Céad míle fáilte romhat! Hello, My name is Jenny Beth. I am a Leprechaun of sorts living here in northern Indiana. I went to Purdue for a few years before I realized I didn't really know why. I am currently researching and hoping to start a little at home business. I'm sure you will hear all about it if you stay tuned. Aside from all that I'm not sure what else to tell. I will keep you posted though.

Little Engines and Climbing Mountains

I did it! 100 hours+ later I finished my very first item for The Lucky Duck. Its a beautiful banket that my boss requested to give as a gift. It is a very warm yellow with a cream ruffle trim. It is so very soft and I was so pleased with how the ruffles fell. I tied it with a chocolate brown satin ribbon, gift ready. I promise to try and have pictures soon.
I am also very excited that my little logo is in its final stages and my business cards are all designed and ready to be finished. I also have designed matching postcards for my thank you notes. Its coming together. Little by little.
However, in all my excitement and hope- I can't help but be a little scared for my Duckling. Its rough out there. You can't miss it if you are anywhere near a TV, or computer, or paper. . . Its everywhere. Crashing economy and people sitting tight with everything they have. I know I do. This is a very difficult time to be pushing my little dream through. My head is filled with so many "what ifs". I can plan and read and prepare. . . but-
I just don't want to see this fail. I find myself trying to be very much like the little storybook engine- I think I can I think i can I think I can. . . We just have to get over the mountain.
