Bored'em

O, boredem please go away!
I hate the funky feeling you give me in my chest, the feeling of emptiness and loneliness!
O how I hate you boredem!
I wish I was on a vacation far far away from you, somewere like Ireland or even a nice weekend trip to the next big city for some fun in the sun at a waterpark,
O boredem, how I wish I was far far away from you.
Its to hot to go outside, its to gloomy to stay inside!
The thought of no fireworks on the 4th of July makes you swell in my chest and I really really dont like it.
Knowing that everyone else is/is going to have a great time makes me hate you even more.
BOREDEM why wont you just go the heck away already.
You make a minute feel like dayz and dayz..
I dont think I can stand much more of you boredem.
You stir up my wonderlust and make me want to travel to distant lands to see great sights, laugh all day and talk about all the great things I seen for wks after I get back.
Yes Boredem you make me have mini whine sessions, and annoy my hubby who just doesnt understand my hate of boredem, because he is happiest when he can sit in the house and do nothing but sleep all day!
So boredem, Since you instist on invading my chest with your funky feelings of boredem and loneliness I shall make you listen to my rants and raves til you decide to leave me alone!!!
I rarely see you boredem and Im ready to have you gone gone to the wind!
I can normally send you way by sticking my head deep into a sewing project or cleaning, but you just make everything seem so much more boring.....

OK, Im done with my rant now... I think.... So Im off to find an intrigueing sewing project that will keep me busy til the wee hours of the morning, Maybe then I will be to tired for boredem to sneak his ugly little head into my chest. Im sure many of you feel this way from time to time, especially my stay at home moms. Since we spend such a large about of time in the home doing the same things over and over again.

I will be glad when my mom gets back from vacation, She gives me something to do and someone to talk to besides my 4yr old diva and my hibernating hubby.

Thanks for listening to my pity party!

To Craft for FUN or PROFIT?, that is the Question!!

Ok,
 So by now you all know that I have been crafting for about 4yrs now and 3 of that I have been doing it as a means to make some money, since Im a stay at home mome and we are on a budget my crafting created a way for me to make some FUN money. But I soon found that I actually wasnt making a profit at all, I was actually losing money by the time I purchased everything I needed to make whatever it was I was making.
And the fun quickly faded, as I was always haveing to do what someone else wanted and I never had time to make my own daughter cute outfits and other fun stuff.

I have some small bills now, that I would have to figure out how to pay if I choose to quit sewing/crafting for profit. But my daughter would finally have the cute clothes and other items I make again, and no more spending $$$ on clothes that dont really fit her well.(which is why I started sewing in the first place)

I have had my shop shut down for about a month now... and to be honest I havent even missed the extra $ yet.  Instead I have been making Childrens craft kits and going to craft sales and festivals and selling them there...NOT going so well, I might add!!! Im quite disappointed in that.
But the biggest problem is craft/sewing have lost its "FUN" factor for me.

Well , I guess writing this  post I realize that I already know the answer to my question,
NO MORE CRAFTING FOR PROFIT,only every once in a great while!

So now I guess Im off to figure out another way of making me so  moneys..Plus I enrolled Destiny in school last Thursday and she will be going to school so I will have time to get a job now!!

If you know of any stay at home job opportunities please let me know!!
