Being accountable for a dream

Accountability according to the Mirriem-Webster dictionary means an obligation or willingness to accept responcibility or to take account for ones actions. This week I posted on my facebook page about a dream the C and I have been talking about. I want to start making some baby items to sell online and in local craft shows. Up until that post we had just been talking about it and dreaming but now I have a community of friends who know about my plans and will be following up with me on whether I have started to make products yet. The more people I tell the more accountable I am for this dream.
I put my dream out there now I have to act on it. Well, I could just tell people I gave up on it but who could really do that?
I have spent the week so far checking online to see how much the items I am interested in making go for looking for cute fabric, checking the cost and trying to make sure this could eventually be a profitable endeavor because yes this is a dream and I am looking forward to the fun of making things but it is also supposed to help supplement C's paycheck to help me stay home longer with Connor.
To make myself more accountable, here is the dream: I want to make unique reasonably priced baby related items to sell online (etsy or e-bay) and/or in shops here in town and at craft functions. Items I am going to start with are: burp cloths, coordinating blankets, pee pee tee pees, breast pads and nursing covers. Some ideas I am thinking of are: cloth wipes, headbands, slimline wallets for diaper bags, quilts with modern prints, bibs. I think I will call my "business" Baby Bubby.
So here is to being accountable for a dream!
