Well, the week has been very busy.  I have not be able to get into the sewing room at all.  I did manage to get some booties almost completed.  It is so very hard to run an at home business.  The most difficult part is "home".  Life continues to happen, and so business doesn't happen.  My kids were a part of a play this week that went with our church VBS.  That kept us on the road and with not much extra time.  Now, the VBS and play are over and we are going to have some fun at the pool.

Next week I begin training for my next Half Marathon race.  That will hinder my work a bit.  However, seeing as how I do not have any orders on the outfits that I currently have in stock, I am not too worried.  I am feeling a little discouraged about my items not selling.  When you spend so much time creating a beautiful dress, shorts outfit, capri outfit, or boys romper, you want someone else to be able to enjoy the clothing.  Also, you feel a sense of accomplishment.  You have created something that looks better than you thought.  God has blessed me with several successful outfits.  I just wish I was better at marketing, and blogging.

OK, enough of a downer.  Onto new and amazing things.  My up and coming items are a set of bloomers, and something for a little boy in cream cotton.  The bloomers will be in a cream batiste.  That material is beautiful, and delicate.  The cotton material will make a cute romper or I do have a 2 piece top and pants set for boys that I could make.  It is a tough decision.  Both would be good items for a baby boy, but I wonder which one would be most desirable.  When I have a free moment this week, I will consult my daughter.  She usually give me great ideas or helps me to find a great idea.
