Happy New Year!

A little late, yes I know. I rarely ever make new years resolutions, partly because I know I will not keep up. But since this is the new year, I'll make making new years resolution my number 1 resolution. Here's my list:

1) Make some New Year's resolutions
2) Blog more
3) Make my business one of my top priorities.
To go with this one, there are sub-categories
a) Network!
b) Crochet!! Or just come up with more ideas of what to crochet
c) Take more pictures
d) Get off my lazy a$$!
4) Exercise more, 3-4 times a week. No excuses!
5) Be a better me

I think the hardest one is exercising more, haven't really gone to the gym for a month due to me not to have the right shoes. My shoes were a half size too small and made everything hurt. Thanks to being pregnant my shoe collection has to be replaced. Good, right? Not really, I'm very picky about the way shoes look on my feet. Just wonder if your feet get bigger with every pregnancy...
Number 5 should be on everyone's list. Taking time to re-evaluate yourself is a good thing in my book. One thing I've been focusing on eliminating is my yelling. I'm a yeller and I absolutely hate it. I've noticed my mom and sister do it, is it an Asian thing? Why can't we have normal banter like civilized families? I'm cringing at just the thought of my sister screeching while we are on the phone. Really, every time we talk. I refuse to call her now.
I hope everyone had a fun and safe New Year's!!

Checkin' In

Happy Wednesday! Just checking in. I've been working on a couple of special orders and also finishing an afghan I started a very long time ago. I've been so busy with orders and Mally that I haven't gone to Michaels or Joanns for so long, I didn't notice that Martha Stewart has a line of yarn out. I saw the line on LionBrand.com and they're amazing! Very affordable for the material, can't wait to get my hands on them.
Also, I've been trying to figure out the hubs' new phone. I just want to play Bedazzled! Why can't all phones be easy to figure out like the iPhone?
Someone is spitting out his water all over himself so until next time!

Sneak Peek

 

SOS!

Hi all! I'm still here, toiling away at this 'blog'. I've been working on a different format and trying to do fancy things but they are just not working for me! Maybe I should start over with a clean, fresh layout. Things to think about.

I've also created a facebook page and twitter. Which will be up once I figure out how to put them on here...
So, good things are coming, I promise!

Toddler Tuesday

Hi! Been working on more earrings! I really need to time myself because these darn things are taking forever.
In more fun news, we took our little man to an ECFE class. ECFE stands for early childhood family education and classes start from birth to preschool. I've always intended to go since he was born but things got busy. So now that we've got mornings free, I signed us for a 9am toddler class. I loved it! Except for the early morning wakeup, I loved it. LM is the oldest and I'm afraid he's a ball bully. He's had a love for balls for the longest time, bouncy balls, basketballs, baseballs, whatever he loves them. It doesn't even have to be an actual ball, it could be a picture of a circle and you hear, "BALL! BALL!" Yeah, he was snatching balls out of everyone's hands and I felt awful because I didn't want people to think anything negative about him being a ball stealer. Is that a first time parent feeling?
For 30 minutes the parents for together to get to know each other and discuss what we'd want to learn in this class. For the getting to know each other part, we asked each other about what our hobbies are. Kind of embarrassing but my hobby turned out to a plug for my etsy store. My face probably turned beet red. One thing you have to know about me, I am very shy. Almost painstakingly awkward shy. Meeting new people is hard and it's something I'm trying to overcome. Hopefully this class and also writing this blog will help.

Slack Off

I don't what it is but I can start any project for things I don't really need to make. But when it comes to things I need to get started, nope not going to happen. My etsy shop is begging to be opened, I just find it so boring to make these dang darn earrings! Facebook and its addicting games are to blame! Really, did we need Sims Social?
