britches for boys" for the young boys and teens boy and I am going to bring this up to my church ladies and have sent a message to a friend for her Girl Scout troop and see if they are interested . iam thinking of going to our local school who still have Home Ec classes and see if the teachers are interested in having thier students make some at least for one semester to donate.

There are so many other charities I would love to get involved in but need to do so much more research and to see if I really agree with their missions.. and ot make sure who they intend to give the items to really get them... I do implore you if you are interested in the charity above do make some great little dresses for these lovely little girls who are so delighted in to receive their dresses you can go to the website to see for yourself and see if this is for you ...
