I have something to tell you all... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

yougetthesmiles · 06-05-2007, 07:23 AM

After pondering this for many days now I have made a very hard decision.

I will no longer be taking custom orders. I will only be sewing and selling what I make when it's convenient for me.

I work full time 7 days a week taking care of 2 elderly ladies who have Alzheimer's. The stress of working and sewing is just starting to take a toll on me. It's not fair to my family, My Yorkies or me.

I will be finishing up my orders and then I won't be taking anymore. I still will sew and offer you what I make at a great price. I still love sewing and making these cute outfits. But I'm just under to much pressure and the stress is really starting to build on me.

Hugs,
Missy

Of course your right in making such a decision. Why add unnecessary
stress to your already hectic life. Enjoy life, it's too short to begin with.
Your very talented Missy and I wish you well. You can sew when you fell
like it. Enjoy your family and yorkies to the fullest extent.

Awwwwww Booooo !! i totallie understand i'm sure it's alot of work & stress on just one person !! You are making the right decision hun !! no worries it will get better soon i promise !!

chattiesmom · 06-05-2007, 10:16 AM

Missy, I can understand where you are coming from. Running a one womanS Custom Sewing Operation while holding a full time job and taking care of a Family can take it's tole. I wish you the very best in all of your endeavors both present and future.

Will you be offering "ready to go" items for holidays, etc.?

Rudys Mom · 06-05-2007, 10:24 AM

Missy, " Hi "

I can totally understand your decision. Life is too short as Carol said and living it stressed out is not good for your health. Take some time and smell the roses as the saying goes.

Sukoshi's Mom · 06-05-2007, 03:42 PM

I think it's safe to say we all understand Missy. You're right that it's not fair to your family to be stressed all the time - just because you feel pressure to do something that you no longer enjoy. Take some time away, and go back to sewing as you get the urge. Your products will be that much more beautiful and filled with love when you do it that way anyway, and we'll all be there chomping at the bit to snatch them up when you post a thread!

Ohh yes!!! I will def keep sewing! But I just won't be under so much pressure, I will be able to do it as time allows me.

I'm such a big outdoors person and we love to camp, so I look forward to taking the girls camping for the 1st time this summer! I know they will have a ball!!

I just have to be the one in charge, I can't let the sewing be in charge!

Thanks so much everyone for understanding!!!! This is why I love it hear! I can ALWAYS come to you!!!! I have made so many truly wonderful friends here!!! And even met a few in person!!!

simonandhallie · 06-05-2007, 06:39 PM

Of course we understand Missy! You have to take care of you first

I think you are wonderful to make this decision!!!

Tinkerbelle1 · 06-05-2007, 06:56 PM

I never had the pleasure of purchasing anything from you but I am sure your work was excellent. Family and Health come first.
