I love this belt! I need some more thick belts like this. Too bad I am not adept at leather tooling. Pretty casual today as with pretty much everyday! I did wear one of my current favorite necklaces! I got it for Christmas and it is a scissors charm. Love it!! Also, can we talk about how red my hair looks in the close up picture?!?! That is like, almost, Debra Messing red! I promise it is unfortunately not that red in real life. To0 bad to, because that is exactly the shade of red I would like it to be.
Instead of watching the Oscars last night I did some sewing and planning for my spring wardrobe. I also spent some time thinking about what else we, Eric and I, can do to speed our adoption along. Things have been pretty stagnant in the financial department. I know back in October I said I was giving up control, and for the most part I have. I have not allowed the burden of finances to control my almost every waking thought. To be completely honest, it has been nice not to be so stressed about it. I have just let it go with the attitude of it will come. Problem is, it’s not. I know, I know. Patience young Padawan. Maybe I have been too lax about it though. I have been neglecting my Bows for Adoption shop for sometime now and I have not actively been making any new hair bows or other bow themed items like I had intended. So here is my goal/plan for March.
I want to raise $400 in March. That is a huge goal for us! To do this I am going to do the following
- I am going to start making a several more things for me to wear for The Adoption Dress Project that I can put in my shop over the next couple of weeks.
- I am going to stop making things for other people, except Eric, for free. I have a bad habit of giving away my time, skills and even personal stash to friends for nothing in return. I would be okay with this if we weren’t trying to raise money for our adoption.
- I am going to promote my shop and blog more. I had a great opportunity to do this on Saturday that I just avoided. There was a group of cheerleaders that came into the restaurant Eric and I were having lunch in and instead of talking to them and giving them my card, we just left.
I will also need your help to reach this goal! Please consider helping us by sharing our story and blog with your friends and family. Please consider buying a bow or making a donation to help us along. In return I promise our everlasting gratitude of helping to bring our future child home with us.
Thank you!
