Getting back into creative mode - Walmart rant, again

Got to get back into the creative mode.  Have been spending a great deal of time lately doing yardwork and getting my garden together.  Still some things I need to get done outside, but have to get re-motivated to work on product.

Since I quit SVP Worldwide Embroidery Software Support team, I have been trying to keep connected with the 5D Embroidery Yahoo group and answer questions.  I would like to be an independent educator on their software products along with being certified with several other product lines.  Haven't had a chance to look much at the group questions for the past couple of days but have found that a large quantity of questions are coming from Great Britain and Europe where software support is lacking, unlike here in the US and Canada.

My niece's baby shower is today and I am missing it partly because I haven't had time to get her present made!  Will be working on a fleece baby bunting set which will also be available on my website at www.misskatescreations.com.  Have some adorable ideas for toddler clothing.  Haven't sewn toddler clothes for years because of my inability to compete with the cheap toddler clothes coming out of China and other areas of the far east these days.  By cheap, I don't only mean inexpensive, but lacking quality also.  One children's manufacturer (Garanimals) has sold their soul to Walmart.  Their clothing used to be sold only in higher end boutiques.  Now they only sell to Walmart and do not wholesale to any other businesses.  I had inquired directly with Garanimals to purchase wholesale and was told they no longer wholesale to anyone else.   I used to consider their clothing line of great quality up there with Fisher-Price who is known for their great line of toddler toys.  Not any longer.  I predict Walmart will decide to choose another line of toddler clothing besides their own Faded Glory clothing line and Garanimals will be out in the cold.  I have seen Walmart do this to countless brands and then this destroys the brand because they put all of their eggs in one basket.  Wake up American brands!
