Stocking an etsy shop now and then is fun to sell your projects, but constantly sewing for someone else, egh.<br />:)Dalyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06489422092942492631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248018001818356728.post-16865494188814836652012-03-22T07:16:17.102-04:002012-03-22T07:16:17.102-04:00I so agree with you.

Make what you like and the customers will follow and you'll be able to find your balance again.Dana Gaffneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02023202806714127984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248018001818356728.post-23652156246085217042012-03-22T00:37:30.965-04:002012-03-22T00:37:30.965-04:00Time to do it all just for you!Time to do it all just for you!Kathy MacKiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17036167100686615797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248018001818356728.post-82977126998678716142012-03-21T22:14:04.798-04:002012-03-21T22:14:04.798-04:00Happy day for you!

Hanging out your shingle for custom orders that aren't filling some need inside you is not conducive to the good life. And you deserve the good life. Gleyva on you for recognizing and exercising that wonderful little word of "no". I resolve to use it more often. :-)CitricSugarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580076318545974487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248018001818356728.post-10298109261266158902012-03-21T13:49:09.575-04:002012-03-21T13:49:09.575-04:00I'm looking forward to what's been on your...I'm looking forward to what's been on your wait list of things to do :)colimachiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04903718139469754305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248018001818356728.post-46779250607390626032012-03-21T12:54:07.239-04:002012-03-21T12:54:07.239-04:00Exactly right - your life, your rules!
