So I have been thinking a lot lately about wanting to do something different with my life. I really don't want to work in corrections anymore. There are several things I would like to do but they require going back to school. It also requires money. I have thought about going to hair school and I have also thought about becoming a grade school teacher. If I become a hair stylist I could flex my schedule so I can be home with my boys and if I go the school route I would get summers off with my boys. I have also recently thought about opening my own fabric business. I really like sewing and crafting and the only place to get fabric in Gardner is at Walmart and they really don't take good care of their fabric. To get a good selection of fabric one has to drive into Overland Park to Joann's and then it is a pain to sit and wait for hours to get the fabric cut. If I start the business I think I would start it online first and then have a store front. It is just an idea...one that I have not shared with my husband. I think I know what he would say anyway. I have always wanted to own a little boutique/coffee shop because I like boutique stores and LOVE coffee shops. But there are three coffee shops in Gardner which in reality is quite a bit for a city that isn't that big. Anyway I still need to post my creations that I have recently made..haven't really had a chance to get it done. Hopefully in the next couple of days.
I thought about making a wrap for Christmas presents for my sister-in-law, mother-in-law, and mother. The only thing is the pattern I found for it states I would need to use a jersey/rayon blend and 5 yards worth! I went to Joann's the other day to look at jersey/rayon blends and holy moly! They wanted 16.99 a yard for the colors I liked. Oh well...it is for Christmas presents. I might find lower priced fabric online.
Cooper is currently playing with my container of Scentsy fragrance samples. He would love it if I opened it for him but that would be a mess! He already has all of his building blocks all over the living room.
Everyone have a great day! Cooper needs to take his nap.
