1. So, tell us a little bit about yourself!
Hi! My name is Mary, and I am as 31-year-old Kansas girl, now living in Saint Paul, Minnesota. I moved up here in 2005 to go to law school, and proceeded to meet my husband, Paul. I turned around one day and realized that I had a husband, two dogs, a house, a job as a litigator and admittance to the Minnesota Bar - so I guess I am staying here!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKA8y94UAMOyPSsZhLpv_IxqyJYKMS6K413RIZ3BPJNtzteKj6XVFg-BPhZP5cYyYvMTXiNvFp5CTKUgno2T-dJ9EgurLZ4LpqDXd4nF0hY47S5wLFtORnVEM8s0rB1Kdz46sVeiM39SMO/s400/IMG_1720.JPG)
2. You own/work for an awesome company, huh? Do tell! Also, how long have you been involved with this company and in what capacity?![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9JmoCOPf43vOndgX9zBF40cJ07bvmalW-qpJUhvC0aIiQVqgKj06oeVwuaJjyVr3Bh8a2CmdcU2aj-B4yrSmIpYwyisz6JiKeGdvdXuFmqP7ucBo_XkTNhRXQejLERIaVh8Qh6pnx1yA/s400/Pog+Totes+Lg.jpg)

About a year ago, things went a *little* topsy-turvy when I had a really bad headache, and it was discovered that I had a very rare type of brain cyst. I ended up having brain surgery on March 24 of last year. One of the side effects is that I had speech and grip/coordination defects, along with some neurological problems. I exhausted all the therapy available, but was still in no way able to work as a litigator, (I essentially write like a young child - and it takes me forever to do so!) As a result, I was placed on long-term disability, and I am hoping that things will get better with time, It takes up to two years to fully recover from brain surgery.
However, I am in no way used to not doing a million different things. Therefore, late last summer, I decided to start up PogTotes. I really liked sewing, and I am obsessed with fabrics. I figured my little Etsy adventure would give me something to do (and an excuse to buy insanely cute fabrics).
At first I mostly sold to friends and family, but I have started getting sales to "strangers" in the last few months. It's pretty exciting! And, in case anyone is wondering, a "Pog" is my dog - who rolls around and grunts like pig. Pig Dog = Pog!
3. What are your favorite items and what would you recommend to others?
I just love my little coin purses. The lobster clips just make them so handy, and they are big enough to fit smart phones, cards, coins - a great way to stash the essentials if you don't want to carry a purse! My eReader cases have definitely been my best seller.
