My Etsy shop, will be 1 year old in December! This has been quite an interesting year, as I have been trying to juggle my etsy shop with my "real job" and with my family life.
My current "real job" is that I am a registered nurse in NY. I work in a very busy Pediatric Endocrine Practice 4 days each week. It is a very interesting field of medicine. I have been an RN for 35 years.
I watch my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter, Kate, one day each week. I love watching her.
My daughter is expecting her 2nd baby girl in November- coming right up!
My desire is to build up my new business (which includes the Etsy shop) enough to cut back a bit on my "out of the home" job. The dilemma is this: in order to build up my inventory and work on marketing, I need more time available. Less time at the "real job" means less money to make ends meet. Less money to make ends meet means I have to work more at the "real job" And so it goes, round and round....I am fairly certain that there are many Etsians that are in the same pickle!
I have 2 grown up children- Kristen (and her husband, Jay) and Brian ( who has a lovely young lady, Lesley) and let's not forget Kate.
I have an awesome husband, Ed, who has been quite supportive of me and I think he really appreciates most of the items I have made. (that's Ed up there in the corner) I don't think I could spend the amount of time I do sewing with any other husband. It was my birthday last week- can you believe that Ed and Kristen gave me a new sewing machine?? And my son sent me a very generous JoAnn's gift card!
Now that is support!!
