Mid-Year Resolution

Well, it's halfway through the year and I'm about halfway through my pregnancy (can you guess which I'm more excited about?). I've been really slacking on my crafting...and almost all household chores. Now I'm really going to try to get back on track before November.

I'm in the process of switching my Etsy store from handmade items to hand-drafted patterns that I can sell as PDF files. I figure this way I can spend less time at the sewing machine, but still *hopefully* make sales. I'm loving that the new Etsy search feature actually shows my items instead of burying them beneath all the re-listers.



So my resolutions are:
1) Spend at least 15 minutes each day cleaning, and at least 3 days working on the baby room
2) Spend at least one day each week updating my Etsy store (preferably listing new items)
3) Post at least one new blog entry per week - be it crafting or baby related
3) Do my prenatal yoga workout every morning so I'll have energy to accomplish the above!

Ok - that shoud do it! Keep it simple, right?

Hello,
I found you by clicking "Etsy" in my "interests" links on Blogger and decided to "follow" you. I would like to invite you to my new blog, "Dish."

I would love it if you would tell us something you "ate" today, and something you "made" today, at this post here:

See you,
Kara

I'm glad you broke even on the lotto, better than losing :)

That's a beautiful top there, I love off the shoulder tops. Do you have a name picked out for your baby?

Thanks for taking a look at "DISH."

Enjoy your week :)

Thanks! We've decided on Connor or Cassandra. The meanings behind the names are a whole 'nother post!

Now I'm curious. What's behind Cassandra? Cassandra is a name I've thought beautiful for a while. (When I was little, my friends and I used to take different names for a day, and I was Cassandra a lot of the time).
