Sick kids have been keeping me busy for quite some time. We just can't seem to shake any of it. Sami had hand, foot and mouth disease last week, I only knew of the name before she got it. I really hope none of my kids ever get it again, that was a stressful week but she's completely fine now. Lizzy's having a hard time right now, keeping food down is hard for her, it's not fun to have her feeling this way. She woke up screaming yesterday, it scared the living crap out of me. Hopefully, if this warm weather sticks around, we'll be able to finally shake all this sick.
I'm not sure if I remember posting about hubby's injury before but back in November he broke his ankle while at work and has been at home since. He's been getting so many different dates from his therapist of when they'd expect him to be able to work again, so far going back this year is not looking very possible. We have to also make another trip to Edmonton because they think that a couple pins may have slipped out of place, so that might put him back in for surgery sooner than they expected. The next surgery wasn't supposed to be until September, we'll see what happens in April when we go see the surgeon again.
Everyone keeps asking me if I'm going back to work since hubby isn't able to yet. I have thought about it, I think it would be nice but hubby isn't too patient so I'm not sure him staying at home all the time would be the best option. Then there are others who are saying I should open up myself an etsy shop, even hubby's trying to get me to do it. I've been thinking about it but even if it does happen, I can't see it being until sometime next year. I'm not entirely confident in my blanket making skills just yet, someday maybe.
sorry to hear about your sick little ones...mia spent a few nights in hospital this past week with asthma...they were even preping her for ICU she was taht bad but luckily she finally responded to the ventolin and steroids and we were able to just go to the ward. sick kids put the whole week out!
ReplyDeletei think you should go for an esty shop...it has such minimal listing fees and percentage takings that it is a very viable 'pocket money' account that you can do from the privacy of your own home. you are very creative and your work is fautless, why not give it a go. i have only had a few sales in my two online shops but it is more about a creative outlet for me. something to work towards and if i get customers along the way, yay!
good luck, do it you wont regret it. take your time with name and logo and colour scheme so that it feels like you.

Oh my goodness!! Take care of the family, but most of all, take care of yourself! Give Etsy a try! I think you'll do well, but don't get discouraged if you don't sell right away. It took me almost a month to get a sale and it's just a matter of getting your stuff out there. Just like what Itt Bitty and Pretty said, it's more of a creative outlet.
ReplyDeleteTake care!!!
