I've been away for a while, but wanted to post an update that I can always be found on my facebook page:

.

I have a successful Hairbow business and plan to add my crochet items to my inventory as quickly as possible.

I'll continue to post information, updates and tutorials as the year 2014 rolls in.

A little out of it lately but coming back

I'm trying to get back on track after being a little out of it for over a month. I have a few health issues I'm dealing with and have found some great doctors, so that puts me in a hopeful state of mind. I'm very close to being pain-free, but fatigue is something I'm still working on, but hey, I'm 49 years old and I can't expect to feel 18 at this time of my life. Oh well, enough of that, things are looking better and that is what is important.

I have several new crochet patterns in the works, still trying to unpack after our move and may very well go back to work in an office. My husband bought me an iPhone so that will help me run my Etsy shop while away from my computer. I'm still learning but I am getting the hang of it all.

I've moved all my scrapbooking supplies to my daughter-in-law's house and we are able to crop there. She is super organized and has seen to it my supplies are being put to good use. She is such a sweetheart and I'm so thankful she is in our life. She and I get to spend some "mom and daughter" time together and it's very good for me. My other sweet daughter-in-law has been able to come and crop with us and I hope we can do that on a regular bases. I have really been blessed with these 2 young ladies. My sons really know how to pick great wife's.

My craft room is coming along well. I will share photo's when I get to that point. I have a nice L-shaped desk in there so I can work on my designs and I have crates where I will store my yarn and books along the walls. I will have to destash some more but still, I have more supplies then any one person should ever have. Even with removing my scrapbooking supplies and loading up my d-i-l's craft room, I still have a FULL room left to deal with. Atleast this way I will not get sidetracked between two different hobbies.

We have almost all our beading supplies moved into my husband's studio, still I need access to those supplies because I want to work some beadwork into some of my new crochet patterns.

Even though it's hot outside, I'm thinking about Fall and Winter items already. It's busy busy busy and I'm loving it.

Contract on Our House

We finally have a contract on our house in GA and should close on it on the 27th. It's very exciting to finally not have two house notes again. Things have started to get tight on our budget so this contract has come at a great time.

Our house will be missed and we had alot of good memories there, but we are now making good memories in our new house. We will return to visit with friends, because we made friends who feel they are our family.

Below are a few pictures of our house in GA.

Landscaping for our house

We have been so busy during the past year. With the move we purchased a beautiful place but there was absolutely no landscaping done with the exception of grass. First thing we did was dress up the front of the house. My darling daughter-in-law and the guys got out there and worked so hard to help make this place have our personal touch. We will add more once we sale our house in GA.

We have had so many neighbors to stop by and compliment us on our yard. It really makes us feel welcomed.

Growing with my Hobby

I am trying to kick up my hobby a little by writing more patterns. I've really enjoyed it and it's helping me to change my priorities.

I have several more patterns that are on the drawing table and I'm very excited about that. Lately when I'm away from my yarn and hook, it's only long enough to type out my patterns, take pictures or to buy more supplies.

I am still working on finding time to unpack and organize my new craft room. I have a desk in there and I know where everything is going to go, now I have to get the time and energy together to just do it. I probably have more supplies then any one human should have and that is AFTER I freecycled many of the items when leaving Warner Robins, GA. It's exciting to go through my items but I need to get serious about completely unpacking, but who can find the time. Oh well, it will not be today because it's already full.
