To Change or Not to Change...


Lots of thinking going on over here… Between shifts at the Hospitals, Day Dreaming, Sleepless Nights and Creating I find myself wondering, searching and pondering!

Do I take the plunge?

It’s become difficult to manage 2 shops, 2 blogs and in between all that, my Nursing Career, family, friends and just LIFE.

I’ve been searching for the answer to this question:
“Do I combine my Girls and Boys shop, create one shop and one Blog?”

PROS

Easier to manage
More time to create
Less expense on packaging, business cards and all that go along with having 2 shops
(1 is pink and girly, 1 is teal and boyish)
One Blog: I’ll be able to focus on creating a blog that is about ME, my creations & Life
Better Marketing
One stop shop
Less stress of logging in and out of both shops, back and forth
Attracting Mommy’s and shoppers who have boys and girls

CONS

I lose, well have to start fresh on all my Sales Stats and Feedback Ratings
Start Fresh on the Blog (This May be a PRO)
Inform all my repeat Customers and Hope they’ll make the change with me
Forgo all my cupcake stamps, stickers etc… Stars for the boys
CREATE and come up with a New Logo, Look and Design

Thoughts? I need some help friends!?!

Meanwhile my little brain is spinning trying to come up with a new name, new look and design… 90% sure I’ll take the plunge, but it’ll be gradual… Have to use up all my cute goodies for the stores now first!

Sew Funky Marketplace


This past Saturday, I had the opportunity to experience my FIRST market! It was so amazing, I met the most wonderful, talented and sweet ladies who also were participants of the event. It was nice to see a boutique/craft fair/market with some many wonderful and friendly shoppers! If you came by and shopped @ my booth, THANK YOU! 

Chrisitina, from little wellies hosted the event and did an amazing job! 

Thank you to my Mom who helped me set up!
