What a day!!

Ok what is the correct way to begin a blog??.. Is there such a thing as a right way to blog?? Today has been a HECTIC day to say the least. We (Natasha and I) set out bright and early this morning to go buy supplies for our craft/business day. We bought fabric and all kinds of other goodies at Hobby Lobby, then ventured over to JoAnns where we stood in line FOREVER to get our elastic that was sold by the yard cut bc the lady in front of us had a zillion bolts of fabric to get cut...We then walked into and right back out of Hancock fabrics bc nothing looked appealing. I forgot to get a pattern that was on sale while we were at the first Hobby Lobby so what did we do? We stopped into another one and of course I got side tracked in the ribbon department (i make ribbon bows, but well get into that on a later post) and totally forgot to even look at patterns until I was in my car driving away! Thats my mind for ya... As we were driving back home my car started making a funny noise... and let me stop here to say that my husband and I just bought this car YESTERDAY! so to say I was NOT happy was an understatement! I popped the hood and Natasha informed me that it was the "serpentine" belt... didn't know she was the mechanic type :) .........

We finally made it home after we got somebody to change out the belt (a testimony to the fact that there are still nice people in the world) and began our crafts. We are beginning to build our inventory to sell online. Which is going to be an adventure all on its own! Tasha spent the evening setting up our website and this blog.. There were times during the night when I didn't think her computer was going to make it to see tomorrow! but I am happy to report that it is still alive :) And while she was slaving over the computer I was making bows. A few months back I challenged myself to find a hobby and began to teach myself (with the help of online tutorials and some questions to my mom and Sister Sibley-my Pastors wife) to make bows and sew. I am quite proud of myself for what I have accomplished but I am by no means done learning. I want to do BIG things!

Until next time...
