2018!

I have been looking forward to January for some time.  

The last couple of years have been hard on my little family, so 2018 being here is an opportunity to shake off the last couple of years and start anew.  I always thought looking forward to New Year’s was silly, because whatever resolution(s) you want to start, why not just make it when and where you stand? Why wait until January? But sometimes there are years that you’re just glad are over.  It wasn’t all bad — in fact, some absolutely incredible things happened, and I’ve learned so much.  I wouldn’t wish the year away for the world.  

I am, however, very tired.  Not only have I been trying to get Miss Winnie (MW) off the ground, but I have also been managing my mom’s fabric store, sitting on the board of my band society, been in charge of membership for said band, have had two callings (volunteer positions) at my church, and been mother to my very active boys (piano, parkour, football, etc) while my husband is out of town.  

My mother has sold her store, and her last day open was December 26th. Even though I’ve been looking forward to the store changing hands, once I saw the empty shelves, it hit me that I no longer had a fabric store at my disposal, and the era of my mom having The Fabric Addict store was over. So I have mixed emotions!

Regardless of my mixed emotions, I am excited to have the time to focus on MW, get my house organized and get healthy.  You’re going to be seeing a lot more me and MW!  With my sister, LC, at my side, we also want to work on accessories.  Patterns and selling the finished products.  A few of the things we have on our mind are sassy cross-stitch patterns, embroidery (and eventually embroidery designs), bow ties, and bags/purses/wallets.

We have a lot of work to do, and only time will tell where the path will lead, but I am excited to explore this path and soak in anything and everything there is to learn along the way!
