As I begin a new/old life adventure career-wise, I'm also planning another adventure...an Etsy shop! Because crafts. All the crafts. All the time.
I had an Etsy shop years ago that was not successful at all. But now I'm older, wiser (maybe? lol), and am about to have a lot more free time to plan and create. I also have help in all of these things, which I didn't have before.
This isn't going to be an immediate thing; I've got to work hard to improve my talents and create an inventory. The first time around was half-assed; this time around will be professional. It is my goal to someday just have a business where I produce items and food stuffs for people that make people feel good. That's where I see myself in the future.
Creating challenges me. I love learning how to make new things; it keeps my brain moving. When I make something that's useful and unique and someone buys it and loves it...the feeling is like no other. I feel proud and fulfilled.
And that's how I want to live my life. Doing what I want to do, living authentically, and creating naturally. I want to continue to live my life in such a way that I can sleep easily at night.
So, right now I am working hard on creating more boxing glove/shoe deodorizers in fun, new patterns because of their practicality and popularity, but I will be upping my natural soap making, candle making, and over-all skin product game. I also want to work on hand-knitting, metal hammering, and overall upcycling products into something fresh and useful. Quilting will be in the works for my partner but I have zero interest in that, personally, at this time. I'd also like to learn how to basket weave! #AllTheThings
Oh boy, I have my work cut out for me.
