Moving...

My blog has moved to: http://tiialinartcraftdesign.blogspot.com... This is also doubling as my online spot until I have my full site ready! Thanks for stopping by and I see you there!

Wondering

 I donated the 2 items shown here to a charity auction a few months ago. And I am so happy to have been able to do that. But now I am wondering who they went home with.
Does that person or persons know that I very lovingly made those and value the work?
I am assuming they would. I am also wishing they would email me and say something. Why? So, I can send the a thank you note for donating and for picking one of my items.

Monday

It's October! My favorite holiday is.. what.. 17 days away. Oh, yes. I'm excited about that. Even better, it's not bitter cold... yet. I probably spoke too soon.
In other news. The mod for school is in it's second week and I have only one class. What a relief. I'm feeling much more focused and not just on school. But my business. I'm working on a plan to get my name out there. And I just need $60, to get started on part of it. Hopefully I'll come across that this week. The mere thought of moving forward with this moves me so.

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.

Farmer's Market

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.
