Decisions...

Wow, it's been a while. I usually don't go this long in between posts, but sometimes life just gets in the way.

So I have made a major decision recently. It has taken me a couple of months to finally come to this decision, but I have chosen for the time being to put my little bag business on hold. It was not an easy decision to make, nor was it one that was made lightly, but one that I feel is necessary for right now. It has been a fun almost two years making bags, but there are other more important things vying for my attention.

I had been going back and forth on this decision for quite a while and prayed a lot about what would be the best for my family, but the day I actually decided, I had an overwhelming feeling of relief come over me. That was answer enough for me. While part of me feels like a major quitter, the other part of me is ready to get back to just being able to take care of my family, cleaning my house on a regular basis, doing a better job at my calling, being able to get to the 10+ projects that are lying around in my garage and sewing room half done, being able to have time clipping coupons again, and getting back to actually doing a good job again at managing our finances. My wonderful hubby has been so supportive through the whole bag making business thing, and when I told him I needed to put it on hold for a while, he was nothing other than understanding.

While running a business from home is not in the cards for me right now, I am hoping that maybe when all my kids are in school, I can get it going again. I am just so grateful for wonderful friends who were so supportive through the whole thing, and were always there to bounce ideas off of. This is Lucy Mae Locket, signing off. For the time being at least.
