Here's to a New Year!!

I think I say this every year about this time. One thing on my "list" for 2011 to do is to be a better blogger. From October to the First of the New Year, the days, nights, and life in general just have a way of passing me by!

This past year my mom and I stayed busy with our new business embarkment. Originally we purchased an embroidery/sewing machine combo in September 2008 and we stayed busy throughout those holidays. After those holidays, I came up with the idea of designing teacher school shirts and they have been a HIT. From July 2009 to September 2009 we purchased 2 commercial machines so that we could just keep our heads above water. We are looking forward to a great 2011 year!

I, personally, have 3 main goals for the beginning of 2011 as far as sewing/embroidering. 1. Learn how to use the cap frames that we have. We bought everything that we need in order to embroider caps but just haven't had the time to go and let them show us how to use them. 2. Learn how to digitize. Again, we have the software to be able to do it but I haven't had the time to go and learn. 3. Take more sewing classes. My mom is the sewer. I can do the basics but just don't feel comfortable enough to purchase a pattern and tackle it by myself.

Now that it's the New Year, my main focus will be to begin coordinating the annual Bunco event benefiting the Ronald McDonald House of Central Georgia. Looking for volunteers, asking for door prizes and silent auction items, getting as many players possible and getting it all organized. This will be my third year holding the event and I'm hoping that it will be even better this year than the previous years! We shall see!

So here is to 2011! Cheers! :)
