New Year, New Business

It is true that the last year has been the rockiest year of my life with the exception of the year I lost my dad. With my marriage rocking harder than ever and living in my mother's house filled to the brim with people, it has been overwhelming to say the least. In early December I decided to start the close of my business since I could not find a spot anywhere to craft in my mother's overflowing house filled with people, dogs, and stuff. I regret coming to that decision. For most of you that believe God has a plan for our lives, I decided to start talking to my estranged husband about Christmas and where we will spend it. In our conversation, I opened up about the termoil and hardship my kids and I were suffering and we decided it would be best to move back...just as house mates.

It has been such a blessing to be in my home again, even if it is not finished being renovated and possibly never will. I have hit my craft room running and am in the process of creating so many things that I have to take time to finish one project at a time. I am hoping in the very near future, I can aquire a camera since my daughter accidently broke mine and start taking pics of the creations I have been so happy to make and share with you.

I do not want to close my business but will close my website for sure. It is to hard and costly to keep up with but you will be able to find my patterns/epatterns, dollies, and more here and on the below list. My goals for this year are to have give aways on my blog, continue to create patterns/epatterns, list on a new site or two and continue to create new and different creations to tickle your fancy. Thanks so much for being a part of my life. Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas! I hope all of you have your wishes come true, love surrounding you, a home to be warm in and Gods love to hold on too! God bless and Merry Christmas!

Closing My Shop

After several weeks of consideration, I have decided to close my business. It was a very difficult decision but for me, it is the right one. I am pulled in to many different directions, can barely keep up with my school and kids so keeping my crafting business was just to hard. I am sadden for sure, this is a very hard thing for me to do, it is my passion, but for now, it is the right thing to do.

Please stop by my website to see all the specials I have going on. Many finished dolls have been drastically reduced and I will continue to cut prices as I near the holiday. Patterns/Epatterns are $6.00/$5.00 and under, some are free, my holiday gift to you.

Thank you for being so wonderful to me and so supportive. I will still blog and will try to continue with Lemon Poppy Seeds but below are listed the sites I am on that I'm dropping out of.

I'm Still Alive, Yippee

Hi Ladies, got lots of ya's asking if I'm still alive. It is true, I am. But I am so very busy with cosmetology school that I hardly have time to write. It is going great. I am very much enjoying school, although I don't enjoy the new music that they play and is out there, Its very graphic verbiage and sailor mouth, cuss words. That is hard to hear. But I love learning all the new ways to do hair and have some very nice friends.

Well, about my husband. I have not received child support. DHHR (social services) has dragged and dragged and dragged their feet until I finally put my foot down and called child support services. I am not even listed to receive any support because DHHR never filed even though they repeatedly assured me that they are "working on it"! Ha, Ha, Ha. RIIIIIIIIIIIIGHHHHT!

I saw my attorney (legal aid) and she and I are asking for well I can't tell you until my husband is served, in case he reads this but will keep you posted. Lets say if I do get what I"m asking for he will be really mad!!!!!! Bummer I say. Your kids come first, not getting even with your wife. I asked him to provide coats, pants, hoodys, and winter items since he won't pay support and my little cash from DHHR is barely keeping my car tanked up. None of that has happened. Wonder how the judge will feel about that, hum?!? So with fingers crossed and you gals a prayin' hopefully things will turn around for my kids and me, oh, lets not forget my Rottie and Triscuit (he's found on the left).

Has it been hard living here with 11 people, you bet, very hard! Some days I want to go home even with my husband just to have my kitchen again, and QUIET. There is no such thing here at this house, only in the wee hours of the morning when I get up for school. But God is good and he always comes through when we need him and he has. Thank you Lord.

I want to thank all of you for your prayers, support, kind words and always being an encouragement to me in the hardest time of my life and my kids. We are grateful to have you. Have a wonderful, creative day and may God bless you all.

Shops Reopening Soon

Hi everyone. I want everybody to know that I am not closing my shops down. I am having some financial troubles and will be reopening them as soon as I can. Please pray for me and my family. It is very hard right now and sometimes almost unbearable. But God is good. Please forgive me for any inconvenience this may cause.
