My floor frame broke! More accurately a glued section came unglued. Hubby is reglueing it, but that means I have to wait 24 hours for it to dry. Bummer! So instead I’m working more on that business plan.
Today I’m taking the time to scout out the competition. I’m checking rug hooking blogs and websites online and deciding what I do and don’t like about them. Trying to find if there’s a niche that’s been overlooked.
I also decided to check out the ATHA magazine for advertising and see what I could find. Interesting. There are no Canadian rug hooking shops advertising in the ATHA magazine. Hmm…wonder where they advertise? Or if they need to? A question to ask vendors at the TIGHR conference this fall. Most curious…
I have Prairie Sunset all set to hem. Just haven’t got around to it. Lots happening here. Just heard that Hubby’s step-dad had a massive stroke and is not expected to live. He’s in palliative care. Yes, we did just go to the funeral for Hubby’s mother two weekends ago. We could be making another trip soon… 🙁
So sorry to hear that, Jean. What a tough winter you’re having. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
Thanks Laura. It has been a bit of a roller coaster. The lady who taught me to rug hook passed away one week before my mother-in-law! Her memorial service will not be till spring though. It’s to be in a special location that is frozen over till then.
So hard when illness and death come in bunches – you hardly have time to breathe. You and your hubby will be in my prayers tonight.
Thanks Deborah. I think the waiting part is hardest. You feel so bad for them and really don’t want them to suffer. Yet, if there’s any hope, you don’t want them to die. You want them helped. But the fact he’s in palliative care tells me there’s no hope… sigh…
