November Calendar!

Nothing like waiting until just the last perfect moment to post our November calendar. It has been in the works for quite some time. But for some reason I thought all of you could just read our minds and find out when to come to class.

For those who are not mind readers, here is the our latest and greatest schedule for the month of November.  And for those that are not quite hip enough to figure out our abbreviations (don't worry, not many have caught on), MOD is our acronym for Molly O Designs of course! So text away my friends, you will never again need to spell out Molly O Designs when telling all your friends to check out this amazing fad that is sweeping the nation. MOD, MOD, MOD. How cool are we? LOL (hey, LOL started somewhere too).

If you are feeling a little jealous and left out from all the MOD private classes, then don't forget to book your own! As the hostess, you get lots of great freebies plus you can get your own special dot on our calendar. Now that is an incentive on its own!



 Email us at info@mollyodesigns.com if you would like to book a class. We would love to hear from you!

Fab Flowers - New for Molly O Mondays

We LOVE this class. There are so many ways to wear this fabulous flowers. And they are so quick and easy to make. Our new Molly O Fab Flower class is being launched during our Molly O Mondays.

 

These flowers are perfect for reviving your wardrobe. So often I look into my closet and just see black shirts that go on endlessly. No color, very little texture.  But by adding a fab flowers, you have an instant pop of color and a new layer of texture giving you an entirely new design. What a great way to update your closet on a budget!

Add a full necklace to a shirt or dress and you will stop people in their tracks!

Are you stuck in the Mommy ponytail rut? Easy fix! Choose a side pony and a flower to accent it. Who says being a mom means wearing a messy ponytail and sweatpants?! Throw a flower on your tshirt and one in your hair and you will be the envy of all those moms at playgroup.

Super Star Moms!

In every Molly O class we always have at least one superstar. I love these women! They take what they learn and run with it. Go above and beyond what you expected. Some just go crazy with it. And that is when I LOVE to share what they have done. 


Look at Super Star Natalie! She took our Boutique Bow class with the intent on making adorable bows for her little girl. Instead she made HUGE quantity of bows to give out to all the little girls competing in her daughter's pageant. What a great gift! Can you imagine receiving these in your goody bag?  The best part is that it was inexpensive and left an impression on all the girls and moms that received them.

Who Is Your Target Audience?............Surprise, You Are Wrong!

I'm always trying to define our Target Audience in order to grow our business. Often when I do an interview the question comes up, "who is your Target Audience." Every time I think that I have it figured out, I get a great surprise!

When we first began Molly O Designs, we defined our target audience as 20 - 30 something year old moms. Moms with small children. Then we did a class for a group of retired women, and then a group of single girls, and then a bridal party and then a 12 y.o. girls birthday party. Hmmmmm, I guess our audience is bigger then we thought. The lines of our audience were no longer clearly defined.

Nothing makes me more excited then to see a "new" audience at one of our classes. Last night we have a great little surprise in the form of 12 y.o. Devin.

Devin arrived with his mom, took one look at all the tools involved with our Stamped Jewelry class and got to work designing. It was so great to see his creativity mixed with that typical boy infatuation with tools. Hammers, steel stamps, pliers and bench blocks, it doesn't get more manly then that. Well a maybe a little more manly, but this class definitely jumps the line between crafting and tool time.

At the end of class he had made 4 charms in total and added them all to a very "manly" leather cord. The perfect look for a pretty cool young man.  (Look at proud mama Sophie in the background!)

Great job Devin! And go tell all your friends how cool and "manly" it is to take a crafting tool pounding class at Molly O! 

Proud Mama!

It makes my heart sing with joy when my children pick up one of my skills or passions. I try not to push or force them to do the things I love. But when they show interest on their own, it turns me into a very proud mama.


The other day, my oldest daughter picked up a discarded piece of a skirt that was laying on the cutting area floor. I had just transformed my friends skirt into a sun dress for her 2 y.o. daughter. But there was a piece left over that was about to go in the trash. When my 8 y.o. saw it, she just had to have it!

So she found a needle and thread and went to work. It brought a little tear to my eye *sniff*. Proud Mama moment.

She worked and worked on that little piece of fabric. I finally asked her what she was making. "A new dress for my American Girl doll. She is feeling sad." Hmmm, o-kay. But why is she sad I asked?

Because of what Gabriella did to her. Gabriella is our 4 y.o. and is (clearing throat) very spirit.

O-kay, tell me how your little sister made your American Girl sad...................................

Proud Mama moment over.



Maybe I should enroll Gabriella in art class.
