Here's the deal. The number of people with disabilities is not small. You may think you’re just revamping your website for a few people who can't see or can't hear. Friends, around 15% of the world's population (roughly 1 billion people) are disabled. That is the world's largest minority, when you take the time to make your site ADA Compliant you're on the path to creating a welcoming considerate site for more than just people with disabilities though - you are making a website that's easier for EVERYONE to use. You included. Because we all end up in spots when we're not capable of using a website like we usually would.

Compliance management has become crucial to any organization's operations in today's business landscape. Compliance refers to adhering to the laws, regulations, and industry standards relevant to the business.
You have a passion for sewing and love to create super cute outfits for your kids. You are good at it! Then your friends begin requesting that you sew for their kids too, and your family suggests that you could open a boutique and start selling. It's so exciting! Does this sound familiar at all? That's exactly how it was for me, and we hear it often in our patterns group too. So... If you could do your favorite hobby every day and get paid to do it, why not go for it? It sounds like a dream job! And it very well can be. If you're like I was, though, it can be hard to know how to get started. For that reason, I'm excited to help point you in the right direction; not by telling you to run to the store and buy five bolts of all your favorite fabrics (although that can come later), but by giving you the basics on how to get started as a legitimate boutique. You deserve it! Whether you're hoping to sell one order a month out of your home, or several outfits per day online, you will want to take the proper steps to keep your customers happy and yourself protected. We are going to refer to this topic as "compliance." Compliance basically means that you are following the rules. (Learning the rules isn't as fun as sewing, I admit, but it is important to keep you sewing for a long time.) I learned most of what I know about compliance from the US Safety Compliance Group on Facebook, which you are very welcome to join, and I highly recommend you do. They started out as a discussion group for cloth diapers but it has expanded to include all sorts of handmade items. There are helpful discussions going on there every day. Misty Henry is the head admin on the page and she seems to know everything there is to know about compliance. She has provided a lot of the info for today's blog post and you will soon be a huge fan of hers. (Trust me.) So let's get down to business! Used with permission: www.facebook.com/cruzbysheenawhitlock Basically, to become compliant, you are mostly concerned with safety compliance, as determined by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). They regulate any product that is made or sold to someone other than yourself. Their main job is protect consumers. However, by protecting consumers, they are also protecting your business from issues that would come about if your consumers were harmed. This means that aside from business compliance (registering with the government, paying taxes etc.), you also need to have safety compliance -- that is, tags and documentation showing that all of your supplies have undergone proper safety testing. Yes, that means that everything that goes into your creation has to be proven as safe. Your fabric, buttons, ribbon, snaps -- everything has to have documentation stating that they have been tested. That's not as impossible as it might sound. For example, I easily found this info on the Kam Snaps website, and all I have to do is email them for their certificate. Some materials (such as 100% polyester) are exempt from testing, but for everything else you need to have written records from the source of whomever tested it. Believe it or not, just because a fabric is sold at a big name fabric store, that does not mean that it is approved by the CPSC. The store is simply providing a supply. It is your job as the creator of the final product to prove that it is safe for your customers. This may all sound overwhelming, but it is very doable. And in order for you to be a legitimate boutique, you need to do it! (And you will feel like a rock star when you get there.) Thankfully, we don't all have to figure it all out on our own as we go. Misty has broken it down into simple steps for us and explained what they mean. Rather than trying to re-write everything she has already written, I got permission from Misty to link to her pages. Be sure to thank her, because these helps are amazing! First of all, you will need to start by registering your business with the government and the CPSC. Follow the steps that apply to the type of items you want to sell. By the end of those steps, you will be filed with your local, state, and federal government, and ready to pay taxes. You will also be registered with the CPSC - very important. And you will have an EIN# and RIN# if necessary, as well as your SBM# (small batch manufacturer number). Don't worry, all of those are described very well in the link above. Used with permission: www.facebook.com/pookieprincessdesigns Once you have the appropriate paperwork filed and numbers obtained, you can begin gathering safety compliance info on your products. I wasn't sure where to start on this myself, or if I had to throw away all my old supplies and start from scratch. (Please, no!) But of course Misty came to the rescue again. If you're a fan of funny memes, you're going to enjoy the next few links! Misty gives us a "Follow Me" series that takes us from start to finish of safety compliance in real life. Enjoy: Follow Me #1 Follow Me #2 Follow Me #3 Follow Me #4 There, wasn't that fun? If you were like me and just looked at the funny memes the first time through, you might want to go back and read the info between the photos. It's very important. But I still can't resist sharing one more: And finally, here is the master list of files that Misty has put together for the compliance group. There is a ton of info there, all explained in normal-people language. I want to give a big thanks again to Misty for sharing her knowledge and resources with us. Safety compliance is a subject we can't just ignore (it won't go away!), and I love how she has made it doable for all of us. I still highly recommend that you find your way over to the US Safety Compliance group at some point, to get clarification on any questions you might have. The other members there can help you through any roadblocks you might come to (they have been there before!), and they can also help point you in the direction of supplies that they already know are compliant.

