Work-At-Home Basement Creations

The Seattle Times:

Who knew there was a market for “iPoo”?

Kimberly Smith of Kent was looking for a creative outlet and maybe a little extra cash when she quit her job as a clothing designer at Nordstrom to stay home with her two young boys.

She took her computer, a heat press and “a pretty sarcastic sense of humor” into her basement office and started cranking out T-shirts and baby onesies after her kids were asleep each night, stamped with phrases like:

• “Mommy drinks because I whine”

• “Boob man”

• And the top-selling, Apple-inspired “iPoo.” (Also available in “iPee” and “iPuke.”)

Nearly 725 sales later, Smith’s little basement venture is bringing in nearly as much as she earned working full time — “except I get to do this in the hours that suit me.”
