Re-Vamp

Happy Tuesday! I am working hard to muster positive energy as recently got a lot going on financially and it is stressful. As most of you know my dad passed in July and had nothing to help with his end of life needs, so it wiped out my savings a long with I had to get a loan to pay part of the cremation. Now my car needs major work ($1100.00 worth), and it is hard when so much stuff hits you at once. I cannot really complain though as it could be a lot worse and I am blessed with a good job and will make it, I know. But it sucks regardless on how life can be so expensive sometimes, and let me not get on a soap box about costs going up, but wages not.

SO we shall change over to better things. 

I am really trying to push through my energy to hit PUBLISH on my new website, there are so many things that I want it to be, that it is not yet. But I need to get it out there and make it work. Especially since I have been paying for hosting for almost a year now and it is hiding from everyone.

I also need to revamp my FB page (not my personal one), not sure I will keep it or not honestly, but it needs an update and some love if I do plan to keep it.

It is a lot to maintain when you have a demanding corporate 9-5'er, and I have definitely not been doing well on that end. I commend those who are able to make that work for them right now. It takes a lot of work, plus your YT videos and Patreon pages if you have them. Another avenues I have been thinking on, but how when I cannot even upkeep other stuff. I do not plan to keep Etsy going since they have upped their fees and my website will have a store option, that is way better for me, all in once place.

Anyway, quick update, happy Tuesday!

Have a blessed week, if you stopped by please say hi! :)

Tuesday Tiredness

hello all!

I am super tired for a Tuesday, makes me dread how the rest of the week may go. Sad updates my husband was laid off from his job last Friday, so it is draining, the stress of it all. Hopefully he will be back on his feet with a new job soon. Especially before he drives me too batty always being home.

Other than that poop, all is well. I am still working on my two baby quilts, getting those quilted and finished, one is almost there and I need to start the other one. I hope to finish those up this weekend and then can post some pics, even though man that quilting is rough. But practice is good for me and I will get better. :)

In the meantime here are some furry pictures of love!

Today I won...

Hello!!!! I always plan to blog WAY more than I ever do, like i write blogs in my head when I cannot sleep at night, but never actually then put them here, where I should. really at night when I cannot sleep I should just open the app up and blog, but I do not, I do try really hard to sleep but, yeh I digress!

Short Story, it is hard to blog sometimes! 

BUT today I won the chili cook off contest we had at work for our annual chili cook and Halloween contest. SERIOUSly surprised and impressed with myself as this is my first time ever making chili of any kind in my life! I made a creamy chicken chili recipe I found off pinterest and added some zingy flare as when I cook (as rare as that is), I do like to get experimental!

Won a gift card, so that was nice. :) 

Repurposed Frame - Inkling

For 2016 I purchased an Inkwell Press planner. If you wish for more information on that please visit their website at Inkwell Press or do a search on YouTube and you will find lots of reviews and videos. The planner world is huge and full of options that I will not get into on this post. :)

So what is this post about??? When you receive your planner you also get an inkling, which is a quote for you. Packed randomly, yet they always seem to get to who they need to. Mine is "follow your arrow". Below is a picture of how I currently am keeping it. Framed in a frame I got from the reuse place for under $2.00. Not 100 percent happy with it as I think the word dreams distracts from it, but happy enough with it until I find a different frame.
