Website and Blog

Website
I officially bought the rights to Olive Grace Studios last night! Gotta love: godaddy.com I was so proud of myself after two hours of saying curse words and finally getting an under construction page done and published. Today though I decided that I need to either take a web design class or PAY someone to design it. So…my mom was looking at quilt shop websites tonight and she pointed out one and said “your’s need to be like this”. The funny thing is it was all flash based and fancy. Something this girl can’t do on her own. Oh and this came from the lady who is just learning how to email (I love you mom)! Maybe, Santa will send me some cash for a cool website instead of two front teeth. In conclusion to website design it may be a while for my COOL website to be up and running but I have moved up in the world. I have my very own web address http://www.olivegracestudios.com/! I have so many ideas for the website and hopefully can find someone to help me get them from my brain to the web! Next subject...
Blog
So today I am looking at my new website that links to my blog and of course I am all proud of myself. I then realize that I have comments…yes comments. So I clicked on them and wow I had one from a friend that gave me a hard time for not blogging the correct way. Then I was more embarrassed that it was all the way back in September along with others I did not realize were there. I am officially a bad blogger but practice makes perfect and I am going to try my damnedest to dazzle my readers. I will get better…I hope! Please be patient with my blogging skillz…

P.S. If anybody knows a good web-designer let me know!!!!!

hand pecked debb said...: I would stay away from the flash heavy websites since the contents can not be "searched" through google and can be hard to go back and for between pages. For example, the cannon site is hard to navigate and find specific pages.; December 16, 2008 at 10:07 PM

The Olive Grace Story

5 years has come and gone and oh how things have changed!

What is Olive Grace Studios ?
It is a sweet little quilt shop and a pattern and design company!

Who is behind Olive Grace Studios?

Me (Kori Turner-Goodhart) and the people that inspire me and the memory of people who I have loved and lost.

Since I was a little girl my mom and grandmas’ took me in and out of little quilt shops and surrounded me with fabric. I believe this is where the dream of opening a quilt shop all began. When I went away to college this enigma was put on the back burner. I received a B.F.A. in Interior Design from Savannah College of Art and Design and headed off to the corporate world of Interior Architecture. The path of climbing the corporate ladder was not for me and I looked back at the dream I had once envisioned. So I packed my apartment up in Washington D.C. and Dad moved me home to Fowler! I opened my little quilt shop in hopes of sharing my experiences through my pattern, hand picked sewing goods and gifts. Now I am designing and using the Olive Grace Studios brand as a path way to great things in the quilting industry.

Where is olive grace Studios, llc (an eccentric quilt shop)?

The little red school house at my parent’s home and my sewing studio in my home basement!

What is so ironic about my idea is that in the late 50’s the Dewitt sisters who’s family originally built my family’s home saved the schoolhouse from becoming a garage. The sister’s moved the one room schoolhouse to our property to become a retail space and McGuffy Reader Museum. They to had a big idea…Mable’s was to provide our community with music lessons and Evelyn’s was to have a quilt shop and classes. Although the sisters never opened their own shop I hope in some way I am making their dream come true too.
