Blech

Yessss, I have been sick. Not sick of things but sick with a COLD! Blech, I say.
In the midst of all, we had the mountain wedding reception for Ian and Stefh, but I couldn't even deal with that. Linda and Bill handles everything including the decorating and cleanup.
It turned out beautiful, the kids were so humble and happy. It was the most diverse group of people, but they were such a lovely group of people and all managed to laugh, talk, etc... with one another.
The food was yummy, the kids were so well behaved, it was lovely.

But that effort of entertaining meant I pushed it and lapsed backwards a bit with being ill. But I am on the mend and have to now focus on the business again. A few sales are not doing it for me and I have to make a leap here somewhere.

So no more sickness etc...NEXT...!

LIMBO!!

LIMBO!!
That's what we are now. Nothing is doing amazing. Even online sales are eh.
But I am on to getting some things together for retail holiday. My friend Alice turned me on to some burlap in tan and greenish. Love it! So I had to come up with a plan for production. So I found some scarves that I kept that weren't really for selling but perfect for cannibalizing.
So here I am on a binge of creating holiday ornaments. Trees, stockings, gingerbread men and bears. Primitive and fun. I finally got my system down.

So I am sewing away. I am tithering and tathering.
So tonight my blog is about the whiling among the days where I am prone to find some niche this holiday that can carry the rent.
 So here I am going to make my inventory large and in charge for the retail landscape. :)

Honeymoon over? Nah.

Honeymoon over? Nah.
The wedding on August 22nd was wonderful. I didn't realize how significant it was for me. Chris K. minimized for me to be present at their ceremony and actually just didn't tell me. Now looking back I am upset and hurt for all. It was denied from Larry, the grandparents etc... it was as if they knew they were up to no good. But I hold the secret that one day will be a big breather for Chris.
The ceremony for Ian and Stefh was at the San Bernardino Hall of Records and actually was a nice place. They had two rooms appropriately decorated for a non-denominational, non-anything but it was nice. Everyone was able to attend and everyone was happy. Grandpa Jim and Grandma Nancy came with Aunt Bett and Uncle David. They were a breath of fresh air.

Yesterday the kids moved into their own place. It is a very cute apartment, one bedroom, walk in closet, bedroom as big as the livingroom. Perfect for a starter. Brought them a Danish modern credenza, large stuffed chair and a small entry table. But all I can say about the inland empire or the IE, is it is very very hot. I am so so not used to it. I was ready to pass out.

Anyhow the kids are on their way and next we will have their little reception on the 27th on the mountain.
Also picked up a new fridge at Lowes, but that was another story.
