Not an inventory of merchandise or supplies or anything tangible. I'm trying to take an inventory of my business options. And it's all wide open. I can continue in the direction I've started (and which has been a lot of work, but successful). But a lot of the work is tedious and I would really like to have an assistant to take on the tedious, less than artful, tasks. And in addition to my online presence, I would love, Love, LOVE! to have a brick & mortar store. And then there are all my other interests. I just want to do it all!
Now to find a way to successfully combine my love of fiber (dyeing, knitting, spinning), my love of papercrafts (stamping, scrapping, bookmaking), my love of sewing (quilting, fashion), my love of photography (portrait, landscape, stock), my love of vintage (particularly vintage Pyrex), and bath & spa products (hand made soap, candles, etc.) Oh, and throw in the occasional jewelry making and whatever else strikes my fancy at the time.
Can you picture a shop that would include all, or maybe just most, of these interests? Would you shop at my store? Would I be trying to do too much?
I need to get my thoughts written down. And organized. Any suggestions for organization tools to make sense of this stuff?
Comments are most welcome. Please share a link to my blog so your friends can give me some input, too.

Day 14 & Working
Yep, things have been crazy lately. Work has been great. I was afraid my hours for the months of January and February would be cut back drastically and the pay check I was quickly becoming accustomed to would fizzle to next to nothing. But hours are being added. A couple of people are out of the catalog dept. for a couple of weeks, so I'm getting some extra shifts. And someone is out this week in the children's dept., so I'm getting some extra shifts there. So it's all going to be good. Actually, as much as I'm enjoying working, I'm starting to look forward to a couple of days off.
When I do get those days off, I'll get back to my dyeing. I have been doing some dyeing along that I haven't documented, so I'm up to about Day 14 of my 300 Days of Dyeing. When I do get a few days off, I'll spend some time photographing the results of my work.
I have also ordered some 50/50 Merino/Silk top that should be here next week. I can't wait to start dyeing it. I also want to work on my formula for 'Honeysuckle', the 2011 Color of the Year. I'm still not sure how I feel about it, but I think it's growing on me.
