Sarah: Say "bye, bye", Fiberfly!
Fiberfly: Bye, bye, Fiberfly!
I have come to realize that with a 50 (sometimes 50+) hour a week job, it's just become too much for me to maintain. It's really not the online shop aspect - it's really just the craft I chose to work with. Every time I dye yarn and fiber it is the most arduous process! Setup in my tiny apartment is incredibly time consuming and honestly - daunting. I know it is a lame excuse, but it is my excuse. And I love it despite it's obvious flaws.
I've thought about it a lot over the last two months and came to realize that I just don't love doing it enough to keep up with it... If I'm going to have an online shop and invest my free time and remaining energy into it, I want to have fun while I am doing it! (Watching Mary's passion for her shop really helped me recognize this.) I consider this a step in the learning process. I think it was a successful little venture in the sense it was my first peek into online marketing. Now, on to better things!
The good news:
- Fiberfly itself will go bye bye, but before it does I will try to sell off my few remaining wares by offering free USPS Priority shipping (free standard shipping outside the US) for any purchases made by September 12 (2 weeks from today!). Any items that remain after that time will be set aside for use in a future online shop or craft fair (I might just spin all that roving up into yarn myself!).
- A new, better, more exciting, more fun filled, more Sarah-centric online shop is on it's way! I am digging deep into my crafty little soul to figure out what I really like to do best... My instincts are telling me to dabble in a few things rather than focus on just one craft. Maybe some hand made aprons, some handspun yarn, some stitch markers, some clothing, some prints of my best photos... Let's not have Sarah get bored, shall we? It's all for shits and giggles anyway.
