A Sad Sacrifice...How I Can't Stop Crying

It is not what we take up, but what we give up, that makes us rich. Henry Ward Beecher

In the later part of last week, I wrote my last entry, before dealing with family issues. I have received each note sent my way, and I thank you all so very much, for your total support. On one hand, it was completely heartwarming, to know that you all cared so

Life happens, and we do the best we can to navigate when it takes sharp turns. I doubt this is the end of the project, just a change in the timeline. Even while cranking out hats and scarves, you'll probably want to change it up now and then, and that's when you can throw in a bit of the project and work on something new and different.

I'm sorry things are stressful at home. I hope you make a ton of money on etsy!

Thank you for this incredible reply. This was a great support.
Things will get better. They have to. I just hope that I can get some sells on Etsy. It would be nice, to be able to help.

The yarn project will be here when things settle down. Hopefully Etsy will work wonders for you. Don't think of the break as a "flaking moment"; think of it as a change in goals. One of my interview answers might serve you well here.

I never have failed a goal I've set for myself. The final goal may have evolved into something completely different than what it started as but goals should change as more data become available.

This is a change in the yarn project goal; moving from learning all different techniques to being a self supporting hobby AND supplemental household income. Loom knitting and knitting will wait patiently for you to assist with the household. That's the beauty of fiber arts, they don't spoil like food does.

I'll continue to read your blog (as close to daily as I can) even if there are no new updates. Good Luck and Best Wishes!!!

Thank you. I hope I can do well on Etsy. My family really needs it. It was wonderful to read this message, and see such such overwhelming support.
I will be starting another blog, on Livejournal. I hope you read it.

Don't end it. Just take a break.

*hugs* Here for you, sweetie.

Thank you. I hope you will follow my new blog. I will be creating it tonight, and posting either tonight or tomorrow.

I do not know what to say. I am not sure if I could be of any help, but I do want you to know that I am here if you need anything. If this makes you feel bad, I'm sorry. I will definitely continue to read your blog, whatever entries we, your readers, might receive. I would like to see what you have in your Etsy shop and will support you that way if possible. :)

Thank you for this. Just having this support is a HUGE help. I will be creating a new blog tonight, where I will switch to writing. I am very happy to have such wonderful support.
Thank you again.

I'm not going anywhere. I enjoy reading your entries and they don't have to be about the project but boy did I learn, that I probably didn't want to try loom knitting! LOL!

I think you should try bundling up your entries thus far (or as of the first year anniversary) in the yarn project and selling this as a book. In fact, you might just continue the project so you can write a sequel. ;-)

I will be starting a new blog tonight. I hope you will follow me. Thank you for the wonderful support.
I may just try writing a book, over the past year. Thanks for the idea.
