Resoutions - Business Style

So, I have the typical resolutions in my personal life...get healthy; aka. stop being lazy because it's too cold out (remember I spent the first 24 years of my life in south Florida, the last 4 in Virginia, a "southern" state. I realize many places are far colder, but here we spend 4 months in the 30s or lower. Not. Good. I liked when it was "freezing" in the 60s in South Florida) and start running again. I *swear* I was being good about this when the weather was mild. I do live within 10 minutes to an entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway and Mountains. The backside of my neighborhood lets out onto a ridge, and when I first moved here (from South Florida, only saying that again so you relize I lived in COMPLETE flatlands before moving here) I literally couldn't even walk around the circle of my neighborhood. So, for me to have been running the last few months is a major deal to me. With twin 2 year olds in a massive double stroller, no less. I hate running. Got cold out, lost motivation, enough said.

Anyway, been eating like it's Christmas and not running. SERIOUSLY ready for a good workout, so I might suck it up and bundle myself and the 2 non-school age kids up and start running again. And ignore the whining of said 2 year olds who also hate the cold and complain a LOT. Or maybe it's a normal amount of whining but just seems like a lot because there are 2 of them. ****Life is more annoying when you have multiple 2 year olds*****

BUSINESS RESOLUTIONS!!!!!!!
The point of my post, so I'll stop with the other stuff.

1) GET ORGANIZED, for goodness sake! I literally have 3 different calendars for organizing myself and still forget to fill them out. Maybe this year I will find that *perfect* organizer including all aspects of my life to use this year. And maybe it will cost so much money that I will have no choice but to use it, for fear of wasting hard earned money. ***Note to self:: Google search a mommy/business organizer and sort by the MOST expensive first (always wondered why that was even an option). This will likely force me to use it***

2) Every morning, spend 10 minutes cleaning the sewing room from the night before. Typically, I sew until midnight or later, at which point I decide I am about to pass out from tiredness and barely brush my teeth and fall into bed in the clothes I am wearing. Luckily, I am a morning showerer. Taking a shower in the morning - before your husband leaves - buys you 10 minutes of alone time. So, so, so worth it. Somehow makes it better that you went to bed at 2:30, and your kids wake up at 6:30 in the throws of extremely loud and hyper behavior (SUCKS!). So, the room typically builds up into such a state of disorganization that when it becomes mandatory that you clean it (or risk losing all of your scissors in a pile of fabric scraps), it takes a whole night to do. Cutting back on sewing time. Also?? That gives you ANOTHER 10 minutes to yourself in the morning. Take a shower and then clean the sewing room = 20 minutes of almost quiet time (cause generally you can still hear the kids screaming and running in the shower AND downstairs in the sewing room. But you can choose to ignore it because you are "busy"). My kids are awesome!! And best served after 8:00 in the morning :))

3) Use up all the fabric erupting out of my cabinets and onto all surfaces of my beautiful, husband-created, workroom. Good lord, I love fabric. So much. And it shows in this space. Time to get busy with the stuff I have already picked out and not drool over the stuff that I don't own yet. I love fabric. Did I mention I love fabric? **Another note to self: look into a 12 step program for fabric addictions**

4) Make beautiful stuff and take beautiful pictures of it. Have already conquered the first and am working on the latter ;)

5) Make lots of happy customers!!! Thank you all so much!
