Some random thoughts at the end of another year...

We're at the end of another year. I guess I'm at the point in my life where time starts to accelerate. The days and weeks and years just seem to fly by. I've accomplished a lot this year at Purple Fleece. I updated the website, installed an on-line shopping cart, starting dyeing yarn and roving for the consumption of others rather than just my own gluttony, started social networking, was a vendor at 12 festivals, taught classes at 4 of them, began a Yarn of the Month club and a Roving of the Month club, and ran my store and taught classes here. Whew, I'm tired just thinking about it. It feels incredibly satisfying too, however. I feel like I've reached a new level in my business.

I am so grateful to my loyal customers, old friends and new friends, and my family who have made suggestions, helped me at fairs when I couldn't be in two places at once, given me both positive and negative feedback, and have been a huge emotional support when I needed to blow off steam. You guys really rock...


I love what I do, appreciate all that I have, and want to wish everyone a wonderful holiday season and a healthy, prosperous, and content 2011.
