Prairie Path in the New Year

January is almost half over.  Clara and Damian have started back to school.  My head has been swimming with ideas for new products.

My newest addition to the critter family is this little guy.  His name is Octavian.  I was thinking of naming him Ollie, but many others have used that name in association with an octopus.

Also, I have been using my serger to create scarves and arm warmers and baby blankets, amongst other things.

These pink arm warmers were posted here today!

There are many ideas I have yet to try.  I have realized that the scarf and mitten season is rapidly coming to an end as people are turning their heads  toward spring.  So I've decided to make a few Valentine's items to help create interest.  Otherwise I will work all January-August for the rush of Christmas holiday shopping that begins in September.  I would like to take part in a craft fair/show sometime this year, but that is yet to be determined.  Damian's schedule is only getting more hectic, so that may decide for me whether it is possible.  Thanks, again, to all of you who regularly follow Prairie Path!  It gives me confidence and motivation.
