Recap 2013

Reviewing 2013, I find it was an unusually slow year for business but believe it was due to lack the right
items for sale and the limited time to create items as I was helping my daughter a lot with her new baby.  With all this in mind I must remember and reflect on what is most important.  Is it my small business or spending special time with my new grandson.  I value the time this year I had with him and cherish every minute for soon in this new year they will be moved, daughter and family to another state.  I'm   thankful for the time I have had with him.

  Now, as I think about life and business changes and going through up and downs I need to reflect on what to improve upon or keep the same.  I found that I needed another medium to sell besides aprons.  I added collars and cuffs that were Victorian style for weddings or special occasions.

Later in this year,  I began two Life Groups, one group for making dresses for girls around the world and the other for making blankets for cancer patients.  With these in mind and with  my daughter's help gave me the idea of making children's clothing.  This idea was such a hit I made many holiday pillowcase dresses.  So even though it was slow at times it did pick up and turned out to be a good year.

Refocus Your Focus!

As 2012 comes to an end, it reminds me  that it's time to reevaluate my life and remember to focus on what is really important.  Is it our self, others, our business or God.  If you would to take the time to think this all through you would realize that the most important thing to focus on is God, without him we are nothing. 

 If we focus on God all things will fall into place. Did we make the right choices last year?  Are we going to make better ones this new year?  Only you know!  Its time to reflect on the past, learn from our mistakes and begin again with new found focus and not allow our self  to be lost in the busyness of life and remember why we are here and what we are to accomplish with your life.  

So as these year comes to a close I pray that you my readers will reevaluate your life and if you find you are missing the mark that you will get yourself back on track this new year and rediscover who you are and who you are meant to be and with God's help you will accomplish all your goals and even more!  Many blessings to all my readers and Godspeed!
