Getting Into The Swing of Things...

So, this was the first week that I didn't have to think about the shop. The space is cleaned out, taxes for January are submitted, bills paid. Life is pretty good. I updated my resume (it's always good to do that while it's fresh in my memory), helped out with the auction event at my children's school, and continue to plug away at organizing my house.

My husband and his friend are a HUGE help. They took the fixtures apart for people to pick them up, made runs to the dump and recycling center, and now, they're fixing up and organizing our garage to make a bicycle work station for my husband. He really deserves the work station, with all he's done. Next on the list is organizing the storage room. It will house my yarn stash, camping, skiing, climbing equipment, etc. It will probably take another month. Then, I get to organize my fiber arts studio! The living room and dining room need an update as well.

I've decided I'm going to call my new blog (when the site gets updated) to "So You Want To Be A Yarn Shop Owner". There is a TON of interest on this subject, and I'm going to spill the beans about how to write a business plan, how much money do you need, how much time, the upsides, the downsides, etc. I hope you find it interesting as you continue to read along with this blog.

Here are some early-stage shop breakdown pics.
