Yay! Right after I wrote that last post, I quit Swiss Colony.... like hours after. It was the best decision I've ever made. I had no idea how much that job was bringing me down. I didn't hate the job and I didn't mind the people I worked with, it was just not right for me at this point in my life. I was working too much and my family was paying the price. So, now I'm free to spend more time with the people that matter the most to me. I am very grateful for that.
So now because I have a little free time, I've been finding projects to do. My dear friend Stefanie got me hooked on Pinterest. (If you haven't checked it out... do it... seriously... right now.) I have found sooooo many DIY projects on there that I want to start. Only problem... no money. Hey, I guess that's what happens when you quit a job. But, what's more important: family or money? No brainer. Anywho, I've taught myself how to crochet and I've made a few hats and stuffed animals and scarfs. They're pretty cute. I'm trying to get the motivation to finish up a scarf for my sister-in-law, a fox stuffed animal, and a koala hat. Hopefully today I can get those puppies done. Next on my list to crochet are two slouchy hats for my mother-in-law, a sweater, a hat for a friend's baby, a Winnie the Pooh hat, and a blanket for my daughter. We'll see how far I get before my fingers fall off. :)
We're hoping to remodel our basement within the next year, so I'm getting super excited about getting my teacher/craft room all set up and ready to use. I can't wait! I *might* be getting it as a Christmas present... fingers crossed! I was on Pinterest (surprise surprise) and I found this blog that showed this woman's sewing room. I think my jaw hit the floor and drool flooded out of my mouth. You can see what her craft room looks like here. If only my house were HUGE and could accommodate a room that size. I am perfectly happy having a teeny tiny room as my craft room. <Enter huge grin>... SOOOOO EXCITED!
