Promise Kept

To you, my blog. On Saturday I made a promise and I would just like to say that despite the laziness of the day I did actually get a few things done. I was sitting at my sewing table (where I also do most of the other crafty things that my brain conjures up)when out of no where came an idea. I made a necklace out of some scraps from other project that I had laying around and it is definitely one of my favorite pieces thus far. I will be posting it in my shop tomorrow and am really excited to see how many looks it gets.

On a silly inner child note. This shop on etsy has made me feel like a little kid again. I wake up every morning with hopes that someone has decided to make a home for one of my items. I sign in and the second I see if the number of items I have for sale has changed I either get really excited or let out a pouty huff and get a bit disappointed. My husband keeps reminding me that this shop is still new and I am only beginning. I know that I can only go up from here and am super excited to see how far up I can actually go.

Motivation

When I woke up this morning I thought about doing some creative work and instead ended up on the couch. Then I thought about going on a walk. Which I actually did. Well kind of. It was short and sweet with the main motivation behind it being so that my dog could...go. Today is a lazy day. Lacking in motivation entirely. Change is needed.

So I will make a promise to you. My blog. I promise to go work on some things for my little cyber shop with hopes that I will make a sale and it will all feel worth it.

I think that I need patience. I need to have faith that things will work out and that my goals will not be quickly achieved, but that when I do finally achieve them, it will be worth it. All the worry. All the wondering if I am good enough at what I do. It will all be worth it. I believe it will all be worth it. After all, if making things and sharing them with the world is what makes me happy, then isn't it already worth it?

Addiction

Confession. I am addicted. Without a doubt have a major problem. You see, I guess it started a couple of months ago. The searching. The pure addiction. What is it I am addicted to? Hobby Lobby, Joann's, the local thrift stores, etc. It is getting a little silly. Like I said, a couple of months ago this all started.

I have always loved to create things, make new things out of old things and seek inspiration from all the corners of my life. But now that I have my little shop in cyber space it has truly began to monopolize my thoughts. Every where I go I seem to get a new idea. My note pad on my phone is currently filled with crafty ideas and lose thoughts. The worry. That I will never be able to do everything that I want to do. I think my entertainment budget has been surrendered to my dreams of creating all that I can. Which is fine, for me, but my husband wants a new pair of shoes.

So in conclusion I think that I need to slow down. Slow Down??? An impossible feat to conquer. If you knew my crazy go go go personality you may just understand that I truly have a problem slowing down. But, for the sake of my husbands cause, I will try.

More to come...
