*yawn*

I'm really very super tired. Does that make sense? I have done SO much work the past few days. I sold about 8 things this weekend, so I'm really psyched. I've been working on adding more to my shop, streamlining a bit, still not done with the stuff I'm sending to Maine, etc. I've been meaning to type up some sort of schedule, but I haven't yet. When I get behind my sewing machine, I totally lose track of time and that's not good for me, or the rest of the house. Rob has been doing all the laundry and housework *yikes*, but thank you. He's my official shipping dept. He packs all my stuff and ships it out. Thank god for that, because I have no time for it. Somewhere on this road, I ditched my Virgoan organization skills, and became a little crazy. Which is good for me once and a while, but I'm realizing that I wasn't made to endure this kind of chaos for long periods. The time to structure and organize has come.

Here is a new product of mine - it's a wallet. I'm going to be making more of these very soon, and ridding of some items in my shop to make room. I like this wallet - it's SO cool, I made one for myself too.



I officially became a business today - I filed with the IRS and have an EIN and everything. Cool, huh? What's not cool is that I have to pay taxes at the end of the year, and monthly to the state. BOO. I have to start charging sales tax to MA residents. Thankfully, my father is working part time as a tax-filer-guy, so he knows how to do this stuff all legit-like.

I'm going to a friend's house tomorrow for a few hours, which will be nice...breaks are good. Ok, time for bed. :^)

  1. Sounds like business is taking off! I hear you on the scheduling and organizing- when I get so busy crafting that I can't keep up with everyday things, I kind lose my mind! I even create better when things are flowing smoothly all around me! Speaking of which... time to get some things done!
