I am a fool for April 1st!

I am thrilled beyond measure that today is April 1st, today is my deadline for our new "Slam and Coast" business model.  Wha? What's slam and coast?  It's when you go into production overload and make a much darn product as possible, then you coast and focus on other things for a while.

I am so proud of my team they have really been kickin' it!  We have more stock than ever before. Today, I will spend one last day prepping a couple of stray projects for my stitcher to finish up at home and then I am mine again!  I know that sounds bad but I really miss my life.

The team and I have been cranking hard since the fall.  We went from Holiday, to Country Living Production, to our best winter EVER! In most indie craft business you get a winter slump, I tell you what I am truly and utterly blessed when I say we did not have such a winter, January and February were as crazy busy at November.  Then we started to Slam and Coast, let me mention that this isn't for whimps!

I think making 200 party banner in January 'upped the ante' for us here at Modern June. It changed my whole idea of stock could be. Making one or two of something, is no longer acceptable and making 12 of something looks, well, it looks like it will never be enough. I want more, more I tell you!

Come back tomorrow and I will tell you more about the coast part of the plan!

burning the candle at both ends...

Earth Hour didn't keep me from working on my oilcloth party banners!

I'm sorry that I have been AWOL, but I have been cranking out the merch. The Junies and I have been slamming out as much product as possible for our April 1st deadline, after which,  some of the gals will take a break and I will start working on my top secret project. Don't worry, we will still be making our custom order oilcloth tablecloths, placemats and floor mats.

As for what that top secret project is, I promise that I will be able to tell you all soon!!!  My people and their people are hammering out the dets now!  Let's just say it's amazingly awesome and the secret it KILLING ME!!!
