First of all... Happy Birthday, Nathan!! (my youngest is 21 today!!)
The "state of the shop" is that the slatwall was delivered this week... last time I was over there, they were putting up the grid to get the lights back in... which means that flooring isn't far behind!
Then the real work begins for us! The fabric fixtures are due in early December and that will allow me to get all this fabric out of my dining room!! And the bulk of the fabric shipments will arrive in December -- so that will be exciting... touching all that fabric -- such an obsession, eh?
Then the Horn of America cabinets and chairs will arrive and the Bernina machines will arrive -- and David (and others) can begin the process of sewing them in and completing the Mastery Books for them. Rebecca has been putting together books for me so that we're ready to go with that.
I have a telephone conference appointment on Monday to get the POS system set up on the computer and then I'll start getting labels on the inventory that's already here at the house. Getting the inventory on the list is a huge job at this point, but I'm glad we're starting at the beginning! I can't imagine doing that when the shop is already open and you're trying to keep up with inventory manually!
MediaWorks in Bloomington is working on our logo and website -- and I'm really excited about the direction they're going with that!! I'm hoping that the website will be ready early in December... Once the logo is ready, I'll get with the the sign shop...
Chris and I went to Madison WI for a sales training early this week... a day with Kaysie Oldani, the national sales trainer for Bernina USA, is a terrific experience! And I think that Chris is now ready to help us sell machines!!
So... you can see that we've been pretty busy here!! And... it's getting COLD!! :(
