Satch & Sol has been TreeHugged


All the way from Barcelona, Jenna Watson wrote about Satch & Sol on TreeHugger. I am ecstatic to see Satch & Sol and the Mongolian artists' work (those super cute aqua mocs!) appear on such an amazing site. My sister-in-law shared TreeHugger with me awhile ago. Their site is a great resource for me as I actively look for ways to green my family and my business. I appreciate their ideas for greening our Halloween. It's a great honor for Satch & Sol to be mentioned on such an trusted and eco-friendly site.

Working with children in tow


Separation between work and home seems to get slimmer the more I dive into Satch & Sol, but it has been a natural and welcome progression. Sometimes, Solomon practices his sewing techniques, by my side, on his designated pair of sewing slippers. (I can't wait until he is done, so I may photograph and share his creation!) Once when the boys were angry about what they saw as an 'early bedtime', they hid two slippers and negotiated an extra bedtime book for their safe return. They know how important this business is to me and our whole family. Both my boys have learned to be patient when I am fulfilling an online order or diligently embroidering a special order. Afterall, preschool is only 3 days per week, but Satch & Sol is 7. I love my time at home with the boys and I am so grateful that they don't balk when I stitch at the playground or sort slippers while we build legos. Recently, the boys were thrilled to help me wrap our first palletized order and even more excited to watch the forklift take it from our garage to the big truck. Satchel told the grocery store checkout guy all about it. With Sam nicely helping update my QuickBooks account, we are now a true family business.
