I am a Business!

I filed for my Employer Identification Number online today. It's the first step toward making official my yarn business.  I will be able to sell at farmers markets and buy supplies at wholesale prices like wool, wood and other consumable goods that go into making my products.  When I was selling photographs,  I could buy framing supplies, chemistry, printing papers, and film.  Now that I have the tax ID,  I can apply for city business licenses.

Hello World!

Hello, my name is Malinda Welte.  I have been blogging off and on for a fair amount of time (see the connected blogs or Google "SideShowMom").  I craft, create art, garden and take care of my teens and menagerie.

About a year ago I went to a renaissance fair with some friends and learned to spin yarn.  Now I spin way more yarn than I use knitting and crocheting.  This summer you can look for me at local Northland Farmer's Markets selling my yarn and spinning more or teaching someone else (you?) to spin.  You can also find stuff to buy in my Etsy store.

On this blog I'll share some of my fun with you!
