Fresco

Introducing 'Fresco'

So long story short. instead of complaining about my job that I do like but not all the time and is not where my passion is, my friend jen and I have decided to do something about it. Although starting a business in the economy as it is today may not be the brightest thing it does give me a sense of accomplishment and creativity. we may not be a whole lot right now but i really think that we have the potential to be and with our wonderful husbands behind us and spurring us on (they want us to make all the money so they can play video games) we are excited to announce we are officially in business.

thanks to the pi phi house for having us at their mom's day event we were able to get our feet wet in the market of stillwater. with the encouragement of the products bought and the compliments from the crowd we have decided to press on. our website will be up and running in the next couple weeks which will allow you to purchase them online!  for now we are going to be looking at craft shows and other various vendors. here are some pics from our little set up! i would also like to thank my boss who provided all the awesome vintage props from her store so that we could have a good table!

what's in a name?

so we have finally decided on a name for our lovely little apron business. that will eventually expand to all kitchen linens. the name will be revealed later this week as we get closer to our first event of selling our home made goodies. i think we will also start a blog just for our company that will also be revealed soon.

Catching up to do

i haven't been on in a long time, but i think that will be changing. lots have things have been going on in our lives since august. but we dont need to catch up on those. we'll just start with today.

Its snowing! its march, the end of march. but its ok, its nice to have a snow day with not a lot to do today. jen and i will be working on aprons this afternoon and i hope to post some of the aprons to get some opinions. next saturday we are going to be able to sell our aprons and oven mitts at an event called 'moms day', for the greek community. so we'll see how that goes and see if we can continue on a venture of sewing. 

Pure Frustration!

So I didnt get the job in the marketing dept at osu. we found that out tuesday. Then one of erics family friends found a freelance job for me. which is fantastic and i get to charge a real hourly rate.  well i got a call today and they have to put the project on hold because the accountant found someone that might be able to do it cheaper. The guy that im working with is on my side and wants me to do the work, so i am hoping that he can convince the accountant to let me do it. so once again i am a continuing learner of patience and knowing/hoping that God will provide for us. and i miss my friends.

school started!

eric finally started graduate school today! we learned on friday that he has an research assistantship which gets him in state tuition, a small salary and 3 hours paid for. we are pretty excited about this. however were still waiting to see on a job for me. I have applied at several other companies now. 

pray for our sanity as i look for a job and we find friends and a church home. thanks

seeger oklahom update #1

So for now until we can call everyone here is an update on us.

Saturday - loaded the truck. thanks for everyone who stopped by to say goodbye, we will see you soon. Special thanks to dave and dare for staying with us the whole day helping us load and clean and eat an awesome dinner! love ya! 

Sunday - finally arrived at mom and dad seegers at midnight. it was a supper long drive with the truck since it only got 9-10 miles per gallon so we had to stop every few hours. when we finally got in i had to finish preparing my portfolio for my interview the next day at 930 in stillwater.

Monday - woke up early and headed to stillwater, an hour drive, for my interview. the interview went well. i thought i was only meeting with two people turned out it was with 10! a little nerve recking. eric and my parents waited till i was done then we showed them around stillwater and ate at eskimo joes, great place well take you there whenever you come and visit. got to go to our apartment and get our apartment. drove back to okc since thats were our truck was and we thought we wouldnt be able to get our apartment till tues. got back and 

got a call from OSU for a second interview with the director and assistant director for 230pm

Tuesday - finally got to sleep in. our moving in day consisted of 104 degree weather with all sun and no breeze, sonic cherry limeades, and my second interview. we got everything in from the truck by 2. i think my second interview went well but i will not know for up to 10 days. so please be praying for us financially and just in general that we find out soon. 

we then went to hideaways pizza. another place we will take you if you come to visit. 

That was a brief summary of the past couple days. feel free to call us we will gladly take a break from unpacking since we are trying to get everything settled before school starts. 

we would like to thank our parents for being totally awesome there is no way we could have made this move without them. 

thats all for now i am weary, and finally rested. have a great night!
