Happy New Year!

2013 is off to a great start for the Grinning Piglet!  In January I've completed a light blue baby afghan order for a friend and am currently working on an order for a pink bear as a baby gift.  I hope this momentum continues throughout the year.

Here are a few New Year's resolutions for the Grinning Piglet:

1.  Update the Etsy shop (www.etsy.com/shop/grinningpiglet)  I have a few fleece baby blankets to list as well as a chunky infinity cowl scarf.  Also need to work on the product photos across the board.

2.  Post weekly to this blog regarding current projects, upcoming events, etc.

3.  Review sales results from 2012 shows/events.  Heritage Day and stART on the Street were very successful.  Farmer's markets and small craft shows, not so much.

4.  Consider creating some patterns to sell in the Etsy shop and elsewhere.  Expand from just production to design, as well.

5.  Look into an online shop of my own, in addition to the Etsy shop.

6.  Evaluate which products are the best sellers and focus on those creations.

7.  Find new marketing opportunities and utilize them.

That should keep me busy and somewhat focused for a while!

Wishing everyone a healthy and Happy New Year from the Grinning Piglet

And here is the first of my weekly Missy photos for you.  She resolves to get more exercise this year (me too!)
