Okay wow...so almost 2 months to catch up on...I got this..
So we've been pretty active this summer, which is out of character for us honestly. We were doing therapy for 2 kids for a while but I stopped taking my daughter because she wasn't listening to this therapist either, and my son had to stop going because of insurance issues. My Mr. changed jobs again in May, and it looked like things would be okay, but we recently found out it's not..so I am having to put more of my time and energy into actually making items and trying to get them sold.
Plus, since that isn't a guaranteed money maker, I've been doing more transcription and captioning, just to get a little extra money each week.
The kids have been reading a lot. We are trying to cut down on electricity, so they read and play games together a lot more, which I really love, until they start fighting haha.
I am also trying to plan to send my oldest to Europe for University next year. That is starting to sound like an impossibility, but I really want this for him and he has always been such a good kid...he really deserves it. So I am going to do my best to send him, even if I have to sell a kidney!
I had started a partnership with a lady for her subscription box, but things had gone south, and she decided to dissolve the box due to ridiculous customers. She doesn't like to deal with people, and these people were absolutely awful so I really don't blame her. I can't even believe what they were saying to her in the emails...believe me it was unthinkable..I would never say such things to anyone.
So, since then I have started redesigning my Etsy shop a little bit, and I have a large market show in September that I'll be working on stock for as well. If I can find enough time to sew/make instead of typing...it's a hard choice.
I guess that's the most exciting bits, I hope all of you are doing well. I hope someone still stops by here :)
Remember, even when things are tough, and you can't imagine them changing and getting better, they will...eventually, but only if you stick it out, keep going, keep breathing...I know I will. Tomorrow needs you, too!!

New machine fun
I have been using a Brother HE1 embroidery machine for a while and I thought I loved it. I never had a real problem with it and if anything did start acting wonky I could get in there and fix it myself. It just had such a small embroidery area, being only a 4x4 machine. I realized quickly that I was going to need a bigger machine.
After a bunch of thought and researching and searching and more searching...I finally decided I loved the Viking Ruby machine. Well, that, as almost everything else in my life, was way too expensive of a machine for my budget! Used ones run close to $1500 on the cheap! Mostly they are around $2k~ yea, a lot..so I started looking around for more affordable options.
Everyone screams PE770! I scream UGH! Only because it only does a 5x7 hoop..that's only 1 size up from my tiny 4x4..I wanted BIG!!
I ended up going with a used, BabyLock Ellegante. It is definitely my budget machine, but it does go up to 7x12 I believe or 7x14? one of those...which is pretty nice and big enough for some great designs from my most favorite designer, String Theory Fabric Art. You should totally check out her site, even if you don't stitch, you will enjoy just seeing all the amazing things she has on there. She is amazing and she makes gorgeous designs, but sometimes they need to be in the bigger sizes to get them to really stitch well enough to showcase her talents. I think the most popular, or most well known design of hers are her twists on Van Gogh's Starry Night. She has a Hogwarts starry night, star wars starry night, and Tardis starry night I believe. Now they take hours to stitch out on the machine, and have a bazillion jump stitches to clip by hand but they are so beautiful. Now I can get the bigger designs and stitch them comfortably and really do her designs justice.
Ok, that's all I have for today, I hope you are all doing well, staying healthy, and checking in on all your loved ones. Live today, and just keep going!!

Would you kindly subscribe to my YouTube channel...pretty please??
Ok, so I have this YouTube channel and I really want to make it awesome with weekly videos and stuff, but I'm finding myself discouraged as it is still new and I only have 3 subbys. None are my spouse or kids though so that's something, haha.
I am working on videos now, and will be posting another Grove unboxing today, plus I'll be posting my first how to knit video this weekend. In my line up will be a review of my amazing vintage Husqvarna Viking 6460 Cam sewing machine, I'll be reviewing a singer em200, a babylock ellegante, and a brother innovis 4000d embroidery machine, showing you how I make bags in the hoop on the different machines, leather crafting, sewing leather bags and accessories, getting ready for a vendor show and so much more craft stuff!
My son will be making some appearances talking about his Tourettes and how he feels like it affects his ability to craft, along with some cool projects he will be doing.
I am always open to suggestions as well, so if you are a subscriber please leave a comment somewhere and let me know what video you'd like to see! Leave a comment here, I'll definitely see it!
I want to thank any and all of you who stop by to read this blog, and even if you don't jump over to YouTube, I still appreciate you so much! It is so encouraging just to see people reading my little quips of life here. I know in years I will be glad to have made this and see what I did and what my family was doing. So thank you for being here and sharing my life...I love you guys for that <3
Remember to give those hugs, say those I love you's, and check in with those people you don't think needing checked in on, as well as the others that do...keep going, keep breathing, I think you rock socks! I'll be back soon. Thank you...every one of you...even if it is just one of you :) <3

