Well we are way into moving at the moment and now I get to go over to the in-laws and organize and clean so we have a space. I am so excited for our adventure. I know that it will not be easy at times and somewhat annoying, but overall it is what we need to do to get where we want to be in life. G still doesn't know what he wants to do so we can only pray and I long for creating and sewing. Currently I am allowing myself to get a few pieces for our future room that are bright, cheery and colorful. I am preparing myself for a space that will carry me. We already bought the paint so I can't wait to get in on the walls! I picked a light blue..it is so calming and peaceful and Eve picked a light aquaish blue that is very tranquil. These colors remind me of the Hawaiian ocean...we will create our own. lol

So on Sunday I was trying to show my daughter Eve how to sew. She had purchased this design sewing fashion doll kit that she has been wanting forever! She finally earned it from her Mim (her grandma). She had been begging me to help her. Oh it was sooo frustrating trying to show her because she does not listen at all! I learned this from a very young age. Eve is very strong willed and does not know the meaning of patience. She gets that from her dad and the strong willed part from both of us so that's not so good sometimes. I tried to show her how to thread and she said that's easy! And then she tried it and said that's too hard mom! I said you just need to be patient and concentrate on what you are doing because it takes time. Then I started the threading for the embellishment she cut out for the base dress...she began with the opposite side that I started and she stated that my stitching was too small. Oh boy do you have a lot to learn! She of course got frustrated and mad and said that it wasn't working..I said no,you need to do it this way and showed her. I asked why do think it didn't work? How can you correct that? She began to get more mad and then it turned to tears..why isn't this working? Why is this so hard? You know how to sew why can't I? I said honey I learned and it took a while. She said, but mom..I am your daughter you sew and know how to make things and so should I. Yes she is right to a point, but it was heartbreaking trying to explain that we don't all have the same gifts or talents just because a parent has it doesn't mean you will or you wont. It takes time and a lot of practice figuring out what your nitch is. I think that in the end we will end up at a sewing class because she takes things from me too personally and she doesn't listen to me and that's ok! We all have to be aware of our limitations in parenting.

Transition

So my business will have to wait another month because we are MOVING! I am sooo excited for our new adventure.

Things in our lives are falling in our laps, God is GREAT and God is GOOD! I am so thankful for my faith and knowing how Heavenly Father loves us and what HE is wanting to bless us with.

I am going to be able to start debuting my accessories after we are all moved in and settled. I have already accumulated a lot of supplies, but there is much more to buy and soon I am getting a serger! Another exciting investment, nothing too fancy... something to learn on and get started with.

TA..TA.. For now!
