I want some new shoes something fierce!

Front Page!!

I made a treasury a couple days ago on etsy and found out yesterday morning that it was on the front page!!

I completely missed it, but thanks to craftcult, I can see a screenshot of it at least.  What do you think?

one foot in front of the other

I just applied to Renegade Austin.  Am I completely stupid for thinking my products are good enough to get in, or am I making an amazing move in the right direction?  At least if I don't get in, I have a good chunk of money that will show back up in my bank account in a month or so.

positive thinking is what I need
optimistic pessimism is what I have

In other news-  I made Pickles a pillow out of an old quilt that was rescued from a family member.  It's pretty cute, huh?

Lulu Bug Crush

I constantly have new favorite items and shops on etsy and thought I might share some with you (whoever you are) occasionally !!  I love EVERYTHING in this shop but here are a couple of my favorites.

These items are from Lulu Bug Jewelry.

You are braver than you believe necklace

Today my to do list was written on fabric.

2011 Goals

I make resolution after resolution, year after year.  In 2010 I only managed to keep 1.  Husband and I got caught up on our bills yesterday.  Yes, I said yesterday.  It was still 2010.  ;-)

This year it seems better to make some goals instead.

• Get the new pup, Pickles, to stop pulling me on our walks
• Trick the cat into accepting her new little brother pup
• Feel better about my own health
• Stop resenting my job.  Accept that it is necessary and move on
• Get a 2nd car so the husband won't have to ride the bus in the a.m. and I won't have spend 12 hours on the road everyday
• Try to increase my business so I can make a brave transition

There is more I would like to accomplish, but these are the ones that effect me the most right now that I am willing to share out loud.  Perhaps I will add to these goals once I make some headway.