Wow...lots of stuff happening!
Hey there! I have been working really hard on the shop and the house and the family thing and feel like I've neglected my blog, so I'm going to try and get caught up.
First, well most recently, I discovered Booksgiving... Yea BOOKS GIVING!! It is just as glorious as it sounds I promise. So, you get to send random books to random strangers that you probably don't even know! Because of the magic that is Amazon Wish Lists, and The Bloggess, you can jump in and look at other peoples wish lists and just send them a book..how amazing is that?? Yea that's what I said too.
So this was the 4th year apparently and that made me feel really sad inside because like I said ... books... yea... BUT then I was happy because I discovered it in time to send a book to a child <3 I am a super selfish person, because that made me feel so good inside...and I really love that...I don't feel good very often..so yea...
Plus, as a bonus, my list of books for me and my littles were purchased by some other amazing person!! I added the list because my kids really love books and we have perpetual wish lists on amazon just for their books...so that if I have extra money or if they have earned a reward or some other alignment of the planets happens, I can just jump on and order one and it comes and they are surprised and I absolutely love the look on their faces when they see a new book...it just brings tears to my eyes...and although most things do make me cry, I am pretty sure this is one of my favorite things that makes me cry! hahaha
Another of my crazy ideas I had was to add leatherwork to my shop..well add it to my items, but I will likely make a new shop for the leather items.
I get a lot of requests for leather bags or leather trimmed items so I went and bought leather and some tools and watched YouTube of course because that is where we learn stuff now, haha, and thought oh yea I could do that!! That looks awesome and adding leather to my bags somehow would be amazing!! Oh man people will love that.
Well...yea, that is definitely something I will need to really work on..I love the items I've made, but when I bought the leather, the guy didn't split it like I expected. So I can't use it for bags, or trim on my items.
It's like 13 oz leather (which is really thick and stiff) and I wanted it split in half basically, and he just kind of shaved the back a little bit...not really making it any thinner to work with..I of course bought it anyhow because that's just what I did..generally I am one of those people that will refuse something if I'm paying for a service and they don't do it properly. But, in this case I just didn't...I felt like I must have communicated what I wanted poorly... maybe...but either way I didn't feel like it was worth keeping the $5 splitting charge out of that businesses account. It's not like I can't use the leather..I just have to learn how to make things with the heavy leather..I love learning new stuff so that's fine.
I have been working really hard on my YouTube channel as well..I never thought about how much planning and effort goes into those videos. I really respect these people that put up multiple videos...multiple quality content videos weekly...I haven't even started to edit and compile content..I just turn on the camera and do the video and upload it..it's just me, no filter, no retakes...just me as I am giving some info on whatever I happen to come up with that day.
My last video is an unboxing of my Grove Collaborative box. You know the ads you see everywhere saying "Hey Free Mrs Meyers Cleaning Supplies!!" yea, I went and investigated cause I like free and I like cleaning...although I've never really thought oh I love Mrs Meyers haha I figured I'd check it out because "free" doesn't always mean "free" or worth it.
I thought it was an ok deal though. I only had to spend $20 to get the batch of free goodies, and honestly dropping a $20 can easily happen if I'm online too long or walk out my door..I grabbed a few things I knew I like and a few things to try. If I wanted to spend $35 I think it was, I could've gotten another free item, but I was good at $20.
If you're interested in seeing that unboxing, it is up on my channel now, you can see it here :)
I have also been working on digitizing some of my own designs. I am not really good at that yet. I am not an amazing artist so I guess that makes sense hahaha
Oh, also, I've been diligently working on new curriculum research...I tend to run my school year all year instead of giving the kids a 3 month break. They do get a couple weeks in January/February just because it is usually my most depressed months and I find it extra difficult to get things ready for them every single day. I take the time to research new and fun curriculum options that will help them with whatever they are struggling with as well as try to find things that will be fun as rewards/enriching fun..if that makes sense. I just don't want them to ever be doing something that isn't helping them grow is some manner.
This year I am excited about a drawing program and some digital art drawing pads. I will post about them when we get them and probably do some videos for YouTube as well.
I am planning some how to videos for crochet, knitting and tunisian crochet. Also, I have a couple in the hoop projects for the embroidery machine, although I may put those off until my new machine gets here. The in the hoop projects make me crazy on the 4x4.
Through all of this I am noticing that I am actually going through a really depressive dip. I have been wanting to eat all kinds of breads/chocolates...I haven't wanted those since I was pregnant and I'm concerned it will just have me gaining back the 50lbs. I lost. So since I am able to see it I am hoping to be able to curb it and hopefully avoid it..but I guess I will see where we end up in Spring...if it ever comes. The other day I had to run the air conditioning to keep it at a cool 70 in the house, and yesterday and today I have the heat set at 64 just to keep it not freezing in here...I thought I was indecisive..mother nature has me beat by a mile!
Ok that's all I have for now, thanks for reading, remember if you're having a tough time, it will pass, just keep breathing, just keep going, even when you don't think you can...and don't forget to check in on your loved ones..let them know how you're doing and let them know you love them...every day <3 I will.

