I have a confession...I have blog envy. Oh yes, big time. I am absolutely in love with this adorable Mom's blog: http://littlemissmomma.blogspot.com/ I believe that we are the same person only she has better hair, cuter clothes, and probably looks just as glamorous in sweatpants.
Oh I could probably make mine look just like that if I had a)time, b)motivation, and c)less hobbies.
Ok, those are all excuses. I know. Actually, what I need is someone to do it all and then I take all of the credit :) Oh wait, I can't do that, huh?
So, do I continue to blog stalk and have blog envy and go about my business because really who really reads this thing? Or, do I set aside some of my hobbies in order to really do this thing the right way?
Because, you see...I have a need for perfection. Like, I had to stop scrapbooking, because I started having anxiety attacks because the pages didn't look just like in a magazine. It is a problem.
Or, how about http://blissbyheather.blogspot.com look at all of her great products! Ok, so that leads me to another topic...
My Etsy Shop.
For the last three years, I have wanted to have my own Etsy shop. Just to see if it could be sucessful. Like I don't have enough going on, but I feel like I have to at least try. I think that I am just going to start out with my superhero capes and taggie blankets. But, I need my Etsy shop to look classy. I need it to look like I am somewhat a pro at it. I need fabric labels for the products, and I need to write up a great product description and figure out pricing and how to options, etc. Exhausting. I just want to sit on the couch and blog stalk.
But, is that getting anything done? I have this fantastic craft room and yet I get stopped by the couch, Real Housewives of whatever city, and these gorgeous blogs that I get completely jealous about. But, I have to remember my deployment goals. Now, who wants to help me??

blog stalking is easy, but anyone can do it. doing something original and remarkable is hard - that's why not everyone does it. start slow, keep it moving forward, and the possibilities are endless!
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting for you to open up your etsy store!! I may be a tad bit addicted to etsy. Especially now that I will have another little girl to spoil rotten in less than 2 months!
ReplyDeleteYou are so funny! Single mom with a full time job, husband deployed and now you want to start a business. You sound just like me!
ReplyDeleteYou can do it!
Thanks for the blog suggestions. Now I'm spending my time blog stalking instead of laundry, dishes, etc. :)
ReplyDeletethat is the same exact reason I cannot scrapbook anymore! I want it perfect!
