I did not name this blog Absolutely Sweet Chaos for nothing!
Not much has been going on really of note. I am working like a mad woman - quilts, fabric store, chauffeur, shows, accounting, marketing, etc. etc. And the cutting - I cut fabric every single day - every day. Not for anything, just cutting into smaller pieces - 3 yards, fat quarters, 1/2 yard, 9" x 12", you name it, I cut it.
The kids are doing good at school. Theater for my daughter is something to be desired. Makes us long for the other theater with all the problems. But academically, they are doing really good. We just finished the 1st 9 weeks and all As and Bs. I could not ask for more. The transition from homeschooling was pretty smooth. Our son still wants to homeschool, but he understands why we are doing this. That is the only real problem, he is struggling to find friends, but this has always been an issue of his.
Work - Work, work, work, work. I have 9, possibly 11 quilts to get done by Christmas. This is still what is left from "finishing up". Lord, I cannot wait to be done with these quilts. I have refused more than I count. No, I do not want to do it as business no matter how many I can get. It is just too much work.
The Fabric Store is slow going, but building. Designers are blogging about me and a few others link me in their "where you can buy" area. I am going to be sponsoring a Quilt show in Dallas and here close to me at the beginning of next year. Lots of marketing, like most of my time is spent marketing. Writing, take pictures, thinking of new and interesting topics. It is WORK! I have a whole new respect for those in advertising and marketing.
It has done nothing but rain here. Like every day. We have had almost no sun and it is getting to me a bit. I feel a little down, but nothing a bout of sun could not help. I need to start taking my Vitamin D.
Anyway, I have stopped and started a million times. I will post pictures of my little shop soon.
I am on and reading from time to time. Love you all!
