As I sit here typing this I am balancing a newborn babe on my lap. I’m starting to get use to the multi-tasking that I have to do now a days in order to be productive. I’m waiting for Logan to actually take a nap; I can still hear him up there in his room rummaging through his toys. Then oh sweet heaven…I can sit at my sewing machine and CREATE!!!
We’ve had such a flurry of guests recently…which I loved having all that help but I have missed my precious Viking.
The thing I hate about taking such a long break (a month) is when I get back to work I feel so overwhelmed. I spend so much time just looking at my fabric trying to decide what the first set will be. I tend to feel pressure that the set I make has to be outstanding. This is my own weird issue…no one has sparked it in me…..just the way I am I guess.
My husband is reading this how-to book on freelance writing and I wish someone would write a how-to book about contacting stores to sell your wares. Like a wedding etiquette book….the dos and don’ts of contacting a storeowner. Ex: never call 10 minutes before the store closes. Who knows maybe someone has already written this book. And I guess I could just post my questions on the discussion boards I frequent. Ah well…just a thought.
So…I began to write this and then went upstairs to find Logan and babe were both down for the count so I started sewing. I’m working on a set to put on ebay. I feel that I should balance ebay and my website to maintain the best exposure.
Off to sew some more…..

Gretchen, I love your journal. You are so very unique - always have been - it's one of your endearing qualities.
The fact that you are creating a business that not only allows you to be a stay-at-home Mom, you are providing clothing for other people who also recognize and celebrate their own uniqueness.
Congratulations on your birth of your second child. He is adorable!
I hear you on the urge to create. Everyone, no matter how mundane they are, feels that urge. In fact, that's the urge that drives me.
