Yeah! Sookie Wraps are now in Chicken Little Childhood Outfitters and soon to be in Milla & Sol this week. Lookout here we come to hold up little one's pants everywhere :)

Lot of supplies coming, so more products will be listed soon. I am sewing like mad, and stalking my mailcarrier on a daily basis.

Happy Snow Day!

Well I have decided I am as ready as I will ever be. With just a few more gliches to work out on my website it is up and going and "Sookie Wraps" are ready to order!

I am heading out this week to talk with interested retailers and we will see how that goes. Other products on the site will be coming soon, I am definately wanting them up for Christmas and my time is starting to crunch down.

I am also super excited about belt buckles that we are going to be adding, these are really cool!

I will be starting a facebook page also, as it is such an easy way to keep all of my customers informed. I never knew what an online business would require when I started all of this. I am feeling a bit like Drew Barrymore's character in "He's just not that into you", when you is having a hard time between her myspace page, facebook, her blog, her e-mail etc... It does get pretty involved, lol.

I hope everyone is having a great week I can't believe we are almost one month until Christmas!

I came across this quote today that was posted on a blog that I love to follow origionalhardware.blogspot.com. One day I will buy loads and loads of her creations, I absolutley love her work.

After reading it, it really relates to what I have been working on these last six months. I have always wanted to be my own boss and to work with color and texture on a daily basis. As I am getting very close to launching my website and working at aquiring stores to carry my Sookie Wraps, it never has left me this whole journey that we really need to step forward to get to where we want to go. Otherwise we will just stay in safety, never knowing what we could have attained or accomplished. And dreams then are only places that we visit in our sleep.

And though many times after I have been up way too many nights until 2am, I have asked myself why am I doing this. And then doubt sets in with being able to do it at all. I look at my children and know that I am also teaching them to dream big and to have the courage to always go for it. So today I encourage everyone to step forward, you never know where it will take you. It might just take you to a place where dreams do come true!
