Let's hang out!

My husband's band is going on tour again. Up until last year he has spent anywhere from 6 - 10 months out of the year touring, but last year was an odd one and ended up turning into a whole year at home. I got spoiled by this! So this time around when the time to start planning for tour came, I feel like I should be completely honest and say that I was a little bummed out by this idea.
Touring kind of puts a damper on all of my grand plans for this little blog and for Etsy.

I know quite a number of girls have written about this topic lately, but sometimes in the blogging world/community its hard not to feel slightly envious or competitive. Which feels so silly to be writing right now, because I am not that way at ALL in my 'real' life. So the idea of putting down some of the things I've been working on makes me feel kind of anxious and nervous. Sometimes in my crazy brain I get the feeling of 'I better get this grand idea in production for Etsy because if I don't someone else will and it will be too late and I'll never be able to do (insert project/idea here).' Isn't that stupid? So instead of letting myself get down about touring this time around and letting the crazy 'girl' part of my brain take over, I've decided to make the best out of it! I have been planning more portable projects to work on and will be hunting down thrift stores on the road whenever possible. And to remind myself how many people get to just travel around the practically everywhere in the country (multiple times).

Which brings me to the main point of this post....
