Today started with a trip to Cleveland to buy 3 spools of embroidery thread and 2 light bulbs for my photography lights. Got all the embroidery threaded and launched the 30 patches I need to do - they look great! Threads are breaking from time to time but overall things are going pretty smoothly.
While babysitting the embroidery machine I am finally able to start focusing on the set-up of my work room. Dom helped me put up one of my Elfa shelves and I think I know how I want to organize my fabrics: I'm going to dedicate a shelf to each product, with cut pieces - bodies, flaps, straps - and finished products. That will help me to see how much raw material I have for each product and when I need to start processing more. Plus I'll be more prepared when I get a wholesale order.
Need to finish the process of matching bodies to flaps to straps for products other than sandwich bags. Then I need to store the material I don't need for the time being so it's not taking up a lot of space in the workroom. Plus I have to get my photography area set up; I have quite a few products to shoot and list.
And I haven't even started on the administrative/marketing/financial tasks I should be taking care of...But it's nearly midnight, so I'll save that for another day.
