getting started


Creating this blog is my big step into the "cyber-world".... I am excited to think out loud and hopefully get response from others who are interested in a creative life.
Today my list contains getting advertising placed for my alterations business. I need to make money to support my "habits" and hemming, mending, sewing, putting on military patches, you name it, brings in a gentle but steady stream of "coke and hair-ribbon money" as my friend, Mary, calls it. When I finish that, I will go back to working on making curtains for my dining room and living room. I made curtains for the kitchen a couple days ago. My goal has been to use only what I have in my fabric stash and so far, so good! Our house is old military base housing and so is pretty bland. I have decided to think outside the box for all my decor...not willing to settle for going to the store to find accessories, etc.

  1. HI, Karen,
    I love to read blogs and I will enjoy yours. Maybe I can be your first follower. I have a blog too. Jancalligrapher.blogspot.com. An Etsy store
    and just since last night, a website: Jandesigns.net. The web needs more work but my neighbor Donna is a wonder so we are working on it.
    Miss you. Still thinking about your journal page.

  2. Good job, Karyn! I will bookmark you in my blogs to read. I am slightly addicted to craft women blogs. I tried writing my own blog once - realized I lead a boring life (which is just fine with me). Take care. Cami

please let me know what you think of this post

Come Play with me!

Life is ART--there is beauty everywhere that needs to be looked at and appreciated. Yeah, there is plenty of bad stuff in the world, but God tells us to think on whatever is pure, lovely and of good report (Philippians 4) so I am going to obey...won't you come with me?! Let's make and do things that are beautiful, lovely, fun....
