Change = New Opportunity

This is our wedding August, 1996. Its a sample of what my little home based business use to do.( I made all of these in about 3-4 weeks.) Young and dumb, I think. I loved being a part of one of someones most "Special Day." I can no longer compete with those ninety-nine dollar racks.
Most of my work originated from pictures or drawings. If my customer could draw it...I could make it. If I could draw ...I would be a Designer. I can draw a very nice stick figure. LOL!!!
Notice the flower girls. Those are my babies. (A second marriage for Hubby and I) They were sooo little.
Back to my plan. I think after too much thought, agony ,and tears I am going to teach sewing/quilting to others. I will still do simple stuff (hemming,curtains...etc). I love to teach others. I get GREAT satisfaction watching others accomplish something they thought they could "Not Do." I think quilting / sewing lessons are too expensive. I can do this out of my home. I don't have to leave = cheaper prices. I may work part time or volunteer somewhere in the fall.( I must use that degree that should be in the mail any day now..) be patient Lori ! I say to myself. Come on FLCC ...I am waiting. : )

Picture of the Day
Miss Elly wants to be a Therapy Dog ! She wants to visit Nursing Homes. She said so. I think she can make others smile.

What a good idea Lori, to teach other people. As an ex-teacher (childbirth classes and school) I can remember how satisfying a job it can be. And I think Miss Elly's correct - she certainly makes me smile!

Miss Elly is good therapy for me everyday. Miss Elly should use her strengths to comfort others. She's a good girl.

I think it's a good idea to teach too. I have thought about it for years myself. All these little girls and their mom's beg me to teach them. I agree. Quilting and classes are very expensive. Everyone should be able to do it, even poor people like me. :)

Good luck on your new career. It sounds like you are very well qualified! Miss Elly can help the students when they need that little bit of "cute motivation."

I meant to tell you that you were a beautiful bride. You're little girls are so pretty. We were married in 94, a second marriage for me and his first. July 1st is our anniversary and I'll be at camp babysitting a bunch of rotten kids. They are sweet kids, but I would rather be with my honey on our anniversary. *sniff*
