Business Blues

A well known member of the ap-biz world is contemplating liquidation. She's been around so long, and her business is so well established that I just can't believe it. If she can be tottering on the edge, what's to keep me afloat? Who's to say who will be next? The economic climate is scary right now.

I've already felt the weird rumblings. Sales are down for Novemeber. I've gone through considerably less silks than I normally have by mid-Nov. Of course it doesn't help that every new wahm and her sister are selling playsilks, and most are undercutting the market. That's an entirely seperate rant, to be saved for another day along with my feelings on these so called "co-ops" that are constantly popping up online. I should have had to reorder wooden toys again already, instead I'm actually fully stocked on dollhouses and barns right now. Worriesome things to think about after the business troubles others are going through...

On a more positive note, I finished the back of Vincent's lime sweater! The lime is a more vivid green than it looks in the picture. It's a hard shade to capture on camera.



Abigail isn't feeling well today. She has a slight fever and headache. Naturally Isabella is testing out her shriek voice today. Oiy, poor Abigail. Isabella has been so fun and quirky the last few days. She's really changing again, and I'm enjoying it. I'm thankful for my renewed determination to stay calm and relaxed with my little spirited challenge. She's such a neat child.
