Am I Done Yet???

  I am learning that this life is full of ups and downs. Some days we get ample amounts of rain and loads of veggies come out of the field, other days it is so dry that just walking across the field leaves a dust cloud in your wake. Too many days like that and you don't exactly make a lot of money selling what few veggies survive. So to help our bank account out when those days come too frequently I decided to try my hand at making and selling little girls boutique style dresses and hair clips. Let me just start by saying I have sewing experience but this is taking a lot longer than I would like. I guess if I could just sit and sew all day I would probably have enough dresses made to open my boutique but I have a husband who needs my help around the farm and 3 children who can't quite fend for themselves yet, although I'm close on the 8 year old. Oh and did I mention that I homeschool, too? Yea and the new year starts in a couple weeks. Am I at all prepared for this year? Maybe a little.
Back to my slowly growing boutique... I have been sewing off and on all weekend and I have 4 dresses and 6 headbands/hair clips to show for it. I'm thinking at this rate I just might go live by Christmas. Oh well, I will get there eventually. I've learned that nothing happens fast on the farm :)
