    It's so exciting, and I'm so glad you just kept at it and made it happen. So many people talk and talk about doing it, but you did it. I suspect you're going to absolutely love it.

    This is so exciting! Working for yourself is hard. But you get to pick which 80 hours you work. Lol! Hope you enjoy it, and wishing you great success. You're so talented and generous with your gifts - you're sure to do great.

    Wow. It's all here. The party. The "hi - I'm over here now". The "you folks are great, and I want to thank you". The plan.

    Happy day. Happy day.

    Congrats and confetti -- and cake, of course.

    Good for you; once you get off the boat, it's difficult to return. I've been out of a corporate job for more than twenty years and LOVE my life!

    Tara - I am so excited for you. I've said that about 100 times on Twitter, but I mean it. This past weekend, I spent a lot of time with my wool. I made batts, photographed them, set the twist on new year, photographed those. And you know, for the first time, I made enough money over the weekend that if I could do that full time, every couple of days, I could see myself doing this as my job instead of my current job. I'm no where near it, but it was exciting, fun, reassuring! I know you're going to be FAB as a a full time yarn wrangler and I can't wait to hear your story... starting with French Major :)

    Thank you so much Erin! I completely believe you could do it, if it's what you wanted (your day job sounds pretty cool to me!)
    Thanks for always encouraging me and being there through it all!

    Tara

    I love that you see this as a whole new beginning and that negative ideas such as "quitting" don't even appear in your vocabulary set! Woo hoo!!!
