π I have been a bit silent last week, but I had to do some things to be able to re-start again in January. I had to close my shop until January, which is pretty sad. And not good at ALL in the busiest time of the year for small shops...
π I had just started presenting the holidays collection. And I had so many more nice plans for Christmas outfits. But it was not to be, at least not this year...
πI already mentioned earlier that I had been in hospital with ulcers. Ulcers are caused by ibuprofen, but also by stress. And when I came home, I started working again right the next day. Because that order load... I had to finish it because I didn't want to let down anyone.
πBut a week ago, in the weekend, the ulcers decided they needed to be inflamed badly too, also in my bowels. Probably because I hadn't listened well enough to my body. Then my husband decided enough was enough, and I needed to heal first.
π So even though it made me very upset, I had to cancel the majority of my orders and refund people. That was something I didn't enjoy doing, obviously. Knitting is my passion, and knowing these knits will be worn by babies all over the world is something so rewarding. And refunds don't pay the rent either. So it were a few very upsetting days last week...
πBut I already feel a bit calmer now. I will finally have time to send my brandreps new knits, from the upcoming winter collection. And I will have time to make ready to ship knits for January too...
πHopefully the whole ready to ship concept with about 10-15 added made to order slots each month will work out well, but it might. I have never tried it before, as my collection is so wide with 50 colours and 10 sizes, and lots of lots of different styles to choose from. But now I can surprise you all each month with totally new items...
πLike this new romper here on the photo, paired with a beautiful bonnet by that matches it perfectly. I made a more boyish flatlay too with the same romper, and I will place that one in stories...
