A little about being a mom: I became a mom to Mason Allen Meyer on May 1st, 2011 so am still REAL new at this. To be honest, the biggest hurdle for me so far has been managing myself. I have always worked, I love working, and I currently miss working. I do not think I have found my place yet with being a mom and working. I am still figuring out if I will go back to work, how much time and energy I should dedicate to work and how much I should dedicate to being a mom. I think this will continue to be my largest struggle in the coming years. But then again, who isn't this a struggle for? I think we are all searching for our place in the world.
And a little about starting a small crafting business. Shortly after Mason as born, I struggled with having "something" as stated earlier, I loved working, work defined a lot of who I was, because no matter what I was doing I put my heart and soul into my job and wanted to do the very best I could at it. I can say I try doing that with being a "Mom" but I miss the gratification of hands on as well and seeing something from start to finish. I love crafting and being creative, so I decided to start making yarn wreaths. Looking back, my first wreath is awful! Who knows why I decided I could sell these. And my first customers, bless your hearts! If I could, I would re-do all your wreaths :)
Below you will see the very first wreath I made, and then a few of my current wreaths. I will also post a picture of my family the other part that is very important in my life. In the coming days, I can share with you some fun stories about how I met my husband and our journey which has also brought me to where I am today.
