Over the past two years I have come to a realization. I can not do everything. There are so many thing that I want to do. I want to draw and knit and scrapbook and sew and have a garden and cook for my family and keep my house cleaner. I can not do all of these things. There is not enough time in my life to do these things. Before I had a baby there was not enough time to do all of these things. I think that other people have more than one hobby but I have not been able to figure out how they do it. I have tried to make schedule but once I fit all the house hold items in there is hardly if any time for the other things. There are people who can do it though. I see them on other blogs. Do these people not have lives. Are they gifted when it comes to scheduling and multitasking.
Besides the things that I already know that I love to do and don't have the time for there are tons of new things that I want to try. Each of these new things has supplies and tools that one would need to do them. How do people afford it and were in the hell are the putting all of that stuff!
I suppose most people just choose one hobby and stick with it. I imagine these are the people that always have the time for there hobbies and the money to spend on them. How did these people do it? How did they choose just one way to express themselves creatively? Do they not dream of other hobbies? Maybe they never wish that they had learned to paint or make pottery, or work on their own car, or decorate their child's birthday cake themselves the way I do. Maybe they do but it does not not haunt them the way it does me. That is how I feel sometimes, haunted by all the things that I have never tried. Maybe there are others out there like me. I would hate to think that I am all alone. Lost in a world of things to try and never enough time to try them all.
Well the place that me and my mom wanted to sell our line of baby clothes at fell through. I think that we have found someplace else that may actually draw in a lot more customers. I hope that it works out we are still really excited about our products!
Well, I have come to grips with the fact that all of our stuff is gone. Now I am ready to start making more. We just need to get the funds again. We can't do anything with out money! We will need to stock up on supplies before we can start.
i have joined the magic yarn ball swap at craftster. this is going to be so much fun. i have been trying to think of all the things that i am going to hide in the yarn ball. i have a few really good ideas, some so so ideas, and i still need to think of some more ideas. my partner sounds really cool but did not give me much input on what she might want so i am trying to think of the best stuff that i can. it has to be mailed by the 4th. i hope i can get it all done by then.
Well our tiny little store front opens tomorrow. I can't wait. I call it tiny because we are only starting out with a 4'x4' booth space. We have it filled up though and I think that it is going to look really good once we get the rest of the decorations up. I just hope that the type of items that we have made will sell. I'm just not any good at knowing that kind of thing.
Today was pattern making day. I completed my "Snuggle Bunny" pattern. I hope to make one of these this weekend. I am also about to start working on a quilted cuff pattern like the one that I mentioned earlier. I hope that they both turn out cute see that I have only made two patterns before.
