Right now, we're in talks to take over a pre-existing local craft business that sells stamps and related supplies online. I don't really know much about the stuff, but I'm going to give the web site a major overhaul and bring it into the current decade. Right now, it looks like an old Tripod site (I'm surprised it doesn't have webrings or an InsideTheWeb BBS) so I'm going to modernize it with XHTML Strict (HTML 5 is unnecessary for the majority of the current customers), PHP/SQL, new pictures, and all kinds of fancy stuff. This is going to be a joint venture with my wife, her brother, and her brother's wife. The plan is to not only buy the business outright, but to also possibly buy the current owner's house and workshop. We're also working on plans to expand the business into beads and other crafts and scrapbooking supplies, but more importantly, I'm working on various handmade crafts that will hopefully coincide with the mini recycling center I'm trying to set up. As is, the business brings in a good amount of revenue each month (enough to support the four of us without needing other jobs) and I hope we'll be able to increase that by at least 50%-70%. This is still in the early stages, however, so I'm not sure yet if we will even need a Kickstarter for it.
Additionally, I am working on a book that I might need some help with. But this is the least important project in the works right now because I've just begun and it will be a while before I finish. Plus, I'm not terribly creative nor do I enjoy anything that I've ever created, so this may or may not eventually be abandoned.
The most important thing going on right now is the bakery that we are trying to open. We've been baking things for a couple of years now and we have had a lot of success with that, but it's on a very small scale. My wife wants to open a full-on bakery so we can have a public storefront and greatly increase the potential customer base. And where we plan on operating, there is no dedicated bakery for 60 miles (unless you count the doughnut shop), so there is little competition. It also helps that my wife's family is very highly regarded in the community...it's a small community in which her dad is one of the best-known teachers and coaches at the only high school, her mom is a teacher's aide at the kindergarten, and her brother is also a coach and one of the most popular rafting guides (her dad and brother are also part of the local search-and-rescue). Everybody knows their family, so that will be a big help.
The bakery is just a start, though. We also have plans for batting cages and a Wonderland-themed miniature golf (possibly with an arcade, although we all know that can be risky). All of these things will be in the same plaza and they will hopefully provide much-needed ways for kids and families to get out and have fun. This is very important to us because it's a tight-knit community that has to the potential to be an incredibly good environment for raising children, but there is absolutely no entertainment besides the one-screen movie theater and tiny bowling alley. There is a lot to do if you like hiking and rafting, but weather can make these activities unbearable for a large portion of the year and most kids turn to drugs because there really is nothing else to do. Considering that many kids don't make the hour-long trip to the nearest city until they're near adulthood, they really need other local activities.
Anyway...this is all in the very early stages and we're still figuring out if it's even feasible and if we'd be able to get the necessary permits and whatnot. Real estate is insanely cheap (can easily get 80+ acres for $400,000) so that's a non-issue, but almost everything else is uncharted territory for us and we don't yet know how far we can take this. We may have to settle for just the bakery and batting cages, but hopefully we can take it much further. Depending on how things go, we may actually want to hire you to help with designing stuff (you'd be paid of course...and only if you'd be interested). I don't know how intricate you can get, but you've done great things for your own project and we'd just need some 3D scale models for wooden and fiberglass structures. But we'll cross that path if/when the time comes.
