I've been away for awhile, haven't I? I got very busy with summer plans and running a daycare and just got plum lazy. Part of it was just not knowing what to do next, or even if I should continue at all. Then I heard about Circle ME's fall festival and thought about getting a booth, then decided it was silly and I should just give up, doing custom orders only. Well, then The Hubs mentioned that he was curious what happened, why wasn't I really working this business as it's been the most successful thing I've pursued. I started remembering how I felt God really had his hand in getting me started and holding me steady in the very early stages, and then got another boost from Him.
First the family that I sit for came to agree on a mutual separation. That meant I lost money and gained time to work on my soakers. I also gained some energy and that peace of mind that can only come from Him. I really feel that God had been pushing me to be right where I was for awhile now, but being me, I stubbornly dug in my heels and refused to be pushed in the very direction I wanted to be going. Stupid Sara. It's funny how we can balk at the things we know we want, know we need and even have prayed for. . . or maybe it's only me? Probably!
Ok, well, now here's the deal. I've worked my butt off the last month going from no inventory to a decently stocked one. I've got some things printed off for the event in two days, and a few more to print after I get some more color ink. After the Fall Family Festival (Family Fall Festival? Dyslexia is irritating!) at Circle Me this Saturday I have an open house to kick of Sara's Sleepy Sheep Boutique House Parties on November 5th. Then there's a possible Christmas event that I may be attending if I jumped on it fast enough. So I'm getting booked up, something each month until the next year!
I hope to have some fabulous pacifier clips, called LambKlips, ready for the open house in November. Not to be a tease, but you'll never guess what they'll be upcycled from! Then we'll see where we go from there!
Well, I hope that I've captured your attention!
