I knew I could depend on all of you to offer us your advice, suggestions, and encouragement on our new endeavor! Thanks so very much, we took all of it in and are working it out. The logo is going through round 2 right now, and Jamie (friend/business partner Jamie, not hubby Jamie!) and I had our first business meeting this week where we changed the name to Two Birdies Workshop. Jamie suggested it, and I love it! We couldn’t just use Two Birdies since twobirdies.com is already taken, so that is why I was trying to add something to it. Two Birdies Design seemed too limiting. And I wasn’t completely sold on Two Birdies Creations, but when Jamie said ‘Workshop‘ I knew that was it. It is versatile, we can pull it off and use it for many projects.
And we decided that we are going to see what we can get made in time for the Holiday Boutique at Ad’s school – which is December 4th. So, we have one month to get it all together. And then we’ll see what we can put up in Etsy and maybe shop it around to some little boutiques.
We have also created our “menu.” We aer going to make aprons, pillowcase dresses, reusable tote bags, and bags for kids, stationery and SuperCapes.
Lounge pants we decided are hard to “size” and also take a lot of fabric, so the profit margin is kinda high on those. And the birthday banners, are pretty time consuming as well. I may make some for our Etsy store at a later date, but we are not going to make any for the first round here.
I’ll tell you what else I will not be making. Any of these &$#*! Japanese felt animals. The only reason I finally finished these was they were taking up my endtable in the living room and I was sick of looking at them. That and the girls kept asking “when will the deer be done, Mama?”
So they are gladly done, and we are moving on. Bigger and better things!
