My Story continued -
Hi Everyone I'm back,
I've been busy trying to straighten out my web pages and store. But I would like to continue with my story.
By the time I had gotten to the point of making the animals, I had been 6 years in another bad relationship trying to get through it. It brought on a lot more stress and depression. Within that time I had been in an life threatening auto accident, gotten a new job, threatened to be fired, child custody problems, bought a double wide, and lots of significant other problems.
So guess what back to the drawing board and starting new projects again.
First project I started was fixing my house up. It had been through hell with my last relationship and need repairs. At that point I had to do most of them myself. Small budgets and a lot of time on my hands.
I tore the carpet up, put down Pergo floors, new wall board, paint, plaster, wall paper, bead board. My double wide was looking new again. And my parents moved in the next 3 years. (time to start crafting again)
I started making throws and quilts for my children and numerous other people .
Then came my sister, she had been bugging me to start scrap-booking with her.
I put her off a year or two. Oh well might as well try it. We started having all night marathons along with one of our other friends. Drinks, food, and scrapbooks party down!!!! No no lie we did have a pretty good time.
We scrapped for a couple of years and still do on occasions. We take 2 trips a year up to Boyne Highlands for their Girls Just Wanna Crop weekends. This has become stress free weekends I look forward to every year.
A couple of years ago I was short if funds for Christmas. And what do you get your family members that have everything? I had seen on Pinterest on how to make these wreaths out of fabric and I had a lot of it. So I made 15 wreaths that year for gifts. I started showing them off and had gotten a few orders. My friends have been awesome over the years. So I thought I would order some more supplies and keep making them. You guessed it I pooped out.
Two years later and a understanding significant other!! I'm starting again. Lets see if I can find my niche and make this work. It would be a nice retirement gig.
Still learning the laws, figuring out the web, and making wreaths!!!
And this is suppose to be a stress re-leaver!! LOL
Thanks for reading my boring life. But it helped me a lot being able to get my mind away from my troubles with my crafts.
I would recommend everyone to have a hobby.
