Seriously

Ok... so it's the whole coming up with a title of each post that is totally bogging my down. That's my latest excuse for not posting. Also, I have had some family issues going on that I thought I might write about, but then I don't want everything on this blog to seem on the negative side. So I chose not to write.

Moving on. Whew... Christmas is over. Unfortunatly some of those negative family issues encroached on it for me. The Pickle and the Chickadee had a great christmas even though they don't even realize that the best gift is sitting in the basement. I made a tacktical error and did not put the play kitchen together myself. D started in on it on Christmas eve and was up till 1:30 or so throwing fits over it. In the morning he decided he didn't want to give it to them so down to the basement it went. I'm not sure what his plan is now. It is pretty much put together except for the microwave door, which can be fixed with the power drill. I was frustrated.

The Pickle got a great wooden truck, trailer and digger that he spent the whole morning playing with. I feel a little guilty since when I looked under the tree there were really only 4 or so presents for him. I think of my Christmas's as a kid and the whole living room stuffed full, or so it seemed. Although we are trying to not be good little consumers, I do feel a bit of guilt over it. THe chickadee, of course had no idea what was up.

Now comes the time of year for contemplating goals for the new year. I have something swimming around in my mind. I would like to get a new camera and my goal is to fund it through selling my crafts. So, that means I need to ramp things up again, and get sewing. Put things on Etsy and see what I can accomplish. My hope is that I can us the majority of supplies I have in the basement and consider everything as profit, even though I purchased it at one time. We'll see how this goes.

What will next year hold?
