Happy Birthday Field of Thread ✨
This past weekend we celebrated our 8th Birthday as a business. 😳 (crazy to think)
It gave me a lot of time to truly reflect on this past year. And it was a pretty odd one at that.🌪 I’ve experienced some of my biggest highs & lowest lows throughout of my small business journey. A lot of growth has come from it and continues to be a never ending learning process. I mean what’s the point if you don’t challenge yourself, push yourself to try new things, fail...but keep trying.
With that I wanted to share a few of our highs & lows. The highest & proudest thing I’ve accomplished with my sewing journey happened at the beginning of this pandemic. I have never felt more driven or passionate about wanting to make fabric face masks and donate them to as many people as I could. There were no days off, no putting things off to complete another day. It was draining, but worth every minute of my hands cramping up, burns from the iron & the stiff neck and back pains. To know God was with me through it all, growing my relationship with him daily & to know I was right where I was meant to be, helping in the best way I could. My highlight of my career, truly. 🌞
With that did come some of my lowest lows. I lost my creativity, my desire to work on other things. Once face masks became more available I had done my job, what was there for me now? It took a long time to find it again, and it didn’t just come back to me. I had to work for it, push myself to dive back into all the designs I had started before this pandemic. It is still a struggle at times to be in that creative mindset but I refuse to allow it to overcome me. I am surrounded by such an amazing support system who give me so much drive & motivation to keep going. To my friends & family who continue to support me & to my amazing customers who have stuck around through all the bumps & changes throughout the years, YOU are the reason Field of Thread still stands.
Peace & Love to you all ✌🏼 🥂 💚
