Adding on to the resume
I have a lot of jobs: Wife, mother, cook, driver, sock finder, cat litter cleaner upper…You know them all, I am sure, because you have your own countless, often thankless, jobs.
In the last few days, I have added a couple of more: Seamstress and Viral Marketer. (I am a bit of a masochist.)
First, the sewing. There’s a shiny new Singer, a cheap one, in my office and it was purchased for the sole purpose of sewing in the care labels on each of our tees and onesies. I usually outsource this, but it causes me great consternation and constipation. It isn’t cheap and it is very easy, so I finally am doing it myself.
Add one more job to the hen’s chore list. Before yesterday, I had used a sewing machine just once. So far, I’ve only had to rip out one horrifically sewn label. Vamos a ver how this all goes. You may find the machine on eBay soon.
And about the viral marketing. My best friend, a smart former reporter herself, insists I need to add some schtick to YouTube to get the word out on the business. All the cool kids are doing it. Look here and here if you want to see.
So, the above video is a 20-minute effort and the slow beginning of more videos to come.
Soon.
I will attempt not to bore the hell out of you.
Of course, after I stop ripping out seams.
how could anyone be bored watching those gorgeous babes! :wink (a bit partial?)
Aiii, que cute! I want to have a baby just so I can make them wear the “merenguito” bib. ;)
Adorable kids. Beautiful designs. Pero necesito MUSICA. Perhaps the Pio pio song? I have connections…
definitely needs music, but my program kept crashing. good thing because i would have been violating copyright. so, i got the kid to sing Los Pollitos and she offered me about 700 versions. Will upload and fix when I can. And, oh yes…the merenguito. It’s delish…and that those beautiful babies? Look like someone on here, don’t they?
Hey mama hen, I’m just catching up on the blog. I love the video!
Here’s a tip on sewing the labels – don’t cut the thread between each one. Just line up a new label and tee after the last one and keep going. Then sit down in front of the TV and do all your cutting/trimming.
Good luck!
