New Year, New Me?

I'm not one for making New Year resolutions, so I've decided to make some changes in my life NOW, before the new year begins.  So, ok I know it's just a matter of semantics but it makes me feel better to start early and that way I don't have to call it a NYR (new year resolution)!  It's just a life-style change.  What changes am I making?  For one, I'm going to be more focused in all I do--I just know I have adult ADHD!--you know, more focused in my life in Christ, more focused in my home business of recycling gentle used items, more focused in how I handle my money and just over all, all around, MORE FOCUSED in life!!   Steven Curtis Chapman has a song called "Live out Loud" and that's what I plan on doing--I'm tired of wandering through life, tossed about by situations and circumstances.  I'm taking a stand to enjoy life more each day--how about you?  Let me know how you feel about it and if you've decided to make positive changes in your life--maybe we can help each other!!  Blog me!!!

Ok, so I'm not really sure what I'm doing or how to blog, but I'm learning. Although I work full-time and have a part-time job at night, my favorite thing is to create new items from gently used 'treasures'. I'm really getting into making purses out of just about anything I can find. I'm kinda focused right now on using old blue jeans--it's really cool to add old buttons, vintage jewelry, antique lace, etc to common blue jeans to create a 'groovy' looking, one-of-a-kind purse!! Went to a show recently and everyone liked my purses--even sold some!! I'll be branching out soon into other fabrics such as leather, fur, wool jackets and oh so much more! I also just found a book on sock animals. These are NOT your typical sock creations-the writer of the book is asian and has a wonderful flare for creating little creatures with a definite Pokemon-type appearance. They are so cool and I can't wait to try one!! Will post a picture as soon as I do!
