Oh Good Grief.

Oh lookit!  I finally get my butt into gear and decide to write a blog post and they went and changed it all.  :/  Like I don't have enough trouble figuring out what the hell I am doing.  Let's review!!  I think it took me months and months to figure out how to post pictures.    And then it was a pain in the ass.  I don't know if it's the iphoto silliness or if it's just that the old system was annoying.  Maybe it's me.  It's probably me.  But it is much easier now!!   I'm not saying the changes are bad.  I'm just saying it's gonna take me a bit to get it all figured out.  Could be months.  Or years.  Because while I love chattering on and on, the figuring out of the technical details?  Not so much.  I would rather be sewing.  Or drafting patterns.

Which brings me to my latest idea.  Which isn't so very new as my mother very astutely pointed out to me.

There needs to be someone catering to the plus-sized women a lot more than they are being catered to now.  Oh!  Clothes.  I am talking about clothes here.  I don't really shop for clothes so much myself, I mostly make mine.  But the subject of lack of attractive plus-sized womens' clothing seems to keep coming up in CPaAGG.  I keep thinking, " I could so be fixing this!"  When I told my mom, she pointed out that she had told me 20 years ago that I could make a fortune doing this.  I pointed out that 20 years ago, not many had the intarwebz in their home and I would have had to find a rep, make a line, have the rep sell the line to stores, blahblahblah.  Now?  All I need is a computer and a printer.  I can sell directly to the ladies via the magic of the intarnetz!!  No middle man!  Wholesale prices directly to you!

This is still in the really, really super early planning stages, but for the love of pete, if you are reading this and have input/opinions, please share!!

Tags.  Tags would be the really big thing I can't figure out how to do with this new format.  Boo.  Oh hey!  Found it!  Go me.

Project Bags!

And oh, so very, very many of them!  Okay.  I  call them project bags because I am a knitter.  And that's what we do with them.  Stow one of our 50 bajilliondy projects in them.  But they are good for other stuff too.  Make-up, art supplies, organizing all the crap in your bag.  Whatever.   I have a few that I found flaws on after I got them sewed up, this happens sometimes when dealing with vintage goodies, and I keep thinking I will just list them as very price reduced seconds at some point.  But I keep grabbing them and using them for things.   I should probably stop this or I won't have any to sell.
