Progress

So the home party idea is progressing. I am not ready to book my first party yet, but I need to get with the program because; ready or not; on March 9 at my next purse show I am going to advertise to start booking parties. I have my note books bought to start designing my catalogs, I have looked at business cards, and bought 5 out of 10 of my stock fabrics. They are all the patterned designs; now I need lining and contrasting fabrics. I am thinking solid colors? I know I want a solid hot pink and maybe a red, and something to match a burnt orange. I have stocked up on magnets and purchased a cutting board. I still need order forms, catalog photos, current photos of my new designs, and I need to sew as if my business depends on it... and it does. I believe I am going to raffle off a purse at the next purse show to get names and addresses of prospective clients. I have 9 days to get the raffle together. A little longer to work on the rest of it since the first show would more than likely be at least a week (hope springs eternal) possibly two weeks after I actually book it. So say a prayer for me and give me any words of encouragement or advice that you deem appropriate because... here I go!
