I have my product up on my etsy. They come with everything you need to get started staying cool outdoors!!!!

Many of you have figured out by now that I love creating and coming up with new ideas to spice up life. So, while laying in bed the other morning saying my prayer, an idea came to me.
My daughter had been working in the garden and came in red as a beat and hot. Living in Florida the 90's are already upon us.
So, I said I'm going to come up with a way to keep her cool when she is outside. Not just a hat and bathing suit either. lol

I have one for people and one for pets when you take them for a walk on hot summer days.
The only hint I'll give is that you wear it around your neck.
My Mom goes to our organic vege. co-op for me every two weeks and volunteers so we get the discount. She comes back hot and tired. So, she wore it yesterday, Thursday and loved it.


I can't afford a patent so I'm doing it this way. You all are the first to find out my design.

Hugs,
Marjean

After, getting some feedback, I decided to make and sell my idea instead of a pattern for now. I am going to look into getting a copyright first. Even though that won't stop people from copying it. But, that's commerce.
Like the swiffer floor duster, I saw a pattern for it in Michael's craft store. And that blanket called Snuggly, that has been copied. Even though the kid is now a millionaire who came up with the idea.

It will probably be a few weeks for me to do the copyright and find out how to market it. I was thinking one of the home shopping channels.
I'll keep you posted.

Yeah! I filed for my copyright and will hear back soon. That was so cheap, but time consuming to file. Thanks for the help farm friends.
I can't wait to get going on these. I'm checking with a lawyer before I submit to the tv shopping channels.
You will be the first to get to try them. I'm so excited. My DH is already thinking of different ways I can make them. My DM was doing the same thing and helping me come up with a name for it.
As soon as the copyright goes through I will put them on my etsy shop.
It will be this week. Wahoo!!!!

[orange]I've done my research and found that there are simular ones to mine but only a few out there like this at all.
So, coming Monday I will be putting them on my etsy shop.
www.jeanpatchbymk.etsy.com

I will take customer orders as far as color choice is concerned. I have cotton fabric in every color. If you order more than one. I will give $1.00 off for each additional one.

Get ready to be cool!!!![/

My idea has finally come together. I've made several kinds because I use them myself all over my body. Go to my etsy shop and you'll get to see what it is.
I am taking orders on any color group you want. You will be so glad to use them and thanking me for showing you my big IDEA!!!

FARMGIRL SPECIAL TWO FOR $20/free shipping

They are for the whole family including the pets. If you love to work outside but hate the heat then this is for you!!!

Hi Ruth,
They are there after the greeting cards. One is the arm band and the other one is below that one.

I'm a Florida Girl who works outside for a living (Florida State Park Ranger). I've gotta get one! Those are awesome. I'll order from your etsy site as soon as payday rolls around. Thanks for offering us such a deal.

Thank you all, I hope more and more will try them. They work so good. I'm having lawn men and my mailman try one too. My daughter just loves them. I do too.
