Let Me Introduce Myself...

Seems like everyone has a blog these days... even my husband has a blog! <---- (I set it up for him myself so he would stop offending people on facebook with his political opinions). So I figured it was high time to start blogging myself! I actually set up this blog a few months ago but I could find a background that I was happy with (shallow, right?). I'm still not thrilled with the current background, ps, but oh well...

Allow me to introduce myself.... 

I am...

a wife

a mother

a teacher

an artist

a child of God

a daughter

a sister

a friend

a dreamer

and one of the co-founders of Sweet P's... which is the purpose of this blog :)

Sweet P's was an idea hatched by my mom, my sister, and myself. In 2007, my mom begged my dad for an embroidery machine. My dad eventually gave in and Sweet P's was born. We started out with custom embroidery burp cloths, bibs, and receiving blankets. In 2009, I had a beautiful baby girl and decided I just couldn't leave her for 50-60 hours a week to teach. I started expanding Sweet P's with a line of crocheted items, hoping I could get enough business to not have to go back to teaching. Unfortunately, I did not get enough business but I did, however, find something I absolutely LOVE to do! I've designed quite a few lines since last fall and Sweet P's has gone from a business offering three embroidered items to a company with actual lines with over a hundred and fifty original designs and custom items! 

I realized recently that while I love the designing and creating portion of running a business there is more that I have to do. There are so many roles to play and I have to say, PR has not been my strong point... hence the blog... :) But I am determined to do better! For me (because I love what I do!), for my husband (because I don't want all of the financial burden to be on him), and of course for my daughter (because I want her to grow up with her mommy at home).  

My goal is to write at least three entries a week *crossing fingers*. Pictures will be posted of course! :) You can check out some of our things on our facebook fan page. Not all of our items are on our fan page as I am currently working on organizing. I have the spreadsheet finished, catalogue 3/4 of the way done, so the fan page is next on the list!
