Farmer's Market

Thursday

Wow.... I have been busy lately. I had a photo shoot recently and am slowly editing my way through them. I already have a few things posted. I launched the first of my Ski Lodge collection. So happy about that. I feel some pressure off in that regard. I need to get back to inventory building now that the designing frenzy seems to have died down some. I will still design new things. I can't help that... my brain gets an idea and it's off and running around like the mad hatter. I had 2 sales earlier this week. Big things, too. (Insert Happy Dance) I still grin about it, another step! I am also hoping to get some wholesale accounts... I am going to start putting together a lookbook. Just need printer ink... better yet I think I might out source that... kind of... I love getting an idea.

Wednesday

I've been making some great progress on my new collection. It's been a little slower than I wanted because I've had things come up and I have been trying to figure out my 'day job' situation, exactly... or as exactly as I can. I am still debating on some aspects of my future. I know any choice I make requires help from people much better at things (like networking) than me.  Had another sale at me farmer's market booth, this I find encouraging. Although, I am moving toward not doing it next year.  Or perhaps on towards the end of it when the weather cools and people are thinking more about the coming months. I am also thinking more about approaching some local boutiques, but the fact that I am incredibly shy detracts from that.
In other thoughts, I am going to be doing some charity work soon. Making preemie hats for the Warm Up American's Caps For Good. I'm really looking forward to participating. Because it's all around a warm fuzzy feeling. And I love quick projects. If I can help a little one by making a hat then it's worth it. No questions asked. Now, I just need to find my size 10 double point needles.

My other newest project (like I need another one) is an online magazine/blog that I started that will focus on Etsy and it's fabulousness.

It went live on the 1st. I am really just beside myself with how excited I am about it.... I get to write regularly and look for cool stuff and interview the awesome people who sell stuff on Etsy.

I haven't had great internet for a while, but now that I do...  I am so happy to be able to use my laptop and not just my iPhone to get online... fabulous!

But I am most excited to preview my newest creations:
