Part of me dreams of having time every day to be crafty. I have a never ending list of things I would like to make and it seems like the list just gets longer every day. To tell you the truth I was even getting frustrated that I wasn't finding the time to do the things I wanted to. But then reality hit. I am a Mother! I love being a mom, this is what I have always wanted to be. These little kiddies will not always want all of my attention, so I am trying to soak it all up before it passes me by. Which means that being crafty does not always happen. So if you are ever wondering why I haven't posted forever it is because I am busy soaking up life.
As many of you noticed I finally figured out how to make my pictures large on blogger. I had tried a couple of tutorials, but they didn't work for me. I finally found one at made by madeline that worked and was super easy.
I like your perspective! So many mothers have the attitude that they can't wait to "get rid of" their kids for a few hours. Today a lady in water aerobics told me that she was so glad to be done with "that phase" of her life. (pregnancy) People like that need to have an attitude adjustment! Way to be!
ReplyDeleteAngela, I know exactly what you mean! I went through the same thing after 2 months of excessive etsying...I was neglecting my kids! And I didn't want to! I LOVE being a mom and wanted to make sure I was spending time with them because they do grow so fast! Now I'm just like you, I have projects in my head that I want to get done, but some days you just have to play!
ReplyDeleteThanks for making me feel normal!
(and ps, I'm still drooling over the card table house! my kids would LOVE it!)
Angela, you are simply the best. Yesterday I was having one of those days when I felt like I needed to choose between being a good Mom and being a good homemaker. Forget crafting - I just wanted to get my darn carpets vacuumed. But this is sincerely the best job ever! I'm so glad there are still people in the world that realize that.
