She is energetic and strong,
a hard worker.
She makes sure her dealings are profitable;
her lamp burns late into the night.
Her hands are busy spinning thread,
her fingers twisting fiber.
Proverbs 31:17-19
Right now I am definitely feeling like the Proverbs 31 woman...at least in verses 17 through 19.
The rest the verses, not so much.
I recently opened a second shop on Etsy {
Anthology On Main} where I make and sell book page wreaths {pictured above} and pomanders, plus some other things.
I originally had only planned to list what I had time to make and then hope to sell it.
Instead, I've been receiving custom requests...which is absolutely awesome!
So far this month I've made two custom wreaths, 5 custom pomanders for a party, and am currently working on a HUGE order for a wedding. I'm making 17 pomanders, the bridal bouquet and (likely) all the boutineers as well!
I am amazed and so very thankful that God has blessed me with this new path, but it's also a bit overwhelming!
I've really slacked on keeping the house clean, meal planning is a distant memory, my camera is collecting dust, and blogging has certainly taken a backseat to it all...this is why you've seen zero comments from me over the past few weeks.
Over the next week I also hope to incorporate verse 20 into my regular routine:
She extends a helping hand to the poor
and opens her arms to the needy.
In what ways do you find yourself like the Proverbs 31 woman?
In what ways are you striving to be?
...and now I want to leave you with this song that was sung in church last week.
It's a country song, but I want you to listen and hear it as if Jesus was singing it to you...
