Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving! Here's to giving thanks for all the wonderful people in my life. I am so thankful that each and everyone of you are with me (even if we cannot be together today you are still with me in my heart). Remember to give thanks for all the wonderful people in your life too. Enjoy the weekend.

Meet the Staff
Here at The Sewing Ninja we have a motley crew that puts together the items you see here. Today, I'd like to introduce you to our staff.
Business Manager - Miss Rei has been with our family since 2000 in various roles. She is currently serving as our business manager. She ensures that payments are received on time and heads are petted when they need to be petted. However, she tends to be a bit aloof in her duties and is often absent which forces us to use a temporary until she decides to return.
Temporary Business Manager - Na-na is our temporary fill in when Miss Rei goes on a leave of absence. I mean, hey, who else is going to make sure that chair has someone to sit in it?
My Assistant - The Little Sewing Ninja - My daughter is currently the best assistant I've had. She is a real go getter. She takes care of the minor details like threading the machine, winding bobbin and taking stock of the materials and accessories we have on hand. Any item I need she is there to help me find it. She even removes the scrap during projects to make sure they don't accidentally get wrapped into the current project. The only thing she can't do is operate the iron (because hey, I don't want her to burn herself - ouchy).
Fashion/Color Consultant - The Mr. Sewing Ninja - My husband has been given the dubious task of helping determine coordinating colors for projects and proper coordinating accessories. I am lacking in my ability to appropriately match items or sometimes see that something else is needed. This is where he steps in with product advice and constructive criticism. In all the years we have been together, he has always been honest about my choices even in cases where it may not have been the opinion I wanted to hear.
Owner/Operator/Head Seamstress - Me, The Sewing Ninja - I am the one tasked with purchasing all materials and accessories. I also determine the projects that will be made (with input from My Assistant and the Consultant) as well as responsible for posting the information here on this site. I am also the one responsible for the maintenance of the equipment. I guess you could say I keep everything going.
So there you have it. Our "staff".
