Brainstorming

Just had to jot down a few ideas for the upcoming themes in the Phat Fiber box...April is "All Creatures Great and Small" and May is "Blossoms and Bark". So far, Im thinking..."all creatures great and small; all things wise and wonderful" So, maybe a "Wise and Wonderful" batt series? hmmm, on paper is just doesnt sound as great. Does anyone read this thing? I'll take any ideas in the comment section that I can get!

Blossoms and Bark: really wanting to do "all bark", and "a little bite" batts. Hmmm...okay, brain is sufficiently smoking!

Also, if anyone cares to comment: I am officially a Global Mamas wholesaler! Take a look at the site and let me know what you would like to see me carry (on a future website...not too far in the future, for sure!) I need ideas!

Oops

Okay, so I realized that I have been on the "epic fail" end of the whole blogging consistently thing! Here I go! Probably very briefly today, but I figure it is better than nothing!

It has been quite a whirlwind here, and I can finally post about it! I was offerred a job at another social service agency here in town: wow. WOW! I literally had between 4 and 6 interviews for this position, so naturally, I didnt think I would get the position. Then, after weeks of deliberation, I get a phone call with a job offer. Okay...so, they wanted an immediate answer, which I was completely unprepared to give. I accepted after some deliberation. After more deliberation and a healthy serving of drama, I am scheduled to start on April 5th. Holy shit.

More news: I am officiallly a registered business in the county of Kent and have received my Michigan tax ID! Huge step. It was definitely something I wanted to do this year and Im really proud of myself and super excited. I am now awaiting approval to become an official Global Mamas retailer. That would be beyond awesome. Working on getting my March samples all finished up and carding up some batts for the shop. Did a major update with fibers last weekend, which was also exciting. It seems to be a year for progress, in some ways, and a year for personal challenges, in many other ways. That leaves something for another post, however...

OBO has been baking bread up a storm and I cant wait to get some pictures here. I thought I had uploaded them to Flickr, but I suppose I will have to wait till I get home! I feel better for making this commitment to blogging (look at me, being all responsible and proactive and shit!)
