So I have had a page now for a long time that leads to my Etsy shop “Sugar and Fun”. The shop has been empty. When the kids went to school this year I kept telling my self that I wanted to start to fill it but I just could not do it.

Some of the reason I kept giving myself was that the items I was making were not good enough to sell but when I sat down and looked into why I felt this way I found out that was not the case.

The true reason was I was just feeling sorry for my self. I was having a lot of issues of feeling like I was only needed at home to be the maid. The kids were gone and by the time I feed and bathed them along with the homework after school it was time for bed. Feelings of not being needed were really strong. Those feelings lead just not wanting to do anything at all. I was doing just enough to make it through the day. Now to say that those feelings are gone would be a lie. They are still there but now that I am aware of them I can take those feelings to God and let Him have them giving me the energy to get back to one of my passions sewing. (If you know me you know that my other passion is picture taking which because of the shop I get to do too.)

It is nice to feel that I am once again adding to the family setting by bringing in some extra money that is ours to play with since we don’t count on any money from the shop. It all goes to wants so thing we have not had money for a long time since Joey got sick. Any extra money has gone to doctor bills or towards the cars in forms of repairs and gas.

Please go and have a look.
