Simply Crafting

So although I do make crafts for sale, I also make crafts for pleasure.  Right now I have a lot of projects on the go and hopefully within the next couple of weeks I will have completed most of them.  I am currently working on a knitted afghan for my daughter that is three quarters of the way finished, three scrapbooks (for all the kids) and a quilt.  So before I start any new projects, I plan to finish what I have started.  I have a really bad habit of starting projects and then not completing them.  But I have made a deal with myself and if I stick to the deal, then I know I will finish these projects.

The deal I made was I will not purchase any more crafting supplies until I get all these projects completed.  I think by making myself complete these projects while knowing I can’t make any more purchases until I do, I will finish them.  I’ll let you all know how I make out and if I in fact do stick to my deal.

Well I have to say that business has started to pick up!  So much so that I am getting orders and actually have people waiting for orders now!  As it is only me doing all the work, and realistically because of the low profit margin, it can only be me making it, the work is kind of going slow but through word of mouth, people are willing to wait!

So far I have made two sets of homemade jewelry sets, finished a doggie quilt, have another quilt on the go and also have a knitted afghan on the go as well.  So, with all this work ahead of me, Christmas up and coming as well as my other side job of paid blogging I am one busy momma!  But, as I am the type of person who cannot stand to just sit around and do nothing, this is awesome news for me.

And, as always, I will keep you all posted with my progress!
