So here goes nothing...

After seeing so many of my friends blogs, I have decided to give it a try myself.  I used to be good at journaling and whatnot in high school and college, and since then my consistency has gone decidedly downhill.  I am hoping the technology of being online will help me in this endeavor.

Today is day 3 of a pretty major snowstorm here in Cincinnati, and we were all getting a little stir crazy from being stuck inside for several days, so we ventured to the grocery store.  Claire did her usual squirming, crying, trying to grab everything she can in the cart & fling it routine, which I do not remember Kate doing at all.  Kate did pretty well, and got to listen to several Hallmark cards with sound, which is one of her rewards for behaving at the grocery store!  Silly, but she loves it.

There is no preschool for Kate again today, which makes the day challenging for me, in that I have several orders for The Daisy Chain that I need to be working on this afternoon, and my mom was going to watch Claire this afternoon while Kate was at preschool, but no such luck now.  I'm excited that I had another order off the website yesterday from someone I don't know, and as a bonus it was a nursing cover I already have made left from one of the craft shows this fall.  I'm trying to get as many orders sold and shipped as I can before the CPSIA law goes into effect on the 10th of next month and I may have to take down the website (I can't afford to comply with the ridiculous lead-testing requirements it has) and only sell to friends & family.  I really hope they get it straightened out, sooner vs. later.
