Dreams

I had a short John Grisham/I want to be a lawyer stage in high school, then a shorter massage therapist stage (until I realized there is no way I could touch someones' feet, let alone hairy back). Mostly, I've been happy to be a mom. I've always crafted a little, there aren't any rooms in my house that don't have something I've made, most have lots that I've made. If I could anything at, all I'd craft. I imagine myself as a down-to-earth Martha Stewart. I'd build my kids one of those adorable playhouses in the backyard. I have dreams of designing dressers and headboards. Well, maybe my dreams go beyond crafts. I don't possess those skills yet though! 

This dream has been nagging at me for a long time. I've sold little bits here and there, hosted craft groups, and of course done Super Saturday. With the explosion of the craft blogs, I felt like I'd be lost in the crowd, which I probably will be, but this is what makes me happy. I started at the beginning of this year, I did a few projects and sold a pretty good amount for just starting and just advertising to my friends on facebook. Then my husband had  surgery and I was in survival mode for a few months, I feel like things are getting back to normal or I am getting used to this new normal. So, I'm back at it.  I've started fresh, new blog, new ETSY account, I even ordered business cards (I've never had business cards!). I'm ready to make this work!
