Jobs like the one I have ebb and flow. Some months, Iโm turning away clients and wishing I had employees. Other months, Iโm grabbing at scraps and jumping on any potential client to get as many bookings as I can. In the beginning of a slow time, I tend to be excited. I spend timeContinue reading “Busy Work”

Baby Scrapbook
Back in spring, I found out that my best friend of 21 years is pregnant. After the shock wore off, I realized I had to do something huge for her. Wellโฆ not huge; meaningful. I thought about making a baby blanket like I have for a lot of my friendsโ kids. But knowing her family,Continue reading “Baby Scrapbook”
Annual Holiday Posters
This week, Jarod and I have spent a lot of time in the car working with a client over an hour away. We were chatting about what to do one night when we got home and I gave a few options: 1) hop in the craft room and create something, 2) game night, 3) anContinue reading “Annual Holiday Posters”
Homemade Syrup
If you follow my blog, youโll see that I took a little break. Work got really busy (thank goodness) and I kept forgetting to take time and craftโฆ or take pictures and write about it.

Monday Motivational Meeting
When I was in college, I was lucky to meet a lot of wonderful people. I didnโt meet anyone I truly connected with until the last couple of years when we were delving more into the details of engineering and spending a lot of time in the labs. As we realized our โfunโ time wasContinue reading “Monday Motivational Meeting”
Birthday Celebrations!
When my boyfriend and I first started talking, he told me he has never had anyone make a big deal about his birthday. He is used to planning everything himself and hasnโt ever been pamperedโฆ so my goal this year is to change that. I picked 7 gifts that I knew he would like (5Continue reading “Birthday Celebrations!”
Non-billable Hours
I was thinking long and hard about what I would post this week. I knew it would be really full with clients. On a normal week, I try to see clients 3-4 days out of the week. It doesnโt seem like a lot, especially based off of a normal work day โ but it is.Continue reading “Non-billable Hours”
Tub Tray
If you read Tuesdayโs post, youโll know that most of my past two weekends were taken up with tearing apart and putting down a new deck. I was expecting to take a break from crafting and catch up on sleep and reading around work this weekโฆ but Jarod had different ideas. On Monday, we bothContinue reading “Tub Tray”
