The latest and greatest

So as I lie awake at night thinking; since little man has already decided that I'm not allowed to sleep much, I've been coming up with some thoughts in regards to starting up my own business. I've thought about doing some animal work of some sort but most agriculture based business would require a great deal more land than I have available to me at the moment, not to mention a great amount of risk attached to it. So after all the things that I've been crafting lately I gave some thought to my own crafting store.

And after much thought and deliberation realized that there really isn't much of anything in the area that would constitute a specialty craft store. Ok yes there are a few places that have quilting and fabric type stuff going on but really no one that has reached out to yarn crafting. Well considering my craft of choice is crochet it would be in my interest to have somewhere that I could get specialty yarns and materials to make yarn crafts.

Well I talked to some people about it and talked to my mom and she gave me a great little tip. There is a group called SCORE and they work with the small business administration to help people start, run and sell small businesses. So I dropped them a line let them know what I'm thinking and now have a plan coming to order! I'm so excited! I have an appointment in two weeks to sit with some counselors to go over some business ideas, particularly whether or not this would even be a viable option in the area and then start coming up with a game plan from there.

So now I'm off to do some hunting around on the Internet, maybe a stop down to the library later and try to figure out how I am going to fund the start up of this operation. He mentioned friends, family and fools (or people willing to make the long shot investment) but since none of those are really realistic options for me I'll see what I can find. After all I'm an unemployed single mother, someone has to want to throw money at me right? They just toss it to politicians who squander it on cars and fancy suits. I want to make good use of it and promote economy.

In the mean time little miss is supposed to be cleaning her room, and while that's not usually too much of a task for her, for some reason today it seems to be almost impossible to keep her focused. Speak of the devil here she comes asking me to make mashed potatoes because she is so starving! I swear you would think I never feed this kid. Except for the fact that now all the sudden she is soooooo tired and needs to lay down on the couch and watch her pony show because she is so tired... what a piece of work.
