Just starting up!

(Hello, it's Brenna here, I called dibs on first post.) It is day one of our project! The plan is to make an etsy store front for Rose and in the process let me explore all kinds of art and crafts, but with business in mind. Learning what is time and cost effective, and learning what will sell, is key. Market research will need to happen, and finding a niche for our store to fill will be a goal to keep in mind for the future...

 For now, we decided on a name for the store, "Beware the Cuteness". Then I spent a million hours setting up a blog on squarespace, only to find after I finished that you have to pay after 14 days! Stupid hidden fees... I rage quitted my blog project for an hour, to make coffee and food, and then I made this blog on good 'ol blogspot. But I wasted SO MUCH TIME on squarespace! ARGH!

So why are we doing this blog? Well, mostly because I go to Inglenook, which is a small alternative high school. It has this program every Wednesday called Outreach, where you go out into the community and do community service, personal enrichment, or career exploration. Mine is a mix of personal enrichment and career exploration, since I will be learning all sorts of art stuff which is personal enrichment and I will also be helping make a business in crafts, which I would like to make a career out of. My goal in life is to make a living from making crafts, which in my specific case would revolve around knitting and/or spinning yarn. Aaaanyway... this blog is to ensure that I am on task in my outreach, so my teachers can supervise me a little more since I have a special circumstance with my sister being a supervisor.
