Second thoughts???

Second thoughts? Honestly, I’m so glad I didn’t fully grasp what I was signing up for when I enrolled in this Web Business Creation class. If I had, I probably would’ve backed out.

They say it only takes 9–12 hours a week. Yeah… that feels wildly off, at least for someone my age. sigh

This week’s assignment shoved me way outside my comfort zone. I figuratively pulled my hair out, screamed until my voice gave up, and… yeah, I cried. I’m still trying to wrap my head around those “Choosing a Product” spreadsheets—most of it just flew right over my head. The anxiety was brutal: I couldn’t sleep, I wanted to run away and hide.

But then, parts of the assignment finally started coming together, thanks to my husband stepping in to help. Life felt good again in an instant. Having a husband who actually understands all the computer stuff? A lifesaver. He’s my hero this week, no question.

What am I learning? I’m leaning toward creating a blog about a subject we might enjoy, so I chose bees, since we’re hobby beekeepers. There’s something so beautiful about how faith and beekeeping intertwine. It feels a lot like building an online business too: you take one uncertain step forward, then another, a little more sure each time… until eventually your steps become steady, confident, even relaxed.

I’m truly grateful I didn’t know and have second thoughts to stop me from signing up. This class has ignited my curiosity and pushed me to grow beyond where I was—and I really appreciate that.

Here’s the first video on my new business blog, sharing why my husband got into beekeeping and inviting you along on our journey.

Happy learning, y’all!!

Trying a Different Fabric

Usually when we make quilts, we choose to use cotton or quilting cotton. These two quilts are actually fleece. Hopefully they hold up as well as their cotton counterparts. They were inspired by two boys who have a lot of personality.

Getting Creative!

Nichole joined a Creative Exchange. It like secret Santa but instead of buying something for the other person you make them something. This girl loves pastel colors and is a super girly girl. We decided to do a little bit of color pop with the orange border/binding. But tried to keep it as pastel and girly as possible. Do you think we achieved it?

Unicorns and Rainbows

When we made this quilt, I asked the recipient if there was such a thing as too much color. She said “No. The more color the better”. The back felt very loud, and the decision was made to include a more tamed unicorn top tied with her favorite color of intense teal. We loved it! What do you think?

This quilt was for a young woman who LOVES bees. If you make a bee quilt, it just feels right to have some flowers in there. This quilt turned out as sweet as honey.

Sonic! Gotta go faster

This was a quilt for a wonderful nephew. Sonic is a favorite character. We had a lot of tough decisions to make. The border was a darker yellow to represent the rings you collect in the game. Tied with red yarn and pieced to give more dimension. The back was to supposed to give a more video game feel. Let’s just say it fit his bedroom to a T.

Chillin with the Villians

Nichole decided to make some quilts for her in-laws. This fun one is for one who prefers the villains instead of the princesses. It was a lot of fun to make and, though difficult to find, the fabric had a lot of character to it.
