(POST POST EDIT: In efforts to slow time down and focus on my wee little ones while they're wee little, I'm taking a break from jewely for the time being. The shop will open occasionally with items already made and ready to ship. Thank you for all your support!!)
(POST EDIT: The shop will open the first Monday and Tuesday of EVERY month!! Yay! Please visit my etsy store Pamela Susan at that time to order your jewelry!)
So I've made a difficult decision. You know how I said I was going to take a small break from my etsy shop? Well, that "small" break is going to turn into a bigger break. By now you know I love designing and creating jewelry--I absolutely love it, but it takes time, and since my business has grown it now takes more time than before. Being a mother of three young children I have tried to work only at night so it wouldn't take time away from them during the day. That routine has worked for me until recently. You see, I can get a little grouchy if I don't get enough ZZZ's. And lately as I have seen them grow up so quickly I have realized that they are only young once, and I will never get this time back. Never. So I have decided to take a temporary break from the jewelry world so I can focus on being the best mom I can possibly be (it helps to achieve this with proper sleep!). I recognize in the short term I will be giving up opportunities to expand my business (I have recently turned down the opportunity to sponsor some pretty fabulous websites, which was not an easy choice to make).
With that said, I will periodically open up shop (most likely for a few days once a month). I will announce here on my blog when the shop will open, so stay tuned! In addition to the custom hand-stamped necklaces do look forward to some fun one-of-a-kind pieces that I will make in my free time. :)
So while I take this break I am going to savor these kinds of moments with my daughters:
Good ol' fashion dress up fun...
the girls playing "computer"...
bath time bubbles...
and kissing these little cheeks...
Yes, there is a time and season for everything in life, and this is my time to focus on my kiddos.
xo,
Pamela
