After much prodding from my precious mother I am going to attempt to blog about my embroidery business. I know those of you reading this are just on the edge of your seats, eagerly awaiting to know all you can about thread, stabilizer, and all things embroidery! As I lay here in my bed the time is 11:00 pm and my son is FINALLY asleep after a long day of fun at Chuck E Cheese. The house is finally quiet and I am relaxing, watching the weather channel (I know, it's sad), and thinking about all of the sewing that is stacked up in my workroom.
Being "Back to School" season, I am swamped! This is not a bad thing, but I am starting to get stressed about getting it all done and getting everyone their orders in time for those first days of school. I know how important those moments can be, especially to the little ones awaiting their new, shiny backpacks and lunchboxes. (Well, maybe not shiny, but you know what I mean.) And I am a scrapbooker so I know the desire to have that perfect picture with all the new stuff. Which by the way, if you are not a scrapbooker--don't start! It is lots of fun, but it is addicting!!!! Once you start when do you stop? I am always behind wondering when I will have the time to catch up! I have decided to leave my stuff out on the dining room table at all times thinking it will inspire me to work on it (and who eats at their dining room table on a regular basis, right? We eat at the breakfast table as a family for those who are wondering, so might as well get some use out of the dining table that sits empty until the holidays.) But I digress...
I hope this blog will be informative to you and also an outlet for me to vent about my goings on in the embroidery world. We shall see! I guess I should tell you a little about myself. I have a little "About Me" on my website (http://www.elaborationsemb.com/), but here is the condensed version. I am a stay at home mom with one cute son and a handsome husband. We live in a suburb north of Dallas, Texas where it is really hot right now! (We may get some rain tonight. Yea!) I do all the embroidery on my commercial machine in one of our guest bedrooms, which now also contains my workspace. My mom runs the website. More on her later. It is a struggle to find the right balance between family, maintaining a home, and sewing. For those of you with small children you know how hard it is to get anything done when they want a playmate! And since my child is the most important job I have right now, he usually wins out. He sometimes will ask me, "Mommy, are you going to sew today?" How can I say yes to that? Now is when I should be working--when he is sleeping. Thankfully he is a good sleeper so the machine noise doesn't wake him up, but I am tired after playing all day, making dinner, doing dishes, laundry (my least favorite thing which never goes away), etc. So the overload begins!! He goes back to preschool in a couple of weeks so things will get easier. For now, I am trying to soak up each moment.
I am rambling, so off to sleep with me. Goodnight whoever is graciously reading these words!
