I justify it by promoting when I am online. I am in the process of a promotion on my facebook page now. It is going well, but I should have added more requirements...I will be doing that on my next giveaway that I will start on Friday, and host from my blog. Not sure of what I am going to be giving away yet, so if you have any suggestions of things from my shop, you can leave it in the comments below. I am very open to input.
On motherhood, gosh, sometimes I feel like such a failure. I mean, I know I try my best, but I of course always fall short. The hardest part of motherhood I believe is always being a good example to my children. They watch everything I do, how I eat, my habits and attitudes..I always need to check myself because I really don't feel like I can do much if my child is acting out, and I am seeing myself in that particular behavior. The only thing I can do is of course tell them they are wrong, and then check myself and work on it. Like all moms, I want my children to be everything that they can be.
Back to my shop again, I have been able to get out some more things in between sending out orders from a big rush to my shop last week. Here are some new things that I listed. Please tell me what you think of them. The picture in the yellow skirt I took myself with a continuous timer, so I am not really sure about them. Also, I was going to wear a really nice brown ruffle shrug over the top, but I couldn't find it so I wore a short hoodie instead. Not sure that works so much either, but I think it gives it maybe an edgier (or dirtier ) look..
I also listed a crochet frog hat.
What are your thoughts on the new listings, and how about the edgie, grungy hoodie? Does it work or should I redo those pics?
i love it! keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteThanks- you must know I needed to hear that about now!
ReplyDeleteYour frog hat is adorable! And I think the hoodie looks great with the skirt. The colors all just scream fall, so they work well together.
ReplyDeleteAnd don't feel like you're alone, every small business owner feels overwhelmed sometimes! I'm a workaholic and have a hard time remembering to spending time with my family and friends!
That frog had is so cute! Love the whole outfit, that skirt is great.
ReplyDeleteEdi's right, don't feel like you're alone! I too can get wrapped up in working and other parts of my life become neglected. There's always so much to keep up on and it's very time consuming. I have to remember to set time aside.
I like the brown hoodie with the skirt and I think the pictures are all great. I also love the froggie hoodie... so I guess I have no suggestions! I can relate to your computer issues. I recently saw a graphic about how much productivity is lost to social media and it was definitely sobering. I try to "media fast" from about 5pm every day until the next morning. I think it actually helps me sleep better.
ReplyDeleteOh I think the hoodie looks perfect with the skirt. Very stylie indeed! Great job on the frog hat too.
ReplyDeleteChin up - you are doing a great job!
Popping over from the EBT...
Love your work! I wish I had mad sewing and crocheting skills...I just know the basic sewing of hemming pants and curtains ;-)

ReplyDeleteThe encouragment means a lot to me also. I think we all could benefit from a large group of encouraging people in our lives. You guys are the BEST
