Today’s Homemaker

Well, I didn’t mean to completely disappear for practically a week. It’s been an extremely productive week, but I do miss it here. My next post will be of Lilah’s birthday party. I still have to upload the pictures to my smugmug account (is flickr mac-friendly yet?), so hopefully by tomorrow I’ll have some updates for you.

Other than that, life has been a whirlwind lately. I was just commissioned for yet another web design project (!), so I’ve now got three due for completion on February 7th, 14th, and 28th, respectively. I had no idea that my designs would go over so well. Because of the success I’ve had so far, I’m also designing a website for myself to serve as a portfolio for my work. Be on the lookout!

I’ve also re-started work on an author’s book project that was put on hold for a couple of months. In addition to that, I’ve got two events to coordinate this year (one in May and one in September), and I’m helping Leah over at Creative Every Day with a book that she’s writing. All very exciting stuff!

Ordinarily, I would be extremely stressed out over all of these things on my plate. But the difference this time is that I am so thankful for the work. We have been in such financial straits for so long that to see God providing all of this work is just an immeasurable blessing. After several failed attempts at opening my own business, the momentum has finally hit. And you know, once you get that first little push, it’s downhill from there.

So bear with me as I try to regain my balance and get re-rolling on my beloved blog. Thanks for all of your encouragement!
