hello hello!! it's so great to see new people following the KT blog since my last entry. I admit it's been too long since that last post, but it's because I've been blessed and busy with KT business. I told hubby last week that I'm about as busy as I have time to be, and that makes me so happy. A few updates:
Kayt Taylor is/has:
...focusing on Eco-Friendly items... packaging, labels, materials
...hosting their FIRST exclusive show on November 12 & 13...
RSVP HERE!
...now offering 4 different headband styles, and 2 different hat styles
...is in the process of creating an original eco-friendly bow/headband holder
...has reached 100 etsy sales
...has opened a KT business phone line
...upgraded the business cards
...purchased sew-in labels for the 2010-2011 seasonal scarves
...continuing to be profitable each month
That last one probably means way more to me than to anyone else, but here's why. In recent months I've transitioned towards quality materials-- name brand fabrics, earth friendly materials, and just MORE supplies so that I can offer my customers MORE. I was a little nervous about some of this, but KT customers have continued to show their support and I am happy with the decisions I've made.
When I'm
not working on Kayt Taylor business, here's what's going on in life:
...I'm still watching the 4 cutest munchkins... They've each celebrated a birthday in the last 3 months (Brycen turned 7, Prestyn turned 5, and last week the twins (Kelyn/Kennedy) turned 2!!)
...Attended our church's Middle School Retreat this past weekend. We took 25 teens to camp and spent the weekend eating junk food, playing dodge ball, singing, dancing, and discussing their faith.
...I'll be headed off for my 2nd half-marathon this weekend! Ahhh!
...Continuing to coach my Girls On The Run 3-5th grade team 2x's a week. We're in week 7 of 10 and the girls will now focus on organizing their own community project. We'll end the season later this month with a GIANT 5K downtown. There will be almost 700 girls and a total of more than 1250 participating. I also blog weekly as a guest blogger for our local paper in their online running section. I talk about my own running along with the GOTR season.
...And, co-facilitating a girls group at a local middle school to discuss and learn about relational aggression and the different types of bullying. Each week I meet with eleven 6th grade girls and we talk about life as a "middle-schooler" in today's world and the negative effects bullying has on each of us as the bully, victim, or bystander.
how many goodies can i make with all this new fabric?? fashion is so much fun.
this is the best way i could think to celebrate the beginning of football season around here! 3", 4" and even 6" bows available on clips or headbands. fashion totally makes football even better.
During my weekend trip to Columbia, Tennessee this weekend to visit some family I came across a great handmade artist, Frolicking Leaves. She happens to create adorable, high quality, crochet hats-- exactly what i've been looking for! I'm pleased to share that we're currently working on my order details so that I can offer these hats to go along with your favorite SNAPS bows during those chilly months! The best part is... she's located in Minnesota! How funny that I found her an a sweet boutique/coffee shop in the southern country.
***11/1/2010 I've closed this profile to abide by Facebook Rules&Regulations. thanks!
these {big bows} will be available for purchase just as soon as hubby and i get back from enjoying a long weekend trip away from all of our grown-up responsibilities. They were created with divas of ALL ages in mind... so go ahead, pick out one for all the lovely girls you know. Wouldn't they make this year's school picture absolutely precious? I think so. :)
the first round of sports bows are ready for you... for direct purchase through Kayt Taylor's FB Page... more styles coming soon along with Cincinnati Bearcat Bows & hopefully OSU Bows soon after. bring on football season!!
i need everyone who walks by my booth at upcoming events to know what KT is all about... so i created and ordered this extra cute banner. i happen to love it. :)
can't wait to start offering these precious bows! ...just getting started on this line today, super excited!!
a family member asked if I could crate a special something for her friend's daughter... after a little chit chat, I began to create. This spring jacket is available now at Target for $7. (*note: it is currently listed as 'out of stock', but I saw plenty in my local Target when there 2 days ago.)
only a small peak at the upcoming spring deliciousness at Kayt Taylor. Look for these super cute, light-weight, cotton fabrics to be available as Spring Scarves within the next couple weeks.
Our first teammate approaching the finish line with her dad, she finished 2nd out of all the girls!
...I'm a proud coach :) Great finish, girls!!
this 'turtle love' scarf was available in my shop and has been snatched for a little cutie in honor of her fascination with turtles... she even has her own pet turtle. The headband was a custom creation made to match the scarf... just in time for Valentine's Day. xo
