Big Plans

I've been in the process of getting things in order for an exciting new project. I pretty much have my business plan finished and I've contacted a Canadian distributor. I've found a website provider and most exciting of all, I've purchased a graphic for my logo. What is all of this planning for, you might ask? I'm going to open an online yarn shop! I've yet to register the name so I won't say what it is until I register it. I can show you my lovely sheep logo (above). Still deciding on the font but I've narrowed it down to a few. I'm getting all graphics and fonts through Veer - not only because my husband works for Veer, but because they have a great selection at affordable prices. Stay tuned as my business endeavor develops.

So Much to Make...So Little Time

I've been gathering supplies and patterns like some sort of crafting maniac in the hopes to use them to make some sweet creations. However, that pesky thing known as a full time job keeps getting in the way. At this rate, I think I'd need a full month off just to get started on everything I want to make. Needless to say, I'm still gathering and still planning so that every chance I get I've got something fun to work on.

These are just a few of the things I've been gathering and planning:

LOVE LOVE LOVE this yarn! The colours available are so great and I just adore bamboo!

 

I'm hoping to use the bamboo yarn to make these beauties. I bought this pattern from Spilly Jane Knits. She has fantastic colour knitting patterns and it was so hard to pick just one! 

I found this fantastic Amy Butler fabric in a local quilting shop. I also bought some coordinating Kona Solids in pale yellow, sage green, and coral. 

 

I bought this pattern a few weeks ago and I can't wait to use my Amy Butler fabric to stitch up a few of these. I love Keyka Lou's etsy shop! I want to try all of her patterns!

I can't wait to get started on these! Now to find the time...
