blessed

Today was a long one. Fighting kids to get ready and on time for school, dentist appointment, flat tire, dance class, make dinner, help with homework....the list was long today. I did get a chance to go to a craft night with some of the ladies from my ward. I haven't ever really felt like I have any real friends here. Even though we've been in this house for 7 and a half years, I just haven't found my "niche". There are a few girls from church, and I enjoy being with them, but I tend to feel really insecure about opening up and actually stepping out of my comfort zone with anyone. Thank goodness this wonderful group of women doesn't give up and continues to invite me to things despite my lack of friendliness. Tonight I got to go to a craft night at one of their homes. There were only 6 of us there, everyone doing little projects or just chatting. I had so much fun! I finally glimpsed a little bit of what I've been missing for so long. I enjoy the company of these ladies so much, and love that they are so much fun to hang out with. It might sound a bit silly that I am going on and on about it, but tonight I am feeling blessed to have had a wonderful evening with some wonderful friends!

Miss Mia

I did a mini shoot for Miss Mia. Here are a couple of my favs! We are planning on doing more asap!

Bazaar

Well, my first bazaar went about as well as I expected. There wasn't a lot of advertising, and with it being their first year, not many people knew about it. I only sold about $11.00 worth of stuff. That's ok though. I wasn't expecting much. Plus, it makes it so that I don't have to stress about finishing things for the big bazaar on the 20th.
I was talking to Ang and Melissa about it and I think this is my last year doing the bazaars. I enjoy having the day of fun with them and I love making things, but I don't like the mess and chaos it tends to create at home. I'd rather just spend the day with them shopping or go spend the night at the beach or something. Maybe I can see if we could use Grandma Ard's beach house one Friday night or something like that.
I have also decided that I can still make the fun things I enjoy making, but instead of mass producing them to sell, I can make a few here and there for my family and friends. So, watch out!! Crazy homemade things may be coming your way soon!
