Okay, I’m going to say this once because while I was on vacation, I opened up a few comments that upset me. One gentleman (yes, y'all read that right... a whole grown MAN) came onto MY page laughing at my work, telling me my design was way too low, that he could never take his time doing embroidery the way I do because he has 13 embroidery machines and lots of orders and has to “move, move, move,” and that he’s been doing this for 31+ years. Okay. And, sir? Do you want a cookie, bro? 🍪🤔
Let me make something VERY clear. I am a kind person. I love encouraging people. I love helping where I can. I love seeing other people succeed. But I am kind until I ain’t kind. And once you cross that line with me, I’m done. This is MY space. MY page. You are NOT going to come onto my page being ugly, negative, or talking down to me or anybody else. I’m not going to sit there and argue with you either. I’ll just block you. 💁♀️ People like that are not worth arguing with.
I don’t care if you have 2 machines or 20.
I don’t care if you’ve been embroidering for 2 years or 31+. I don’t care how successful you are. I don’t care how much money you make.
And I certainly don’t care to be better than you. I’m running MY business the way that works for ME.
I would never go onto somebody else’s page and dog their work or make myself feel bigger by trying to make them feel smaller. If you’ve been doing this 25+ years longer than I have, GREAT! I would hope you’d use those years of experience to encourage somebody coming behind you instead of trying to tear them down. And if you’re here just to be negative, steal my pictures, steal ideas, or watch everything I do so you can criticize it, leave. 👞🪰 Skedaddle✌️ You don’t even have to wait for me to block you.
I want this page to be a place where my customers & fellow embroiderers can come watch, laugh, learn, share, be transparent, ask questions, make mistakes, celebrate wins, and BE THEMSELVES. Beginner? Come on. Been doing this for 30 years? Come on. One machine? Come on. Twenty machines? Come on. Still trying to figure out how to thread the thing? COME 👏 ON 👏 😂
I don’t care what you look like, where you come from, how successful you are, or whether you’re still trying to get there. If you’re KIND, you are welcome here. 💕
But I will NOT allow this page to turn into a place full of negativity and people trying to make others feel less than. Dude… I thought I was done dealing with this kind of stuff when I stopped teaching 8th graders. 😂 Y’all, we are GROWN ADULTS. This is sad. I shouldn’t have to tell grown people to be kind to one another.
And to those of y’all who have jumped in and defended me before I even SAW some of these comments… y’all are something else. 🫶🥹 I’ll open a comment for the first time and y’all are already in there having my back. 😂 Y'all don't know how much that means to me.
Just remember this about me. You get one chance to show me who you are. I pay attention to how people treat others. You can be the most talented, successful person in the room, but if you’re ugly to people, I lose ALL respect for you.
So the rules around here are pretty simple... be kind or leave. I’m trying to keep my little corner of the internet clean. 🩷 And ugly hearts and ugly attitudes just aren’t welcome here.
