Happy Monday everyone!
For those of you who started back up with their work week today, I hope you woke up thrilled about getting back to work. I think one of the saddest things ever is not loving your job. We spend most of our lives working. It really helps to love what we do. Don’t love it? You can change it! Or you can just not love it and do it anyway. No law against that. lol
I had a very busy weekend because I’m the type who would rather work every day than ever take a day off. I feel like i got a lot accomplished, dealt with lots of fabric, uploaded enough videos. I’m working hard on my channel to try to bounce back from a dip in earnings at the beginning of July. I think I might end up okay!
Yesterday, I got 18 packages ready for my carrier for today’s pickup. I think the packaging is the most time-consuming part of selling the fabric. Yes, cutting it is time-consuming too, but it’s more pleasant because I get to be looking at all the fabric. Packaging is not exciting and it’s also easy to mess up, so I have to constantly be paying attention. Which I’m good at because it’s my job, and as time-consuming and tedious as it is, I love my job.
Seriously, there is not a day that goes by that I’m not grateful that I love my work. Many times it’s the only thing that gets me through the day.
Yesterday, I finally got back to my Upcycled Fashions series! It felt so good to be doing that! I took two skirts and turned them into one skirt. I love the outcome! You can see the skirt here.
Today I must finish listing my very few paper bead auctions that will go live tomorrow, Aug 1st, at 4:00pm. I wish I had more to offer, but I did not have a full month to work on them. I’m hoping to make lots of them for Sep 1st.
And I might list a few more Penny Auctions with Free Shipping today! I thought that might be a nice way to start the week. And I think I’ll try a 5 day listing instead of 7 days. This way, the auctions will end on Saturday and if anyone orders fabric and also wins one of the auctions, I can send everything together.
My other plans for today might include a load of laundry and picking up around the house. I also have another review I need to do for a vacuum that I bought. Putting that on my list and will try to get that done this week sometime.
I also have 21 new dating messages that I have not even looked at. I might read some of those on camera tonight. I’m sure it’s much of the same as the first batch of dating comments that I read, but hey, if I am on this boring journey, you need to be there with me! lol
Have a great Monday! Darlene xoxo
