The past few weeks have been difficult. I feel like I’ve lost my creative mojo - everything: crochet, felting, photography.. it’s all just gone. I’ve been trying to ride the wave, knowing these things come and go, and how emotional stress and mental deflation can affect clarity. This too shall pass, right. ... October is a month full of activity, new classes at the shop, Thanksgiving feasts with friends, and all the cozy feels. I’m counting on this all to rejuvenate my spirit and bounce me out of this slump.
More help around the shop with @madeby_meag joining me on Thursdays and occasional other days and I already feel a weight lifting. The extra time to get things done, and the help around the shop is already motivating me.
I’ve been thoroughly heartened by the friends who have stepped up - to teach classes, lead stitch alongs, to work the shop, and help share the love for all the fibre arts. Jen, Tiffany, Margaret, Meagan, Lori, Ruth along with makers like Maggie, Dorothy, Helen, Noel, Brenda, Heliina, Ben, Sharon... this shop wouldn’t be what it is without our incredible community. A simple #thankyou just doesn’t suffice.
Everyone, customers and friends, have all been so understanding and patient as this shop comes together and I find the work-life balance in owning a small business. Our community really is quite special. .
This photo is a recreation of one I did a few years ago - this time with more felted pumpkins, apples, and crochet leaves. Cheers to moving forward.
