It’s been a wild one this year. It started slow but picked up and before I knew it I was knee deep in your orders. Thank you so much if you ordered from me this year or if you decided to follow me on here from stumbling on a reel I made or meeting me at a Christmas market. I must say I feel like I’ve spent the best part of the Christmas season very un well and emotionally drained! I know that’s quite dramatic isn’t it! 😝
Now that I’m caught up with everything and only have a few personalised items left to create for some customers, I’ve been able to sit down and think about these past few months.
Let me tell you I’ve learned a great deal about myself as well as the products I sell. There are a few surprises in store next year, such as my lovely scarves, which I don’t think I’ll continue making going forward. To be honest, people seemed to prefer my other items over them. Maybe it’s time to explore new avenues.
I’ve also come to the realisation that I’m not a superhero and I can’t continue to do everything. This Xmas season, being unwell I’ve felt like I’ve at times struggled to take care of my little boy, whilst juggling my business and everything else motherhood brings, and it’s really made me think about my own mum and how hard she worked to make Christmas so special for myself and my sister. There have been moments when I simply wished to talk to her and have her help me create the magical Christmas experience for my son, Sonny; because she was so good at that. So for me that’s pretty much a wrap and I can at least relax with my family and enjoy the festivities now ps credit where credit due my year old took this picture of me! I now I could hardly believe what a good job he did too! xx
