Step Two-Creating New Products

As we are prepairing for our first big show, we're working on developing a few new lines of products. As this show is now less than two weeks away, we really need to get working harder than ever at getting things made. I just yesterday started on a line of blankets and hats for baby dolls to coincide with the baby blankets and hats already offered.  Our girls seem to love these, so hopefully they will do well.  DJ is working on a line of bracelets that coordinate without exactly matching with the earrings he already makes.  These will be available in both adult and children's sizes.  There is a distinct possibility that he will also be making some anklets as well considering that they have been requested at the market.

The farmer's market that we work each week is becoming more and more profitable.  I'm glad to see that business is picking up on that front because online sales are still at a standstill and DJ is starting to get worried that we will never really get this new venture of ours off the ground.

On a lighter note, as we are prepairing for all that comes over the next few weeks we are getting amazing responses on all the work we're doing from family and friends.  And, somehow, we still manage to get in a few hours at least every few days for fishing.

Well, off to make more blankets for this hopeful crafter.  More to come as time goes on.
