It is almost 2013. Have you made any resolutions for the
upcoming year?
2013 should see Cajun Stitchery’s workshop move
into the house next door. Finally, we
will be able to spread out and have room for all of these machines, fabric,
thread, etc. Oh, that will be so
nice.
Hopefully the Etsy Store will take off in
2013. Although the Etsy Store has been
in existence since 2009, it has never really taken off. It has more and more sales each year, but
still not the quantity that it should.
There is potential in that store.
The owners just need to learn how to work it.
The first in-the-hoop purse that we made and
listed on Etsy has been purchased. Let’s
see how long it takes for the next one to sell.
You never know if it was the purse or the embroidery that sold.
Also on March 5, 2013, Cajun Stitchery will
celebrate its 4th anniversary.
George will begin working, hopefully, full time
at Cajun Stitchery in 2013. He will be
doing the embroidery for logos, tee shirts, ball caps, etc. We have to keep George busy, so place your
orders for your teams, organizations, groups, etc.
On a sad note, George’s mother passed away last
night. She was 88 years old. It
wasn’t really unexpected, but you never are ready, either. She and dad had been married for 68
years. She was a wonderful woman and
loved crafting. She embroidered, made
jewelry, and just about any craft you can conceive, she did it. She was a navy veteran of WWII. Her occupation was a medical claims adjuster
for CNA Insurance Company. She raised
three wonderful children. She will be
missed.

Happy New Year

Found the following at http://www.interestingfacts.org/fact/cliche-facts
Cliché is something that has been repeatedly used
to the point of losing original meaning. The word "cliché" comes from
the days of moveable type, where each letter had to be set by hand into a
framework before printing. Commonly-used phrases were kept, pre-set in clamps
so they could be regularly used without having to reset all the letters
individually each time. The clamp that keeps letters together to form these
oft-used sentences or phrases is called a cliché. Some of the popular cliché’s
include:
Good things come to those who wait.
Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love with girl. Boy loses girl. Boy gets girl back. The End.
A penny saved is a penny earned.
There's plenty more fish in the sea.
You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
