Lots of new things happening!

Well, lets start with art.

The new Tee design will be printed next week! I have a contract to sign and that'll be that for the Perimeter Institute Tee. I'm about half way through the new Tee design, this is to be held a secret until I'm fully finir!

Now let's move on to toys.

I've discovered some useful info from another artisan about legit tags for toys. I am to sign an application for registration as a home hobby/craft operator. This is a specific application in Ontario, anyone who makes/sells stuffed articles should register. It's 20 bucks a year, and that gives you the right (in my case) to create/sell 1-999 stuffed animals in one year. Should you create/sell more, you are to sign a manufacturer application which is a staggering 400 bucks a year! When I've registered I can finally get some contents tags done. I'll follow these guides and visit one of the specialized printers, luckily one of them happens to be down the road from my house!

Before all that happens...

I'd like to sign my name for a small business. I'd like to start doing things properly and I think that'll be a good way to start. It's 60 bucks last I saw (could be more by now), that's to register your legal name only. I'm currently reading the pdf about starting a sole proprietorship and what's involved. It won't be anything big to start but it should be interesting and fun making toys n' stuff all the time!

Hmm what else?

I went to Cuba in February, had a real fun time with a friend of mine and her dad, he goes down every month or so. We stayed in the city of Holguin, did what Cubans do. It was really different and enjoyable. I could really write a whole blog about this alone, so I think I'll do that next!

Here's a greek face for shits and giggles.
