Heads up…. LONG POST. Raw and Real!
Happy New Year!!! 2025 is gonna ROCK!!!!
Well, I can’t tell ya what I am doing, cause I don’t know. 🤷♀️ BUT! I am feeling SO much better! Still have a lot of mobility issues, but, I can work around those! But, health wise… Whatever illness had me in its grips for 2 years, seems to have finally moved on! Thank goodness!!! And Thank you Lord!
SO!!!! I am playing catch-up around here. Doing some cleaning and purging. And FINALLY trying to get this house to resemble a home!!! I am Making some business changes and shaking things up. I no longer do anything sublimation. Everything is sewing related. Planning on new items that I will be offering. I can only work standing for so long, and I can only work sitting for so long. With my ADHD… this seems to work in my favor! 😂 Or at the very least it gives me an excuse to bouncing around the shop so much and not being able to sit still!
I know I have a couple people waiting on quilts. I can FINALLY be in the shop working with my machines, so I PROMISE!! They are coming!!!! Please allow me a little more grace, and know that the fact that I do not have them done and to you, bothers me more that you realize. I am not good at communicating with you, because when I am in a position that causes me to not be able to work, I shut down. It is a symptom of extreme anxiety and depression. It’s frustrating to not feel good and not know why! For all the tests to come back “normal” when you feel anything but. To know that I am letting my customers down. And that causes me to withdraw and not talk to people. I feel as if you are thinking “just another excuse”, so I don’t say anything at all. The mask just gets to be to much to put on, so rather than pretending, I just don’t. I know this isn’t healthy for a business that wants so badly to be successful.
So, I am working on overcoming that, and will be more transparent from now on. My business is the only thing I can physically do to help make ends meet around here. It is my hobby, it is my sanity. But, more importantly… it is my job. And, now that I can actually do it again…. I am feeling much more positive and confident.
I want to thank everyone for being so patient with me. Whether it is waiting for your treasures to be completed, or waiting for a payment to be made, or just waiting on me period…. I am so thankful for the grace I have been shown over the past two years. You, my friends and customers, mean more to me than you will ever know!
Now! Here I go… into the future to see what I can sew! And to see what blessings the Lord has in store for us this year!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
