An Open Letter to my Drill Press

I don't know about you guys, but sometimes I seriously hate crafting.  Yeah; I said that, SOMETIMES I HATE CRAFTING.  I don't know, I read all the blogs about how great people's wares are, how to build your business and make it better, or how amazing it can be to do your own thing, which is all great and very helpful, but you never really hear about the downside of it.  I'm talking about those really bad days where the last thing you want to do is come home from your day job only to work on your night job and nothing goes right.  Case in point, my drill press (yeah I'm talking to you drill press).  So here it goes, from the top:

Dear Drill Press,

If I could launch you to the end of the earth and back right now I would.  Why do you want to break on me when I have orders to fulfill?  I'm not sure why, you never respond, but here is my response to you, we are through.  I'm replacing you with the Dremel 3 in 1 and I don't really feel bad about it.  So have a good life drill press and take care.

Love,

Management

Okay I feel a little bit better about things now.

Does anyone else have days where everything they do with their business doesn't work out according to plan?  Or you feel like throwing in the towel, yet you don't because there is always that shiny success story at the end of the tunnel?  Well I want to hear from you, but for now it's off to give Skate Pet Feeder making another go....There are still hours left in the day.

Goodbye weekend:(

It's 830pm on a Monday night and I am bidding adieu to a long work filled weekend (my day job gave us Monday off, yay!)  A lot has been happening since I last wrote...so with my feet up and Tank on my left squeaking his new Kong ball, let me recap...

Friday:  Leave work, make feeders...this is a never ending battle!  Got some new stuff posted for my site and pics sent off to some stores for drop shipping...The day was beautiful so I later snuck off to the beach.

Saturday:  More feeders (do you see a pattern here?)  In the afternoon I went out to DoubleWide Surf Shop and got my newest Skate It Forward applicant, J.P., signed up as well as interest from other skaters.  I'll write more on his project on my new Skate It Forward blog, courtesy of my lovely baby sister, Lynn.  I think it's a great one though!  Got Doggy Go Greens feeders packed and ready to go on my way home, and then off I sped to a pig picking in Beaulaville...If you have never been you should try it, North Carolinians make them some deeeeeelishouusss barbeque.  Afterwards I was able to make it to my favorite pub to listen to some great blue grass music.

Sunday:  More feeders cut, I just bought a new hole cut saw for my drill press, so the skateboards cut like butter right now, it's great.  I'm trying to gear up for the Azalea Festival in Wilmington, NC next weekend, so the more feeders the better.  This will be my first festival that I've done, so I'm curious to see how they will fare.  Cross your fingers...

Monday:  More homework (I go to school at night), moved my office to my new spare bedroom, and yep, you guessed it, cut more feeders.  I was able to get out and buy some beautiful annuals for my garden, finally got them planted tonight.

So now I'm done (for now), there is a siren going off in the distance and Tank, my youngest lab, is howling at it.  I'll keep you posted about the Azalea Festival with DoubleWide...It's gonna be ridiculous!
