I don't know why but my mind is in 1000 different places. I can't seem to focus on work right now, so I decided to take a little break and blog......just write everything that is running through my mind at the current moment.
First off.....what is my life plan? I'm happily married with a wonderful daughter........ the only thing missing is my career goal. I'm 27 years old and I still don't know what I want to do. Well, I know what I want to do.......open my own children's boutique, but I don't even know where to begin. You've got to have money to start your own business, and money is tight around our house right now. I know that we could get a loan, but what if the business doesn't work? It would just be alot of money down the drain. I know that with starting your own business you have to take some risks, but it scares me to think that we could use money for other things, and what if the business doesn't do as well as I think it would. My mind is going 100 miles a minute right now. Sorry for the rambling. Like I said. I'm just writing what is going through my head at the moment.
My friend Holly is going to teach me how to sew. I'm hoping to learn how to make crib bedding and children's bedding and accesories. I know, I know......I'm laughing at the idea of me being a domestic housewife too, but I REALLY want to learn how to do things like that. Holly is so crafty. Hopefully she can teach me a thing or two. And then I can make all of the bedding myself. Like I said........I'm just dreaming right now.
I haven't been sleeping well lately either. I went to the doctor a couple of weeks ago for a regular female physical. fun fun ;( I have been having these terrible night sweats. I mean so bad that the sheets are soaking wet......it's really nasty. Poor Britt gets to sleep with me. He won't even touch me when I break out in these sweats. And the funny thing is that it's only my legs that sweat. Weird! I just knew that something was seriously wrong with me. I am way too young to be going through the life change. She had some tests run, and I had been stressing about how the results were going to turn out. I got the results in the mail a few days ago, and everything came back normal. Whewww! I'm not a hypochondriac, but I worry constantly about having some sort of horrible disease. It's crazy.....I know. I guess it stems from my biggest fear being death.....Seriously! I know that I'll be in a much better place, but I can't get past the thought of not being able to see Ashlyn grow up.
I've just had so much on my mind lately. I needed to get some of it out. This is only part of what's been running through my head. Maybe I'll get on here a little later and finish. I better get back to work for now.

Mindy, I know just how you feel. I actually have a pretty good suggestion for you. After you begin making your own bedding and find things that you want to sell, you should open up an ebay boutique/store. That way, you don't have the worry and stress of a major loan and the overhead of a store front. My friend Heather has a very successful mineral make-up business that began with e-bay and they now have a website. They do very well and began with very little invested. She works on average 15-20 hours a week and makes more than enough to pay the bills. Even if you started out only making a small profit from bedding, you would be better off than putting money into a business. It's so cheap and easy to sell on ebay, you really can't lose. Just a thought to get your dreams going. You and my mom should really get together- she made a pillow and stool for Grayson and she's working on getting her own sewing machine to go even further than the pillows and slipcovers she's designing. Her dream is to make not only children's bedding, but curtains and slipcovers too.
Great Idea Ashley!! I love the ebay idea for you Mindy!! And, learning to sew is a great First step in the right direction!!
GIRL! So excited for you...REALLY!
I think this is a great dream! Dream big!!
I think that learning to sew is an awesome idea! YOU are going to do great at this!! I agree with EBAY!
My suggestion would do some samples for people at a little above cost. That way you can have examples to show, and experience, and no expense loss. Yes, little profit starting however, in turn...the time and talent from that will be so beneficial! PROMISE! When I started Photograhy I think I worked for 6 months at cost! Swear! Those 6 months were the best lessons for me!! I learned more then, then ever before!! YOU can do it! We are behind you 100%! DREAM it girl!
