Marathon Running
    
     Ok.  The first person who asks if my fat a$$ is actually running marathon
      gets whacked in the head with a drop spindle.  No, the point is that I've been trying a) to 
      work harder in 2007, and more importantly b) to work smarter.  I'm actually getting much
      more accomplished, but I have not, yet, actually chosen to spend less time doing
      work.
    
     So, here's what I've accomplished this week at 
ThreadBear:
      
       - reinstituted Up Close area where I put together colorways for popular 
        projects (some may remember that I used to do a lot of custom colorways,
        but the demand just got to be way more than I was able to handle on top of my other
        responsibilities; Up Close gave me the opportunity to play with color and
        get other work done),
 
       - posted the Colinette Jitterbug page,
 
       - posted the Vermont Organic Fiber Co. O-Wool page,
 
       - got more of the Class Schedule posted... yes, that means there's still more to come,
 
       - purchased a new large table, two new small tables, and a new shelf for the Schaefer Yarns
        Open House this weekend,
 
       - rearranged the Handpaints Island (also for the Open House),
 
       - updated the New Yarns & Things and Spotlight on Classes listings on the 
        front page, and
 
       - ran out at the last minute this morning to pick up some gorgeous glassware from Pier 1 at 
        50% off to display the new drop spindles that we just got in from 
        Grafton Fibers.
 
      
      
    
     Oh, and this afternoon, I posted here.  So there.  ;-)
