Busy creating

As you all know I am trying to get a home crafting business up and running. I have a couple of things in the works as far as sales go, but I needed to have more inventory on hand if these ideas of mine are going to work. So for the past five days I have been busy creating new pieces. And all you lucky folks get to see a sneak peek of what I have been up to.

These pieces are a little more complex than what I normally make and they did take me a bit more time than it usually takes, but I honestly believe the end results is so totally worth it. So take a peek at what I’ve been up to lately and please let me know what you all think.

Setting up the home office

As you all know, I am now a work at home mom. Because I spend so much time online and have a lot of business/office equipment, my husband gave me our spare room for my home office. I pretty much have everything in the office that I want, but I would really love to have a couple of leather office chairs in the room as well. I just think it would look more professional and I know it would definitely be more comfortable than what I am currently using. But, everything does take time and it won’t be much longer when I have the entire office set up the way I want it.

Looking for a new job

Looking for a new job can be quite a hassle. Especially if you’ve been at your current place of employment for over 10 years. Well this is what is taking place in my husband’s life right now. For quite a while he hasn’t been real happy at his place of employment and has finally decided to do something about it. But, there is only one problem with this line of reasoning. He hates change. It took me over six months to convince him to purchase the home we currently live in even when he could see the home that we were living in was really way to small and when I tried to discuss changing our life insurance policy, he wouldn’t even discuss it. But hopefully this decision he has made won’t take it’s toll on him like every other choice he tries to make and maybe he will finally be happy at a job.

It’s been ten months and they still want me!

Ten months ago I quit my full time job to stay home with my two youngest children.  I had been employed there for almost seven years, but I lost my babysitter so I really had no choice but to leave.  I really didn’t look real hard for another one as I kind of wanted to take some time off anyway.

Well you could have knocked me over with a feather with the phone call that I got this morning from my previous employer.  She wants me back!!  I was really surprised that she would even think about me after all these months.  I guess she really did appreciate the work that I gave them over the years.

But, I told her no, not right now.  Right now I am quite content with my life and I am  so enjoying the extra time that I get to spend with the kids.  Their enjoying it as well.  But, it sure did make me feel good knowing that this particular employer still wants me to come back even after all these months.

I’m still learning

Although I’ve been quite active on the Internet for the past couple of years, I am still learning all the ins and outs of the Internet and computer world. This is why it would be quite helpful for me to utilize the services of an IT consulting company. By employing these services, I could get all the help and direction I need right from my home. This company would come directly to my home and help me with any problems that I may be experiencing right in front of my eyes. This way if some of the same similar problems arise, I would have already watched them to see how I could fix it. Although I am only one person working from home, I can see how a company like this would be a major asset to any business as well.

Going in a different direction

As you all know six months ago I had to quit my outside job due to babysitter issues.  Since then I have been trying to earn a little extra income off the Internet.  I have tried paid blogging and freelance writing.  Out of the two, I definitely preferred the paid blogging.  It paid better and I had so much fun doing it.  But, I’m thinking that I need to go in a different direction now.  Because of the latest Google update that took away all my page rank for all my blogs, I haven’t been able to make hardly any income at all through paid blogging so I have decided that I may need to look back into freelance writing.

So, I have a question for all you freelance writers out there.  How do you find good paying freelance writing jobs that are legit??  I have searched a lot of sites over the past year and most of the sites that I have discovered offer very little pay for the type of work required or they are just a scam to make people shell out their valuable money.  I’m sure there are some legitimate sites out there, but honestly guys I am unsure as where to find them.

So if you could give me a little nudge in the right direction I would be so grateful and maybe, just maybe, I can’t start earning a living again to help out with household expenses and things that my kids would like to have.
