Everyday I'm Hustlin'

I'm not hiding behind the counter anymore, no longer hoping those passing by don't see me. The deadbolt is off the door, and the welcome sign is out. I sure am glad that folks weren't afraid to come on in. Since adding the new additions to Baby Squares, and sprucing the place up, people have taken interest, and I have followed up on that interest. The result? THREE custom Baby Squares blankets in the works, and me stepping outside my crafty comfort zone to try new granny square motifs. I am grateful for the support, and for the push to own my entrepreneurship. Its still a little difficult for me to view what I have going here as a business, or maybe its difficult for me to begin viewing myself as a small business owner. However, its not very difficult to get excited about the approaching arrival of new babies!

Every time I see that video I crack up.

Haven't stopped by in a while...the blankets are great as are the pics! And bell hooks is ALWAYS a good read.

@ Redbonegirl97: I love this video too... the whole special.

@ ajgallion: Thank you! I got the expert eye of a friend for the pics this time around and I was very grateful!

Hey Sis!

So proud of you...and "hell to the yeah!!!" Baby Squares IS a business. I love that you have explored, experimented, and embraced, your talent. It's the sky from here and I'm so happy! Can you hear me smiling???!!!

So symbolic is "...the approaching arrival of new babies!" Just as babies signify a new beginning, so does your recognition that you have been blessed with a wonderful gift that will touch many lives. The energy with which you make your pieces are sure to bring an even bigger blessing to the families that "weren't afraid to come on in".

I say we shop Babies R' Us and try to get some of those pieces in there. Just let me know when you're ready and we can get in proposal mode!

Love it/YOU!
XOXO
