So it has been a little depressing lately. I spent tons of time making little girl dresses to try to sell at a yard sale. In the end I had made eleven dresses in about four days. But we had no luck when we tried to sell them. Maybe people don't think 'hand-made' is something worth having, or is of a poor quality compared to store bought clothes. Or maybe they thought five dollars is to much to pay for some thing brand new at a yard sell. So anyway you could say I was a little disappointed. I really tried hard to help bring some needed income in but it was of no use and that's what upsets me most. You can't make a descent dollar doing something you love, oh no, I guess the only way I can make an income for our family is by watching others children. So I guess that's what will have to happen after the baby comes. I guesss what I've learned from this is that you can't expect good things all the time no matter how hard you work. Oh well such is life. So at least I can give the dresses away, which is what I normally do anyway, and to those who find no home, they will be shipped off to D.I. where anything goes.
Please no comments, this is me just ranting!
