Not dead yet
I feel like it's been about a week since I last posted, so it's probably been a little longer. Suffice to say I have a quick list of updates before I hopefully post a new photo-rich installment later this week:
1. Happy upcoming birthday to Ms. Judy, on Wednesday. Ideally my "photo rich installment" will show images of her finished birthday present.
2. I think I finally found my moving announcements.
3. I am also finishing some very cute skirts that I'll take pics of, to be dropped off at TL6 The Gallery in New Bedford.
One of them is a shorter version of the skirt I'll be teaching at The Stitch House on May 13th and 20th, in a two-part workshop. So if you need a bright, summery skirt for the season, and you enjoy sewing, come on down to The Stitch House for the class! Sewing experience helpful, but you need not be advanced. And you'll get to keep the pattern too!
4. I really am making those t-shirts. (See bottom of the post.) They really will be about $5.00 each. If I get Greenward or OAK to carry them, you might have to pay more since they have to mark up to cover rent. But the gist is that I would only keep $1.00 of the money I net from the sale of each shirt; the remainder would be donated to charity.
I am debating which charity. So far I am a big fan of both Doctors Without Borders and The Carter Center. Please let me know if you have other suggestions, ESPECIALLY for Boston area charities. Seriously.
Hopefully this will generate some much needed monetary support in addition to some great dialogue (via the wearing of the shirts). I just ordered some great stamps on Etsy for painting on the messages, so I'll have photos of the shirts and links to where they're being sold (including my Etsy shop) this weekend or early next week after I finish the first few.
More suggestions for slogans are also welcome! What do you want people to "Ask me about"?
