Take two.

I'm going to try this again. I feebly and fumblingly tried to start a blog last summer, and quickly pushed it out of my routine, because I had no idea what I was doing. Well, I still have no idea what I'm doing, but hoping this time around it will develop on its own. I hope for it to be inspiring and entertaining, but sometimes it might just be a bad day, and I'll need to vent! I'm open to showing amazing handmade items, or sharing inspiring stories, or any other suggestions.

I've had on my mind lately thoughts of giving up my business. For lots of reasons--feeling like my work is inadequate, spending more on it than I make, not wanting it to take too much time away from my family--but the concrete truth of it is that it is not only what I want to do, but it is just what I do. I don't know what I would do if I didn't. I've learned way too much to just give it up, and when I look back at it, I'm in a better place with it than I was at the beginning, so logic dictates that another year or two should work wonders. Hopefully. Right now, it's barely a shadow of what I dream it to be, and that motivates me to move forward with it every day, even if it's just a little bit. I have a couple of years before both kids will be in school all day, so this is my chance to make a go of it. And I think I can.
