Happy New Year! I hope it is blessed!

Christmas time

You know, it doesn't really feel like Christmas time, I am not sure why, everything in my life has been SO busy, I am constantly sewing, I am nearly done with my Aunts apron. I already gave the Mommy and Me aprons to my aunt and cousin. They turned out really cute but I forgot to take pictures... lame. Oh well. I already ran out of business cards! 80 all gone, that's amazing to me! I have to get some more. I am really starting to get my name out there and I think that is really cool! It's now just a matter if after Christmas people are still going to want to buy stuff. Cause around Christmas time, people want lots. But it is really helping. All those Dr. bills are really mean and add up so fast! Every time I get one it's like a slap in the face. Fortunately we should only get one more and then be done. Thank goodness! So selling is really helping us financially especially when we have to spend so much money on other people! Besides our bills.

I really don't know how some people do it. How can people rationalize spending over $1000 on Christmas presents? I know a couple that spend that much money every Christmas and there are only 3 in their immediate family. But each sibling, parent and grandparent they spend $100 at least per person. That's just crazy! Especially because they are struggling financially. That just doesn't make sense at all in my mind. If you don't have money, can't you just say, we don't have money and not spend crazy amounts on people? It's weird to me, something about Christmas makes people do stupid things. I guess I was never raised that way. It wasn't about the presents. I mean $100 gosh, that's a lot of money to me!

We decorated our tree yesterday! :) It looks so pretty, it is an artificial tree that I got at a rummage sale for $5 last year! I'm a good shopper! :) It's a little bent, but who cares! Five Bucks! So, it's all decorated and pretty, I'm going to wrap presents tonight and I think that will help me feel Christmas-y. Even Christmas music doesn't make me feel festive this year. It's weird. Though I am excited about what I am getting. It's practical stuff, but things change as you get older. I don't want a doll, I want an ironing board! :) Ha ha, it's funny to me how all of a sudden I'm an adult and desire adult things. I'm OK with it though!

I'm happy.

The song in my head...

Felt good on my lips:

Said her name was a hand me down name
From the side of a family that long ago came
Over here on a boat from somewhere in Spain
Sounded to me just a little bit strange, I guess.
But I have to admit
It felt good on my lips.

She tipped the DJ to play her favorite song
A Spanish little number that was a rockin' on strong
She took my by the seat and said lets go and get it on
By the second chorus I was singing right along with it
I don’t know what it meant
But it felt good on my lips.

Oh oh oh I wanna go crazy
You can go crazy too
Oh oh oh I wanna go crazy
Wanna go crazy with you

Everybody sayin' whoaaa how sweet it is
(whoaa oooh)
Whoaaa, yeah it felt good on my lips
She ordered us a drink
It was a purple kind of pink
She said it’s got a shot of a little bit of everything
Mello yellow umbrella for a fella like me
It was just a bit mello for me to be seen with
But I took a sip
Yeah it felt good on my lips

Oh oh oh I wanna go crazy
You can go crazy too
Oh oh oh I wanna go crazy
Wanna go crazy with you

Everybody sayin whoaaa how sweet it is
(whoaa oooh)
Whoaaa oh, yeah it felt good on my lips
When the lights came on and they hollered last call
I was busy getting lost in her cherry lip gloss
In a little corner both i dont like no talk
She leaned in close and gave me one long and wet
A goodnight goodbye kiss
And It felt good on my lips

Whooaa oh how sweet it is
(whoaa oooh)
Whoaaaa oooooh (oooh)
Whooaa oh how sweet it is
(whoaa oooh)
Whoa ooooh, yeah it felt good on my lips

I'm no good at writting titles!

So, I did really pretty well at the craft fair on Sunday, I brought home almost $100 and lots of people want me to make them special orders! I am SO excited and I feel really good about it. It really boosted my confidence and I really had a good time, I think I will definitely do it next year!

I am feeling good, I did the dishes and went grocery shopping yesterday. I know those are little things to you, but they are big things for me, I want to do the things I used to do, I want to make dinner, I'm tired of eating pasta cause that's what Brad can make (He has been absolutely wonderful and I appreciate him making an effort and making us food when I just haven't felt up to it, I am so thankful for him!) and having stuff be everywhere and nothing being done. But it was all I could do to just get through the day, those weren't important. Now, it's like they are again... I care again! It's little victories I guess that make all the difference. I feel like I'm starting to change again. The sky isn't as gloomy anymore and I kinda wanna cry, it excites me and makes me happy that I am starting to be better.

It's the little things you take for granted, I cut up an apple this morning. :)

So, you know the song "It felt good on my lips" its a country song (not dirty) and it's stuck in my head! I only know the first verse too, so it is like a broken record, the same verse over and over and over!

I'm almost done with the aprons for my aunt and cousin, they turned out really good! I am excited to give them to them. Hopefully they like them! Anyway, Christmas is right around the corner! We haven't decorated anything... so sad! We are going to do it this week for sure!

I'm going to start a blog for Elizabunny Creations, stay tuned :)
Have a great day!

Dress Form

You know, no one knows what that is, it's one of those foam bodies you can display clothes and stuff on! :) I have had my status for like a week asking for one and the only comment I got was someone telling me it's too cold to wear a dress. Ha! People are silly. But I still need one!

I am almost finished making headbands and I LOVE how they turned out! I am so excited to hand out cards and get my stuff out there. I want to sell out, that is my goal, though I don't know how well it will work out. Yesterday a friend and I made a board with all the prices and stuff, it looks SO good! I am so excited! Brad's boss just bought a blanket and apron, a good start to selling I think! I am sewing like you wouldn't even believe, I am making aprons for my aunt and cousin, two blankets for my nieces and something for my mom and possibly my sister! I am wondering if after all this is done there is going to be a crash, you know like after finals or after planning a big party or wedding there is that post chaotic blues. I am really hoping that won't happen. We will see.

Oh, and update on me... I am well, it's still challenging sometimes but it's like every 4 days now. :) Haha, I feel like that's so silly, like for someone to say, I'm only sad every 4 days, wouldn't you think that's a lot? I guess perspective. From every day to every other day to every 4 days, I feel like that's pretty good! :) I am feeling better about myself, about my life and where I am. Having as goal is really good, even if it's just short term. It gives me something to look forward to and I think I needed that!
