A Little About Me

My most defining feature is my family. My loving husband, Jay, is a High School math teach. My wonderfully energetic son, Jake, and daughter, Zoey, are starting preschool in September 2013. At the moment I am a homemaker/housewife who loves to knit. I began knitting on a daily basis in March 2013. Yes, not that long ago. My mother taught me years ago when I was in high school. I liked it but I did not have the patience and dedication that I have come to acquire since having children. 

I've worked with people for as long as I can remember from my latest job of Assistant Manager of a shoe store in SoHo, NYC to my first job as a cashier in a dollar store in the Staten Island mall at the age of 15. 

When my son was born my husband and I decided that instead of paying for daycare I would stay at home  until Jake was old enough to enter preschool. Not so long later we had my daughter and the choice of being a stay-at-home mom was even more logical. 

Now that both Jake and Zoey will be in school, it is time for me to find something that would be enjoyable and work around my kids schedule. It's time to open a yarn truck, :)

New Small Business

Hello!

Thanks for your support reading my blog! 

I was surfing the web a week ago and came across this http://yarnovertruck.com/ 
A truck full of yarn that comes to your neighborhood! 
This would be perfect! I would love to open a truck in Northern New Jersey.
 I don't have the funds yet. If you would like to contribute I have added a "donate" button to this blog. 

I would like to open it with in the next year. With every step I would post a new blog entry, and with pictures when available. The complete finished boutique would be posted  the day of the unveiling. 
It's not something that is popular here in NJ, not that I have seen so far. 
As with every business there are pros and cons. One of the cons for Northern NJ is winters are cold, and sometimes very snowy. One of the pros would be having the yarn boutique come to you for a party or get-together.

I am new to the yarn scene but I know that I would love to be in that truck meeting great people! The thought of driving around in the van and stopping in different towns is exciting. Going to yarn crawls, oh man that would be fun. And seeing all the creativity being produced right in front of me while we sit around outside the truck. I also have great support from family and friends.   

If you have any comments I would love to read from you.

I have a long way to go. I hope you will join me on this adventure and read about the progress being made.