From branding your boutique, to pricing helps, and ideas for cute packaging, there's a lot of info there! We have been in your shoes and we love sharing what we've learned! I hope that this blog post has helped you become more aware rather than discouraged. You can achieve your dream of opening a boutique! And it will be so worth it to become compliant. Anything worth doing is worth doing right! It's time to make your dream a reality and start sewing for fun and profit! Let's Create! ~ Kristen

Bilinçli zihinimizin etki altında kaldığı milyonlarca bitlik bilginin %90'lık oranını bilinçdışı zihnimiz kayıt altına alır. Biz bunların tamamına yakın olanının farkına bile varamayız. Bilinçli zihin, beynin ürettiği elektriğin beta dalga boyuna dönüştüğü zaman diliminde beslenir. Halbuki tüm deneyimlerimizin temelinde bilinçdışı zihnimiz yatar. Bilinçdışı zihne ulaşmanıntek yolu da beyin dalgalarının yavaşladığı alpha(alfa), theta(teta) ve delta dalga frekansında olmaktır. Düşüncelerimizden doğan duygularımızın oluşturduğu manyetik alana, benzer manyetik alanı bulunan olay ve kişiler çekilir. Bunca yıllık araştırma ve çalışmalarımın sonucunda kesin bir kanıya vardım. Her kişinin yaşadığı duyguların o kişiye özel bir şekli, rengi, ölçüsü, sesi, hareketi ve dokusu vardır. Bu niteliklerin her biri, farklı kişilerde aynı duygular olmasına karşın FARKLIDIR. Dolayısıyla, bilinçdışı zihin temizliği yaparken bu önemle vurguladığım noktalardan biridir. Verdiğim Theta eğitimlerinde, tüm işlemin başarılı olmasının tek anahtarının bu detayın olduğunu söylerim. Tabii ki bu detay ezberlenecek bir formül değildir. Theta tekniklerinin ana hatları öğrenildikten sonra zamanla kazanılan tecrübenin sonucu elde edilir. Bu olumlu ya da olumsuz duygular bizim bilinçdışı zihnimizin titreştiği frekansa rezone olurlar. Böylelikle orada bu duygulara eşit frekansa sahip enerji alanını aktive ederek, onları düşüncelerimizin oluşturduğu frekans alanına taşır ve yaşamımızda kısır bir döngü oluştururlar. ''İşte tam olarak hayatımda yaşadıklarım!'' dediğinizi duyar gibiyim. Evet, haklısınız! Bu çok sinir bozucu bir durum. Bunun tek kesin bir çözümü var. O da, bu duyguları fiziksel bedenimizin titreştiği frekansa uyumlamak ve o düzeyde yok edip yine kendi frekansına yollamaktır. Onun haricinde yapılan işlem, gölgeleri silerek yok etme çabasına benzer. Siz silmeye çalıştıkça o daha da güçlenir ve sonunda tüm azminizi yok eder. Bu duygulara etki etmenin tek yolu bulunduğu frekansı fiziksel beden frekansına dönüştürmektir. Aynı okulda öğrendiğimiz matematik ve fizik formülleri gibi. Önce dönüştür sonra çöz...
