Hi there precious followers. It is currently Friday afternoon/early evening-ish and I have the house to myself. I so enjoy a quiet house with no one else in it (minus the dog). I can hear the sound of the laundry machine going, my itunes library on shuffle is now playing a David Crowder Christmas song (which I'm not complaining about) and a cup of coffee sitting next to me on the living room floor.
It has been a rough week. Actually, a rough FEW weeks and today hasn't been any easier. I planned on blogging about what's been going on with recovery and treatment but I'll save that for later this weekend so keep checking back! In result of my challenging past few days I have been crafting out the wazoo. Which is good for me because it keeps me out of trouble and my mind off of my eating disorder for a little while. And it just makes me happy :) Which is what I need more of so I'll take crafty-happy any day!
My only dilemma is I craft all of these projects and then have no idea what to do with them. So I've been doing a lot of thinking about this but I am going to officially go into business. I've been debating because if it's a bust and no one wants to buy anything than I'll look like a complete crafty wanna be. But I then reasoned with myself and decided that I won't know if I'm gonna end up a wanna be crafter or the go-to-girl-crafter until I give it a try. So I will be purchasing a booth at a Spring Market Fair that is on March 11th and selling my spring and easter things (that aren't made yet but we're not freaking out). My goal is to break even with the cost of the booth ($125.00). If I do that then I'm gonna be in a good place and if I don't then I'll reevaluate and try again. I am going to need to think of a name for my "business", I have a few ideas running through my head but nothing that has "wowed" me yet. If you have ideas then let me know! We love help from other people :)
One last thing and then I'll let you look at what I've made so far and the pictures which I'm sure is what you are all here for. From today until forever of me being in business (forever meaning 3 months or 3 years) I will be donating a percentage of all purchases to an organization for either eating disorders or depression/self harm etc. For this month I'll be putting 20% of every purchase towards NEDA; considering it's eating disorder awareness month. After February we'll reevaluate and go from there :)
