@ additionsstyle: I'm glad to hear that you are getting stuck in. House work is so unrewarding isn't it:)

Thank you for that post. As a new etsy shop owner, I never knew how much time you really need to make it all work. My house has suffered the most, but you are right it will still be here when I finish my project. additionsstyles last blog post..Mixed Washer Link Bracelet

Oh bless you and your lovely insightful words, Lisa. You are so right about the guilt aspect, but also probably right (if you can allow yourself to do it) in thinking that the children do benefit from having a mother with a sense of fulfillment and projects of her own. x Florences last blog post..Verbose

Agree 100X b(^o^)d…

My craftbusiness is not success, yet…but it gives me a lot of positive effects on me…courage, confidence, learning new stuff…

This is just so true. I often find myself feeling guilty for crafting when I could have been sitting in the floor with the baby. Then I remember that my own mental health is important and that making efforts to bring in some supplemental cash is a great way to help the family. Everybody has a hobby and this is the one I love.
