Etsy

After lots of prayer and consideration, I have decided to open an Etsy Shop and I am SO excited! I don't have all the details worked out yet, and I actually haven't even made anything to sell (the ideas are all still in my head). I thought that there would be a lot involved in setting up my shop, but I discovered yesterday that it was so simple. And for that, I am thankful.

So now I am on a mission to get all of these ideas out of my head and get them up for sale! 

Wish me luck on my new adventure :-)

It's all in my head

Well hello everyone! I have to apologize for my little hiatus in blogging. I've been just a little preoccupied with teaching. For a while there I thought I was trying to overcome the impossible; but as time has gone on (and after a MUCH needed Thanksgiving break), I am sure that I can totally handle this teaching thing (Lord willing).

So now that I feel like I have both feet on the ground, and my brain is back in working order; I am ready to focus on a few things that I have tucked away in that little corner of my mind. That corner is kind of like that one closet that we all have in our house that doesn't exactly have a purpose, it's the one that we use to throw the stuff in that we have no other place for - don't act like you don't have one. Maybe yours is just a junk drawer. I have a junk drawer and a basement closet for those things.


Anyway, the one thing in my life that has suffered a little since those school bells started ringing is my creative outlet - any of them really. I have not been able to do any sewing of any kind, and that little corner of my brain is about to explode! Like when you can barley shut that closet door because its so full (don't worry, you'll get time to clean that out someday). I am finding inspiration everywhere I go. It's insane!I have created a list of projects that range from sewing, to knitting, and embroidery. I am even contemplating opening my own Etsy shop, just to see if anything comes out of it. I am also rearranging my basement (again, in my head) to turn into my workshop. I'm very excited about these ideas, I'm praying God will open that door. You prayers would be appreciated to!

I am happy to report that I did finally conquer my first knitting project! (remember that knitting class I took back in October?) It was a long road and I almost lost my salvation over it, but God is graceful and after many, many, many, many tries, I made Brodey a scarf. It is FAR from being perfect, but perfection is what was keeping me from finishing my project and since I'm new to this, I can't expect perfection. It was a hard lesson to learn, but  now that I have jumped that hurdle I am running full stride to my next one. I can't wait to share all my ideas as they come to fruition (outside my head of course).
