I finished piecing rainbow baby quilt #2. It is much bigger than the other rainbow baby quilt - the same width but longer. That's OK, right?
I finally finished my pink toothbrush rug. I didn't measure it - I just kept going until I ran out of the solid pink. Both my kids want it in their rooms, but I have a feeling I'll be keeping it for myself, selfish mommy that I am!
The afterschool program ended on Wednesday. 4 of my 7 students were able to finish their patchwork pillows on time - I'll finish up the others at home and send them in to school for them next week.
I've met with the landlady of the space in town where I want to open my shop. We've come to agreement on lease terms. I'm finalizing my business plan, and now I just need to sign on the dotted line and DO IT. I think I'm gonna do it. I'm 99% sure. I'm so excited! Going into business for myself, and doing something I love! Send lots of successful wishes my way. In case you missed my blog post about this earlier this year, here are some excerpts from my Business Plan to give you an idea - my Statement of Purpose and my Business Philosophy:
Statement of Purpose

a creative space for fiber artists to sell their products, teach their craft,
share their resources and engage with a supportive and collaborative community
of other fiber artists.
Business Philosophy

Adam has started the long process of wrapping up his mom's estate. A most unenviable task.
I'm on my next to last business trip for my current job. It is about time to start the countdown - 37 days left until I no longer work at my current job. Lots of wrapping up to do there before I leave.
But for now - I'm enjoying San Francisco with my sister before tonight's meeting and tomorrow's conference. We went for a run this morning - I hate running, but my clothes are getting tight and I don't believe in dieting so it seems a necessary evil. It is so much less onerous with someone else, and I ran much farther and faster than I would have on my own. Now, it is time to explore!
