I've been working really hard to finish a few more pieces so I can open my Etsy shop by August 1st. I'm absolutely digging the work. It's a great way for me to check out for a bit,do something for me that I really love, listen to music, and most importantly have a creative outlet again!
I have a tendency of looking at the big picture too much and sometimes...ok all the time...it kicks me off the track. It disrupts my focus. In turn I take on too much and then there's no way for me to succeed. So this time I will learn from past mistakes and take this one step at a time!
My hubby is in sales and he always says "nothing happens until you sell something." So true. When I started this blog I thought...
-do a project start to finish
-take pictures along the way
-blog about it.
Easier said then done! Tutorials take time. I've got 2 young kids, a husband that travels for work and we don't live close to family. So I don't have much help. I need to be honest about what I can and can not accomplish so I don't set myself up to fail. At this point in time I am stealing moments to work on my projects. So I will not be doing tutorials right now. I'm not saying never I'm just saying not right now. I will post pictures of my work but step by step tutorials with pictures are just not happening.
2 weeks ago I had a mother's helper 3 hours a day for the entire week.
It's amazing how much you can get done when you have uninterrupted time to work. I absolutely ADORE my littles but it's not easy to craft when they are in the studio with me. We are in the process of setting up a play space in the basement. This will definitely buy me some more time. So for now I will not bite off more than I can chew. I'll be back with updates on getting the shop up and running.
Until then...

The only thing I need to concentrate on right now is getting my store up and running and of course selling something!
