When your values are clear to you, making decisions becomes easier. - Roy E Disney

PCS - The Crazies Has Hit Me, Finally!

The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of because words diminish your feelings - words shrink things that seem timeless when they are in your head to no more than living size when they are brought out. - Stephen King

My Journey - Fitting In

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else 

is the greatest accomplishment. -Ralph Waldo Emmerson 

My Journey - Living in the Moment - One Step at a Time

DIY - Painted Knife Block

So, I have been really bummed lately because I have only bits and pieces that I need to do some projects and I am unable to get the rest at the moment. Last night I decided to stop having a pity party and find something to do that would make my house more beautiful. I decided to paint my knife block. I had everything, yippee!!! Maybe you do to :D

Challenge - Craft for Income

So, I have had a few people suggest to me that I should craft for income. I tried in the past with making soap, but people wanted the same thing they buy in the store and for less. Therefore, I did not sell many bars of soap. The plus side to that experiment was I have plenty of super awesome soap for my family to use.

Then I started sewing a lot. I started sharing my sewing projects and again it was suggested that I sew for some money. I have put it off for a few reasons. (1) I often wondered how these other moms do this. Where do they find the time and what do they do with their children. I sometimes pictured their little toddlers working away in mommy's sweatshop (lol-bad I know) (2) My crafts have always been fun for me. Even after cursing my sewing machine out, it still felt like fun. I did not want the fun to be taken out of crafting. (3) Who the heck would buy an imperfect sewing project? Seriously people, handmade is never perfect. We are not computerized machines. Plus how much would someone pay. Is it worth my time and would it cover my expenses?
