Keep ya eyebrows thick...

Is this button the greatest or what? I'd love to put this on my purse! 

I've never really considered having much to do with business. Being a business owner sounds very stressful and to be honest, I don't know much about what it even takes to own your own business. However, I am dating a man who is very very interested in the world of business and he has inspired me to start up a little gig of my own (along with my sister's inspiration, as well.) My sister has her own little shop called "My Poppy Creations." She makes beautiful handmade children's moccasins, handmade blankets, and leather bags. She has always been the creative daughter in our family ;) 

Take a look at her Etsy shop if you are interested in any of these adorable items. 

Anyway, just getting back from Lithuania, I was trying to find ways to make extra cash while I was trying to find a job. They both mentioned "hey, why don't you try a pet sitting or dog walking gig?" 

well, okay then. Why not?

So I did! I made up a flyer...

and I've just been rolling in the dough.

Haha. Just kidding. 

But it has been going great! I've gotten a few great clients so far and it has been fun. Plus it's not time-consuming and it's something I can easily do on the side :) If you know of anyone who needs help with their pets, send them my way!

I've also been stitching away at these babies:

I was inspired to make a pretty wall hanging piece with these embroidery hoops that would look something like this:

as you can see, mine is very mediocre compared to these, but I think it's just so pretty and nice. I want it in my rooooom! 

As far as the Geo Deer canvas, I thought I would frame it and set it up on my shelf. This is also another potential business idea of mine. If I get better, I'll probably start selling these babies. I think they are very chic and modern and they look very nice and clean. If you are interested in one, give me a shout. I could probably do just about any animal :) 

I'm feeling pretty good right now. It's nice to fill up my time with things I enjoy doing. My job is super simple and very laid-back. I work with super kind people and the work environment is very pleasant. I do have a lot of down time though, so that can be a plus and a negative. It's nice because I can do a lot of blogging and research and stuff like that, but negative because it makes the time go by a bit slow :p It's like a dream job for lazy people, really. Sometimes I prefer a bit more moving around, so we will see how it all goes :) 

I'm excited because I'm going to be starting a tap class on Monday nights. I just ordered a new pair of tap shoes that should be arriving soon. My old pair is now 2 sizes too small. My feet grew almost a whole size while I was in Lithuania. I love tapping though and I am super excited to start attending the class! Maybe later on this year, I may get back into musicals/plays as well. Now that I have nights off (seriously, best ever!) I'd be fully capable of doing a show. I can't remember the last time I have ever worked a job where I had nights off. Ummm....try never? So this is pretty great :) 

Not much to complain about right now. Life is treating me well.

Oh! One of my best girlfriends ships off to Lithuania tomorrow!! 

I'm so excited and proud of her! I know she will have a wonderful time and will gain so much life experience by doing this. Then when she gets home we will go frolic around San Francisco because we are so in love with it! <3

Thanks for stopping by!
