Friendship

Today was a good day.

I have figured out that life is too short to hold grudges against people. Especially over something trivial. True friends are hard to come by. If you have a friend and things are not quite right between you, consider talking things over. Don't let something that happened years and years ago and is of little consequence today, get in the way of friendship.

Just a few thought that have been going through my mind lately, that's all.

A New Start

Today is February 12, 2010. I should start by saying that I have been so busy selling and creating new items for my ETSY shop that I haven't had any time to stop by to add new post to my blog. I could say that, but I wont. The truth is that since my last post I have gotten a new job, gotten laid off from said job and now I'm back to the old job hunt once again.

Still making and sell new thing at my ETSY shop as always. Enjoying being at home when my son get in from school. Still trying to lose the weight I have gained back from not working is ever present in my mind. But all in all, I guess things are okay in my life.

We had a pretty good showing of snow in Alabama today. I have pictures on my facebook of the great event. I must admit that I was a little excited to actually get snow this time. I mean, after going out and buying all my emergency food stuff for the big event. I'm happy to see my effort to be ready was not in vain this time. Way to go James Span and channel 33/40.

~~All in all I must say that God Is Good All The Time and All The Time God Is Good.~~

So until next time.

Something New

It has been quite a while since my last post, but what can I say. Life has a way of taking front stage sometimes. My son who is in the 7th grade this year, has shown me that maybe there is hope. I say that because the last couple of years for him has not been his best. His grades were slacking in almost every class, except gym. I have to honestly admitt that his bad grades were in part my fault. Working at Honda and having the swing shifts were not easy on me or my family. I couldn't be there to help out as much as I should have been. So in my work related absence, my sons grades failed miserably. But this year is proving to be a good one for him and myself. Even thought I am no longer working at Honda because of the recession and job layoffs. I am not at home with my son to supervise all homework and school projects. The one thing I can say is that some things do happen for a reason.

And my crafts website at ETSY.com has made some marked strides too. I have sold a few things and have made arrangements with a local shop to sell a few of my items. I'm really excited about that. And I plan to have a booth at my local Fall Festable in October set up with my things to sell also. With the discovery that I love to sew, alto of new ideas have started running through my head. And purse design is the new thing for me. I love to design purses. I see new designs almost everywhere I look. I cant walk in any store without looking at fabrics and buttons and zippers and anything that I think would work on a purse. I still crochet and knit, and I am working on a way to incorporate crochet in with my purse design.

And with the changing of seasons I plan to make more crochet hat and scarf sets out in beautiful colors.

So its off to buy more crochet yarn and gorgeous material for more handbag designs.

Just When...

Have you ever thought to yourself, "finally things are starting to look up" and WHAM!!! you get blindsided out of nowhere. You sometimes feel that there is a higher power, but He is not working in your favor. Well I have those days and it seems like I have those sort of days more often than not.

I 've heard the phase "GOD wont close one door without opening another" all of my life and I wonder to myself; who makes up this stuff??

But sure enough, if I look and listen close enough, something always comes through. Never when I want it to, but always on time. (that's another saying that's been around forever).

So I will keep holding my head up and looking toward the sky...

Depression

What can a person do about depression?? I really want to know. I think Im dead in the middle of a depression. I dont want to do anything. I dont want to leave my house. I dont even want to go to church on Sunday. I feel like there is a heavy weight laying right on my chest and I dont know to get off.

I lost my job at Honda in march. And it was a great job. I worked in VQ department. I got to drive off the new cars out to the parking lot or to where ever they were sent next. I was there for 4 years and made some really great friends. Right now Im working everyday making new things so add to my online shop. It feels my day most days trying to come up with some new crochet or knitting project. and it keeps me going. I love to see how some idea starts off in my head and ends up in a new creation in my hands. but for the last couple of days the feeling of something squeezing in on me keeps the joy from crocheting being fully realized.

And I know I have already spoken on the weight gain situation. As if that wasnt bad enough. Its like a cycle. Im depressed about my weight, so I go get something else to eat to fill a void. And because I just ate something when I know darn well I wasnt hungry, more depression and anger piles on me. so I go get something else to eat. I know I need to stop. I have to stop. I want to stop, but dont know how too. Its like a punishment.

My Crafty Side

It would seem that I have a few more things that I want to get out. Meaning I have more things of the crafty nature that I want to create. I have found that I love to sew. My aunt brought me a sewing machine for Christmas and I have been sewing things ever since then. Just another creative outlet for me I guess. I have quite a few handbags for sale at my ETSY.Com shop and even if I say so my self, they are pretty nice. So far from my shop I have sold 4 items. and I am very happy about that. I have to keep focused though, I need not to just sit and sew, crochet, paint, and knit all day. I do have other things to do, but it seems that getting the next idea that I have in my head out is very important. But it will all work out in the end. Balance is what I need now. The products I have, now I just need to focus on getting my ideas out there......


Patience is what I need.
