Its been over a month nearly two months since i last blogged and believe me you have no idea how bad i feel….
The guilt i carry around for not blogging for not keeping you all updated has eaten me up because i know that you care..so forgive me..
This has to be one of the hardest posts i have ever had to write because its so personal, i hope that you will not judge nor critize me for what i am about to say
Change
As we get older we realise that life is all about adapting to constant change in our lives. Some changes are good and some are not so good we just have to make the best out of every situation and move forward in achieving our goals.
The support i got from everyone simply blew me away my family, friends and even strangers were so happy for me. Got calls from the media for interviews, increased visits to my website and not to mention the increase in orders was simply unbelievable.
However that meant a lot of work needed to get done such as
finding the next trend to prepare the next collection, new fabrics, new products etc
choosing fabrics, cutting and making the products
taking pics of the products and launching them on the site
promoting on social media (blogging, tweeting, on FB, YT ) and locally by attending bazaars which means more sewing
I could go on about other things that need to be done, and as much as i loved doing them, it was too much to handle for me and i decided to take a break. And by break i mean a loong break to figure out the path of SCU which will mean hopefully hiring a pair of hands to help me manage it all.
This under no circumstances means GIVING UP, because if you know me well you know that this word DOES NOT exist in my dictionary.
I am a perfectionist and as much as i like that trait about me it makes things difficult because i know that i can doBETTER, hence why i am taking a break to come back bigger and better!
Through my blog i will continue to share tutorials and inspire and push you to follow your passion because i believe that we all have it in us, and deserve to do something we love.
Once again i thank you for your support on my journey to achieving my dreams because i simply wouldnt have done it without you.
