So after my little whine fest yesterday, I got some more feedback from my first napkin customers. Seems they would prefer sewn edges, just like Ellen suggested, to prevent fraying. My mother-in-law graciously agreed to help me with this, so last night the boys and I went on a hunt for a sewing machine at some thrift stores around town while Shawn Well we didn't have a lot of luck finding sewing machines - though I did find what I think will be a good one, my MIL wants to go look today and see what she sees also, we did score on some other goodies.
Shawn and I have been discussing lately our need of a second computer. You see, he's taking two classes right now and has to spend a LOT of time online and on the computer doing homework, writing programs and posting to the online message boards, which is the "class participation" part of his class. Unfortunately, the majority of my advertising is online. His class trumps my business, so it's hard for me to get online to do what I need to do to get m
y company out there. We've been drooling over Apple notebooks for awhile and thinking that might be our next purchase... But when I happened across this iMac at the thrift store last night for $24.99, I thought that might be a good option... Even if we have to replace the OS, which it looks like we do as the programs have all been removed and the OS9 is a little outdated, we invest $75 in a computer rather than $1000+ for a new notebook. Hooray! And isn't it cute?? I wanted one of these when they first came out. And it works!
Tyler and Gavin found goodies too, of course, seeing as how they are my spawn. *ahem* Tyler found some great new Spiderman sandals...
My little thrift store kings are so cute though... We were talking about what a score we found as we were headed to our 2nd thrift store last night and Tyler said "yeah, I hit the jackpot!". All that excitement for $5 shoes. :)

Hi! Thank you for stopping by my blog. I enjoy 'meeting' other mom's online. You have 2 handsome boys there! I enjoyed your blog and am looking forward to taking a look at your home business site :)
Geez...I wish you would stop copying me. First you get a mac just like me and then a sewing machine like me. I guess it will be OK since I know I am just too cool that you can't resist. LOL! You also better know that I am totally teasing! I am actually very excited you are getting a sewing machine. I will have to email you pics of some of the progress on the bags I have made.
and by the way, I forgot to mention how cute Gavin is in his cowboy boots. My brothers used to always wear cowboy boots no matter what time of year it was.
Oh, those boots are too much!
Adorable!
