Working

So, I haven't blogged in a while.
I just don't have the desire really. I feel as though there is nothing to talk about. My days just aren't that full. Same ol' same ol' all the time.

I am working on making blankets for the craft fair coming up. It is coming too quickly and I have not accomplished nearly enough. I can only sew so fast. Every free hour I am at my machine, working on completing another blanket or burp cloth. I haven't even STARTED aprons. When I think about it, I get overwhelmed. I thought I would DEFINITELY be able to just pound them out. Turns out, that isn't really the case. I should have picked an easier thing to make! :)

Hopefully I sell them. I am very nervous about doing it. I have never done anything like this before. People keep telling me, you will do great, of course you will sell them. Well, I just don't know. I am trying to keep them good quality, but they just aren't as good as I would like them to be. I want all the edges to be exactly strait. I am having a really hard time with that. Are people going to want, mostly OK items? Probably not, they are going to want perfect items without character.

Hmm... my sewing teacher always used to say, never apologize for your work, we weren't made perfect. However, isn't that what people want? Something that is hand made but looks as if you bought it from the store? Or do people like the fact that every line isn't exactly strait? I know if it was me, I would want it to be strait. Do I need to sell them for less because they aren't AS good as I would like? Or do I just have a price and stick to it regardless? Or maybe if they mention the imperfection, to reduce the price? I don't know, all things I am thinking and worrying about.

It should be a fun experience though, right? Right?

Wedding Photography

So I took pictures at a wedding on Friday, they turned out pretty good. Some stuff is really blurry which is a bummer, but they are definately better! I took something like 1300 pictures! Teale only wants 50! I'm not exactly sure how i am going to dwindle them THAT much. Should be tricky.

I'm feeling better today, I know God has plans for my life. He has it all figured out. I am just along for the ride. I want to be ready for what He has for me.

Anyone getting married and wants a photographer for cheap? That's me! :) I will put pictures up later. C-Ya

Life can be rough sometimes

You know that feeling, when you are just bummed. Maybe there isn't a reason, or maybe there is but it's not REALLY big enough to be THAT bummed about? Well, that's how I feel. I am trying not to let things bother me. But they just do, there is no getting around it. It just sucks! If you're wondering what sucks, it's the fact that for four (too long) years I have been preparing to transfer to a state school to finish my degree well guess what? I don't get to go. Yup. I was told no.

Yes, don't count your chicks before they hatch, etc, etc, etc. Well, I thought I was a shoe-in. No doubt in my mind. Guess there should have been doubt. Yes God has a plan for it, yes He is preparing me for something else. I know that... I mean I know that, it's just really hard to see past this annoying and frustrating time. It is very difficult to see past what I want and what I had planned for my life and let God's plan wash over me.

I want to just be in tears all day, my heart is sad, I am discouraged and not exactly sure how or where my life is to go now. What I am supposed to do. I can still go to school. I can find another school. But will I just be trying to fix it? Where am I supposed to go? Rhetorical questions for you, but life questions for me. My heart is heavy and my life is headed in a different direction than I had thought for the past several years... hmm... life.
