Fake It Till You Make It

Hello There My Beautiful Peeps!!!

  It's been awhile since I have posted and I'm ashamed of myself for neglecting it this long!  The Holidays got crazy busy, and as happy and excited as I was that the shops seemed to be doing well, I got way overwhelmed.   So I put the shops in vacation mode and took a little vacation while Mr. N was taking his and while the Teenager was on Winter Break.  I needed it...we all needed it.  Things were starting to get hairy around here, and I was probably not the easiest person to live with (though I think the Teenager feels like that the majority of the time anyways ;).  So we watched movies, played games, made crafts that were silly, fun and non shop related, read books that had nothing to do with how to run a small business and more to do with zombies, assasins, and vampires, Oh My! and vegged...like hard core!  Anyways, before I knew it, New Years had passed and Mr. N went back to work and the Teenager was soon to follow...this meant it was time for me to discard the pajama pants, hoodies, and baggie tees, put on a pair of jeans and strap into a real bra so that I could join the land of the living...and this is where things get tricky.  It should have been easy, I was excited to get back into the swing of things, to start fresh with the new year!  However here it is February and this is my first blog post of the year, and all the big plans I had for the shops and blog just seem to have come to a stand still, like I'm just running in place.  So it's time to blow of the stink, break out the real bra, and just Fake It Till You Make It as my old dance teacher used to say!  If I have a motto that would be it, fake it till you make it,  act like you know what your doing, push yourself to go through the motions and eventually you won't have to "fake it" anymore!  So that's what I'm doing.  I'm starting with this blog post, I kept wanting to start back with an amazing post about all the wonderful things coming this year, and I wanted to have a bunch of stuff in place before I posted it...that just didn't' happen...but better done than perfect right?! (but more on that later)   

I really do have big plans this year!  I have some really exciting ideas I can't wait to share with everyone...I'm creating new items for both shops (some of which are starting to get added to the shop now, like some of the adorable pincushions in the pic below) trying out new things, like my very first Giveaway (and the prizes I have in mind are going to be quite fun...so make sure to stay tuned!) and hit you all with some tutorials, and freebies on the blog!

    Don't ya just love these pincushions and rings?!  Lots more colors being added by the day:)

Something you should know about me is how very much I love The Walking Dead, and in honor of it starting back up this Sunday (2/9/14) I am throwing a Giveaway...Walking Dead style!  Make sure you click on all those social media icons on the main blog page so you keep updated and don't miss out!!!

So now it's time for me to go get busy, I plan on holing up in the house this weekend and getting my craft on while I wait for Rick Grimes to come back into my life!  Hope you all have a lovely weekend and be safe with all this nasty weather out there!

Peace, Love and Procrastination:)
