Speaking with a fellow Etsy mom "dimple kids", we were discussing how we try to "one-up" our husbands on the difficulty of our days. Why do we do that? I realized I am constantly trying to beat my husband by explaining the severity of my day...like what am I trying to prove?
This week has been a rough one. Axel had his first cold, Etsy sales are really down (I don't know why...maybe this wonderful economy), those darn car tabs that you never budget for...just to name a few.
I feel I am hitting a wall with a crawling baby and a new business of my own. Some days it would be easier to give up on the thought that I am a "real" fashion designer and just realize that I am a mom who sews.
I am sure we all have these irrational thoughts...this is just my week to express them.
In other news, a friend and neighbor, Erica, brought home her little girl from Africa. I am anxious to meet her. Following her blog over the last months has been a journey for all friends and family. What a blessing to be included on such a personal adventure! Her name is Meron and from photos she is beautiful. You can see the life and spirit in her eyes and I think that comes from a country where you push on and endure what comes your way. Congrats Erica and family!
Hope all of you are having a great week. I am ready for actual fall weather. Most think I am crazy but there is just something about the cold Minnesota weather that makes me a Minnesota girl. I like it in a soaking-wet-stocking-feet-in-boots kind of way. (And I can't wait to take Axel sledding for the first time).
Hugs to all! Please check out my new Luna bag. She is beautiful, functional and pictured below. I am really proud of this design.
