Named

...not maimed, named.  After throwing a few name ideas around, I finally came up with a name for a label/tag and maybe future business.   I am excited about it!  Drum roll, please.....



A. Oh Caye


I am currently working on the label design with a talented friend and then I will send it in to get woven.  This reality is making me a little hesitant.  I am mixed with excitement and nervousness.  I did register on Etsy.  As far as the shop opening...that might take a little bit longer.  I am coming up with inventory ideas and will start sewing soon.  I have Halloween costumes, baby dresses and Christmas projects running for my family and gifts.  I might be able to work on a few things here and there.  I am starting small.  I also have some old patterns I will be posting to start some revenue.  I will need that to purchase the tags.  So no labels on the first few items. 
I am just sooo excited about a name.  It had me stumped for quite some time.  I loved other crafter's catchy names and wanted something catchy, but with a bit of me.  I decided to go with my name and get clever.  David and I threw names back and forth.  Think like A. Caye G, A. Caye Eh (a.k.a.) ...I didn't want to sound like an armed weapon or a pirate or Canadian (nothing against Canadians, but it isn't fitting to my Texan roots).  Then, A. Oh Caye...popped!  My first initial and middle name with an "Oh" stashed in the middle.  I won't go on how I feel it fits or how "Oh" is expressed.  It makes me smile and fits my work.  At least that is what I think.  I will post when I have something to share on Etsy.  For now, I have a docket of projects waiting for me.  Thanks for all your support and confidence in me.  You all motivate and inspire me!
