Finding a Nitch
I have wanted to be everything under the moon. I wanted to be a marine biologist, an art teacher, a criminal psychologist, a cosmetologist, a travel agent, a small business owner, a ceramacist and of course a knitter.
Out of everything I wanted to be, my longest lasting would be teacher, small business owner and knitter. Then just about 2 weeks a go my sisters boyfriend's mom asked me if I would knit her some mittens.
Well besides just the enjoyment of knitting, I loved playing around with the packaging and going that extra step to make the final product worth her money. From printing my own fabric tags to sew in, to finding the perfect natural cloth, ribbon and recycled paper to give it the organic look i love...I just enjoyed every second.
As I finished tying up all the bundles I felt such a feeling of accomplishment. I think I am finding my perfect little nitch in the world...putting in to motion the things I want to do and that I believe I can do.
And I am so excited about it.
oh yeah, and to top it all off...she just ordered 6 more pairs.

I can't believe this... great minds think alike... I have similar logotags, ajust cardboard tags with logo and wrap my packages in brown paper with brownpaper cords... Great taste you have Drea Renee!
cute, cute, CUTE wrapping!!!!
Another thing that catches my attention...I swear I have a piece of striped fabric that is the little oval of your labels. It surprises me every time I see it.

I'm glowing green with envy for your printed labels. I must know your secret! What type of labeling did you use and where did you get it? *^_^*v
