This year has met with many challenges, however I am keeping my head up. My first fair for this year that I did back in March turned out okay. However okay is not enough for me I feel that I need to do more. I have scheduled 2 more craft fair for this year. One at the end of October and one at the end of November. I am working really hard to get an assortment of items done for both of these boutiques. I have also been approach to make Halloween costumes for a mother of 2 whose mother was going to make the costumes but passed away 2 weeks ago. I am staying busy which is great and I am loving it.

My fair lady

My life these days have had some ups and downs. I have decided that I need to get my hustle on with getting my business going better than it has been over the last 2 years. My goal is to get my name out there and to do at least 3 fairs this year. I had this goal last year however I only did 1 fair and even though it could have been more successful at least I passed out some cards.
I was so truly blessed from the sermon at Moutaintop Faith Ministries on the last Sunday of 2012. The theme was "Speak That Thang", the pastor talked about speaking those things into existance as though they were. So with that I spoke that I would like my business to be more successful this year that what it was last year. I have since joined OC Boutiquers and have schedule my first fair of 2013 on March 16th at CalvaryChapel in Downey.

Motivation

There are so many things that are running thru my head right now. I have found my first craft fair for 2013. I am trying to get things in order so that I have a variety of things to offer as well as alot of each item. My goal today was to come home and get started, however after only having 2 hours of sleep last night I am starting to wear thin. There is a movie that is coming on that I really want to watch so I need to move from the bed to the sewing table. Wish me luck.

Well it is the last day of 2012 and as I look back on this year to reflect the things that I have accomplished this year I have not acheived my goals. I had surgery the beginning of this year and was unable to walk for 4 months. During this time there were ups and downs, but God brought me thru the ruff moments. My goal this year was to do at least 3 craft bazaars and unfortunately I only did 1. The one that I did was not as successful as I would have hoped it to be, I sold one necklace and had a special order for a kids blanket. For 2013 I am going to try and increase and do 4 craft bazaars and truly focus on getting things posted to my Etsy store. God has answered my prayers to be able to have more time to work on my business. I also want to focus more on keeping up with my blog.

Motivation Needed

I have so many things that I want to do for this bazaar next month, I just need the motivation to get back inside of me. I need to ask the Lord to guide me and be by my side so that I may use my gifts that He has given me. I think that it may also be partially due to the fact that it is incredibly hot and I can't open the windows because the wasp will make their way inside the house because of the opening in the side of the screen frame.

I'm Back

It has been awhile since I have written on my blog. So many things going on that I just have not had time. I need to get back into the swing of things. I need to just commit to making something and then post to both my blog and etsy pages.

Pillowcases and more

Today I decided that I would do some sewing. So out come the sewing machine to make some more pillowcases. The goal is to post on Etsy tomorrow.
