Today was not a pleasant day for me. I have had a show booked for over 5 months. I thought I had everything worked out with my kids for who would watch them so I could do this show. Unfortunately it did not go in my favour. I was okay with this. Sure I was sad I was out the money I paid for my spot, I was sad about the potential sales I could of made, new faces I could of met and see familiar faces. You see, I absolutely love doing shows and being part of the community. I however love my children more. I have not had as much time as I would like for my business with the girls getting older and we all being more active.
I think after today, Kay eLle Handmades will be an online store only. I don't think I will be committing to as many shows as I once did. I just haven't had the time nor really the energy to do so. I work (hmm I guess I should write a new blog about that eh) and when I am home I want to spend the time with my kids.
I loved my day today with my youngest, we had a blast. That's what really important right now. I LOVE crafting and making things, but I just don't think I can do it as much as I once did. It has been 7 years to get to where I am at and I will still continue to work towards where I want it to be, but for now I will be dialing back in the public events and shows. I hope you can all understand that and will support me through buying online! Thanks everyone as always I appreciate all of you and all the support you have given me.
