SAL Progress for the Week

I started on Alma Lynne’s Computer Wizard with Chiara and Zohrah on Wednesday night. I didn’t get a whole lot done due to the appearance of some serious frogs (more like brain fog). I started her hair, did half of the back of her chair and the seatcushion.





I also worked on Barnabee’s Quest again. I have to admit to cheating, though. After seeing the progress that Carol and Leslie made, I spent some time on this one on Saturday, in addition to Friday’s session. I then looked at Michelle’s and Andrea’s progress and they are going at a more leisurely pace, so I plan on slowing down some. Especially since Michelle and I will be moving on to SAL on Lady Scarlet’s Journey after we are done with Barnabee.





I also spent the weekend reworking my current store inventory and then importing it into my new accounting software package, Microsoft Office Accounting 2007. Yes, believe it or not, Microsoft had the winner. And that’s difficult for me to say, trust me, but they earned it. I’m now not only caught up to where I was in QuickBooks, but I’m completely caught up with purchase orders, item receipts and bills for all of the products that I currently have in stock.

I still have a big order coming from Dinky Dyes that should hopefully arrive this week, plus an order I mailed to The Gentle Art a week or two ago. I honestly have no idea when that one will come in. Regardless, it’s nearly time for take off and I think that I might be ready. Except for designing the graphics for the e-storefront. Whoops! I knew I was procrastinating about something. 😉

    Great progress on Barnabee, and when it comes to brain fog… I so know that thing. (If you only know how many times I had to frog that first branch in Loy…)

    Cheat,cheat, cheat!! Wonderful progress on Barnabee. I don’t think anyone can keep up with Carol, so I’m not even going to try. 🙂

    Looking forward to the opening. 🙂
