It has been years since I have wanted anything to do with a sewing machine.  I had enough of it in high school home ec courses.. 3 years of typing & 2 years of sewing.  I never did give up typing... not with computers these days.  But when I was young, sewing grew old.

I went to a vocational high school & majored in most all home ec & business classes.  At that time I had no idea what I wanted to do after graduation, so I prepared for an office job.  It wasn't until a year after high school that I decided I wanted to be a nurse.  Got my first nursing job in kidney dialysis & worked in the field for almost 12 years.  I loved every minute of it. It was one of the biggest parts of my life, until I had my kids. I quit work after I had my second child & haven't been back since.  Not that I wouldn't like to someday, but with the hours & demands... it's very hard as a mom.

I am currently loving building my little indie business..  I really enjoy the crafting & creating with each project I do.  It's been a slow & very expensive process.  Sometimes I feel like I don't have enough time to do everything I can do & need to do.. but I am soooo thankful for the customers I have had thus far!  It's really paying off.

I did some seasonal decorating this afternoon.  I have to admit, I'm not a big Halloween fan, so I don't go overboard with decorating for it..  I tend to go more towards pumpkins & fall decor without all the witchcraft & creepy stuff, but I do like to add a few simple decorations here & there.  I got an idea from Pinterest to make vinyl bat decals for the garage door. I think they turned out pretty cool :)   Last year I put a spider in our upstairs window, but he was so hard to notice.  These guys are pretty bold.. ha!
