An Awesome View of Life

The early days. This poster is on the side of the fridge in the basement. This is one of the first local bodybuilding competitions Cherry Bombs sponsored. I still love Kevin Levrone.  And love that my logo is on the poster just above Zubaz.  My start in the industry was making my own version of "Zubaz-like" pants.  1999!  It seems like a really long time ago.

  A view from under the table...   while manning our Cherry Bombs booth in Milwaukee. 

  Bright Colors for a Cold Day...   My business, Cherry Bombs Attitude Gear has been around for quite awhile.  For years I have been looking for THIS color of thread.  I FINALLY found it. NEON GREEN on a metallic FUCHSIA fabric makes for a pretty photo.  But no I will NOT be using the green thread on this fabric!!

Pieces of Dreams   Yesterday I posted a picture of a stack of folded fabric that I had used for the past couple of days.  Today my picture is scraps of those same fabrics, entitled "Pieces of Dreams".  My company makes competition suits for bodybuilders, figure, fitness and physique competitors.  These little scraps of fabric represent their dreams in these sports. All their determination to get to the point where they need one of my very little suits to get out there on that stage.

Maybe something like this... For the past 14 years I have run my own business out of my home. Currently our warehouse and shipping desk take up most of the laundryroom. 1/3 of our basement family has two industrial shelving units full of fabric and this is our cutting department. About half of the living room is my workroom. As with having personal goals I have business goals. Some day I would like to have a huge space to have a storefront, work area and a warehouse. Something like this storefront in my favorite south Minneapolis neighborhood. It even has apartment space for my daughters.