Working up new designs...finally!
I embroider. I love to sew and embroider. Now I've even started to really enjoy digitizing my own designs. I decided to start trying to digitize because my kids love lots of really obscure fandoms that I can't always find designs for to purchase. I would love to say I had to start digitizing because of demand in my Etsy shop but it isn't haha
I have been trying to make time to sit and digitize designs for some time now, since summertime! I have just always got so much happening it seems. It's like I have to leave the house every single day for some nonsense reason or another. Then I'll be out for hours, even if I just have to run to Kroger or Target..or Thor forbid the W place...My mom works there back home, and I still can't stand to go there. I only go when I have absolutely no other option.
I have 2 designs in my shop that sell...a Harry Potter bag and a Dungeons & Dragons bag with a clever Chaotic Stupid alignment saying. I love them but I have other bags that I love in the shop, that just don't sell. I have a list of things I should try to put in the shop to push things other than the 2 popular designs, but I am honestly thankful anything is selling! My hubby says he's so proud of me, and tries to make me see that I am really good at this...my inner me tells me he's just saying it because he has to, and I'm just lucky it was xmas time, other wise nothing would sell and I'll be seeing the bad reviews pouring in after the bags people bought are given as gifts....but I'll try to ignore the me and listen to hubby for now :)
I have started digitizing emblems from books we love called Seven Deadly Sins. It's on Netflix right now, but we have loved it since we read the books. My oldest said he wants to get the sin emblems as his first tattoos...I guess I'm glad he's planning ahead..right?
I'm not even sure what I will do with the designs when I get them right...maybe I'll just make patches for the kids or just embroider them onto their bags..who knows.
Otherwise, for most items that I plan to sell, I have a few digitizers I absolutely love to buy my designs from, because they are amazing talents and everything I get from them stitches beautifully every time, so it really isn't worth the effort of doing it myself, when I can throw a few dollars in their account and have a perfect design ready to stitch..definitely saves me hours and is worth every penny!

A little fun
So I had some requests come in so I've been working on bags galore! So of course I should have expected (not should of expected; that drives me mad when I see it on social media!) that my thread would be running low...and it was definitely low...so I had a little game of thread chicken and posted it up to my fetal YouTube channel...literally my first post...I love YouTube and I have wanted to start uploading for years!
My son has a channel and I whole heartedly encourage and support him but I've never been able to get anything up because I get too nitpicky and decide no video is ever good enough.
So this time I just did it! No thinking, no screening or editing...trust me you'll know I'm not faking if you check out the video haha
Hopefully, it will grab a couple views and it will get me rolling with that as well. It's supposed to be tutorials for knitting and sewing/embroidery, so I guess we will see how it goes!
If you wanna come along for the ride ( be sure to keep your hands in at all times, it may be a bit bumpy, unpredictable, and more than slightly chaotic) please check out my channel here.
If you like video games and want to check out my son's channel you can do that here.
He's 16, has Tourrettes and is thoroughly committed to his channel, so any views/likes/subs really get him totally chuffed!!

My favorite new project....
I thoroughly enjoy embroidery, and my daughter enjoys reading so after finding some cool but not fitting designs online, we decided she could just pick some of my fun printed vinyl for her book mark....of course!
It was super easy, even if you don't have an embroidery machine!! I can put up instructions if anyone is interested, leave a comment below!!
I do tend to overthink things sometimes, it's true...
So we made this super simple super basic plain square template for the machine and stitched it up. She's happy, so I'm happy...here's how it looks!

What were you searching for?
Welcome!! You have stumbled upon my little corner of the interwebs where I will be sharing fun projects, sales for my shop, pattern tutorials and just general stuff from my life.
I am a wife to 1 gingerbeard man and mom and teacher to 7 little pifflesniffs. We have 10 cats, that I actually allow in the house, there are about 8 more that linger in the neighborhood. I have snagged most of them and spayed/neutered them so hopefully that number doesn't increase. I'm sure you will be introduced to our brood as time goes on, the kids and the cats love to get in on the picture taking. I also experience severe anxiety and sometimes fall into deep dark pits of depression. I do not have a huge circle of friends in real life, but I honestly don't think I have enough time in the day to entertain anymore people than I already have...so that's ok too.
I hope to share projects, happy little accidents of creating and a passion for creating with anyone who stops by. I also hope that if you become a reader here, when I post about depression/anxiety issues, you will become more aware of what some people may be experiencing, or if you also deal with these issues, maybe I will share something helpful for you to use to manage your own bouts more easily.
We are a pretty eccentric family...I think...I think we are eccentric by 1990 standards probably...maybe there are lots of families like ours today. I am just not aware of them. I do know we are definitely not the norm here in our area.
I am a seamstress at heart, and truly enjoy sewing and creating with fabric and fibers. I have a little Etsy shop, just like every other stay at home mom in the world. I am just a bit of a late bloomer. I only opened it about a year ago.
I hope to give everyone that stops by a little insight and inspiration to create something amazing!
