What's in a name?

Even though I have nowhere near enough stuff made (jewelry, knitted things, etc.) to start up a store on Etsy, I thought it would be useful to start brainstorming for a great store name. Unfortunately, when it comes to thinking up stuff like that, I am useless. Powerless. My creativity in this department generates things like, "Stephanie's Designs", etc. So bad.

What to do? Well hello there, husband extraordinaire! Super-duper name-thinker-upper. I put Neil on the trail of a great name and lo and behold, not more than 24 hours after being put to the task, he came up with the perfect name!! The name of my store (if it ever comes to fruition) will be "Stitch n' Solder" or "Stitches and Solder" or "Stitch and Solder". Okay, so I don't have it completely figured out yet. Which one do you all like best? Whatever incarnation I decide to use, though, it's perfect, because it captures everything - any kind of knitting I decide to put up, and the jewelry as well (soldering is how you get pieces of metal to stick together, just in case you're not sure what that's all about). Previously, I thought I would have to have two separate stores, because the items for sale would be so different, but with a name that encompasses everything, why bother?

Thanks sweetie - I owe you big time for that one!! Chili/pizza/tacos/hamburgers on the menu all week? Will that serve as payment?

I have completed two doggy sweaters, one girl, one boy and need to build a light box so that I can take good pictures of them. Then I will show them to you. I'm pausing in my sweater knitting for a week, though, to make myself a hat because, Lord, it has been raining like crazy here this year and I am so tired of wet hair.
