Business and Life

Ah, life!
I contemplated making a personal blog along with this "professional" blog. When I began to think though, I don't have that much to say about both combined let alone by themselves. Also, I think the person I am represents my business, and vice versa. To know me is to know both of my little crazy worlds.
Life has been good. Really good. Lots of enlightenment. Periods of grey but the sun always shines through!! I decided I'm going to start a journal. A simple notebook with a divider will do. In the front half, I will write goals I wish to accomplish and in the second half, I will write the things I love about life. Each time I make an entry in the first (goals), I MUST write something in the second (now). But not the other way around. I think this is because it is very VERY important to be happy in the now. It's something I've been working on now for awhile and nothing I've attempted to do as ever has this great of outcomes. As great as it is to have goals, it is even better to be happy with where you are currently at. So that is my current project idea since the 365 project is on pause. I didn't start it when I said I would, so I will either start it on my first day of fall classes, or I will contemplate a different college-esque photo project.
As far as my sewing business goes, I finally made my first sale in my Etsy store!! I couldn't be more excited! I've recieved projects from all the advertising I've done but I've never sold something waiting in stock before. So I'm very excited!
I bought a bunch of new patterns including dog collars, two pairs of baby shoes and several from Jo-Ann's since they were having a sale. I came up with a GREAT idea on my own and I'm SO SO SO excited to make my first one!! I am waiting for lobster swivel clips to come in the mail and I am on my way to starting my first one! Yay! I will definitely post pictures up and I'm sure dedicate a whole entry to it! I still have pictures to take of some projects I recently completed, like a car bag, clothespin apron and custom dog bone. I'm always procrastinate on taking pictures of projects I made for myself.
I am off to bed, loves. I will post again soon and let you know how life, and the business is going!
Love, Jessica of Stitches and Spools
