I did put one costume for sale on Etsy. It didn't sell, but I did sell a special order, and I have high hopes for next year, now that I have the materials ready. I'm also indulging my creative side for other projects.

Etsy did not pan out for me, so far. The crafting thing remains complicated in my head. Am I doing it for creative expression, or to fund my creative expression, or to pass the time, or to prove something, or what? So far I am only able to get myself motivated when I have a very specific personal goal - Halloween costumes, or Theo's birthday party. I've got some fun projects for his party next month and as usual I'm hoping I can do more than that once that's done but motivation is such a bitchy nut to crack.

Honestly, these last 6 months have been very trying for me, and it seems my tools have grown mostly dull. I've been feeling irritated and selfish in the face of Theo's growing demands and stubbornness. To put it simply, this is Hard, and I RESOLVE to be better, for all of our sakes.

UGH. At best, I am exactly the same as I was. I have good days and bad days. I am not a patient person. I never know if I'm just beating myself up or if I'm not doing well enough or what. Maybe I know deep down that I can always do better but there's two sides to that....

I want my house to be cleaner. Theo is actually surprisingly good about cleaning up. I resolve to exploit his good example to inspire me to be more thorough. He teaches me so much...

Been better here. Many thanks to Unfvck Your Habitat for inspiring me to be better in ways that make sense to me.
For 2013....I still need to keep aware that everything I do rubs off on my little guy. That I can feel it when I'm unhappy due to my time-use choices and that I need to listen to myself. That I'm not perfect but that's no reason to not try my best.
More physical activity would be good, too.
