Right now I am exhausted, watching the clock until it is a decent time to just crash in my bed. My shop has been hopping lately. I cannot begin to express how grateful I am for my faithful customers, support, and the Lord. I have been so busy this year and especially the last couple of weeks. I have a certain customer that has me do custom orders for her and in the last week she has ordered two toddler size patchwork blankets, a baby blanket, bib, burp cloth set, and a twin size patchwork blanket! I still have one toddler blanket and the twin size blanket to go! That doesn't even touch the other orders I have been doing. Since the beginning of January, I have had many times where as I watch my inbox fill with orders, I almost want to cry because of the all of the support and blessings! Although I am wearing out because I have been doing more lately, I am grateful and happy, so it is a good kind of exhausted.
One of my favorite things about doing custom stuff is that I get to do things I may not have thought of or made time for. I get to be creative and get paid to do it! This is the blanket that me and my customer designed for her friend's new baby. I was a little bit worried by the airplane fabric, but I love the way it turned out!
Tomorrow my trip to the post office will be very well worth the trip of about a mile. (A very nice thing about having an online business!) I will be taking 4 large orders and then I will begin working on the other two that I already have on my list.
I am still teaching piano lessons and have some pretty sweet kids that I teach. I teach at a friend's house in River Heights on Thursdays. When the kids told her husband that I will be at their house on my birthday, he brought out the menu (the ones that they only get to pick from for birthdays) and asked me what I wanted! So sweet!
