Doubts

I hate it when I second-guess myself. Don't we all? As a parent, I've had more moments of self doubt than I've ever experienced in any other stage of my life. Well, Doubting-Tomas, that's what my mother-in-law calls it, has creeped its ugly head into my bibs. It seems, the more research I do, and the more bibs I find that are currently out on the market, I wonder if I should even bother. It's depressing and self sabotaging. But don't worry! I haven't given up. Just sidetracked. I've got to keep my focus and the only way I know how is by keeping my head down and continue making bibs.

Organic cotton terry cloth is available by the way...at a much higher price. Remember my disaster with microfiber suede? Well, I finally found microfiber terry cloth! At Costco, of all places. They only sell it as a package of towels in a dull yellow color and not on a roll of fabric but it'll do for now. And yes. I did test the absorbency ahead of time and it's fabulous. So here's what I'm thinking of as far as my product lineup: 2 sizes (S/M and L/XL), (standard) terry cloth bibs, organic terry cloth bibs, and microfiber terry cloth bibs, in an array of colors hopefully. Woah. Having this image of all these bibs on my future website just got me really excited!

This evening, while Tom was giving Sammie a bath upstairs, I used those few precious moments to cut out a few more bibs. This part takes the longest. I can't wait to contract this part out to a professional fabric cutter. Unfortunately, that was all that I was able to accomplish tonight. We've been holding on to a Netflix rental for days now and I do miss getting cozy on the couch with him and Monger (our doggie).
I still haven't gotten around to formally doing my business plan, by the way.

Keep it going. Even if there're other people doing it, it doesn't mean that there isn't room for one more if that's what you love to do.
