Hi 👋🏻 hard to believe it’s almost been a month since my last post. Usually in March, I am participating in . But it’s been a little crazy and I had two months of orders that really kicked my butt. The struggle made me realize that some things needed to change on top of what we were planning for this year....
First change coming: we will be moving out of Arizona in the next couple of weeks. I just have to laugh about it now but 20 months ago, I was so excited to move out of Rexburg, Idaho. Felt like I had been there too long. But we are on our way back there! 😂
Second, I am officially enrolled back at BYUI 🎉! Covid quickly made us realize that we need a plan B and what that needed to look like. I am excited to further my education, also nervous but I have a great support team at home.
Lastly, I am taking a step back from Stitch My Heart 💔😭
Because of my rough pregnancy and then the arrival of little Portland, my time has been spread really thin. Running a small business on your own takes so much time. And I really thought that it would get better once the pregnancy was over and I had more energy and my hands started working again but instead a different array of responsibilities took over my time... cuter responsibilities, for sure. I also have some goals for myself. I want to be more in the moment and intentional with my kids. Truthfully too, having a baby really kick starts you into that. I think I was kidding myself when I thought I would still have 75% of the same productive timespan as I did before Portland arrived. I want to be less stressed which is always a good goal. I want to get through college successfully. I plan on continuing to stitch in my own time and posting my pieces but not trying to sell myself so much on social media.
I really can not thank you guys enough for all the love and support you guys have showed me. I have loved creating pieces for you. It still blows my mind that people loved my skill enough to buy artwork from me. It has given me such a confidence boosts over the last three years. On top of helping me support my family. My love goes out to all of you! Thank you so very much ♥️
