April Fools on Me

I had my Grand Opening on April 1st, which turned out to be the beginning of a wild and wacky week. The launch of the site and business went really well. Several mamas from DS started some buzz for me and I've gotten at least one order a day, including several customs and a lot of 6 packs. I'm swamped!

But, then there is the rest of the week....Magnus got sick with the croup and was sick for 5 days. He's the kind of kid that clings to me non-stop when he isn't well. Needless to say, every day was all about him. Then, my hard drive failed. I back up regularly, but hadn't backed up in about a month so I lost all of our Disney pictures, pictures of Magnus' first steps, not to mention ALL of my business files. I can't imagine the hours and days of work it is going to take me to replace it all. And of course I can't replace the pictures. I'd happily redo all of it to get those back. Heavy, heavy sigh.

So, I'm focusing on the positive. I have been dying tons of fabric and will be sewing up several dozen dipes this week for a Friday stocking. I'm hoping to get my dyed 6-packs stocked by the end of the weekend at the latest. And, I'm anxiously awaiting the delivery of a ton of fabric. Woo-hoo! I can't wait to get sewing on some fleece and velour. I've been out of velour for too long.
