Hello friends, I have been busy with work and my crafty life with getting ready for the holiday market I am participating in soon. I have been creating fun ornaments to add a festive feel to my display this year. I will have them for people to buy as well as for decoration. I think with all the talk and reality of supply chain issues for products out there right now, supporting handmade small businesses is key. Get yourself some things from small businesses and make your gifts unique and extra special for those special people in your life.
I will tell you that it has been a little bit and for me to really get into the holiday spirit this year. Trying to keep a positive attitude has been difficult at times. The whole negative vibe that has been going on and still continues is hard to take. I have though been trying to immerse myself in my craft and trying to focus on the things that make me happy and positive. My love of color and crafts especially with the fiber arts has been what has gotten me through so far and will again.
I pose this question out into the world. What makes you happy and brings you joy from the negatives around in the world today?
Something else that makes me happy is to help causes that I believe in. So these past few months I have rebranded my business with a marketplace that I can truly get behind and I hope more people will support. It is called goimagine. They not only want to support true handmade businesses to succeed on their marketplace but want to build a community that is positive and uplifting and the big part is they are giving their profits to children in need charities. For me, that sits right in line with my vision for my business which is making connections with my craft. So I started my business on this marketplace a few months ago and I have my own site through their help where you can go and purchase from nexusknits there as well as on my Etsy shop. I hope people will join me in supporting this mission and me by purchasing through my shop there. You will be helping to support a cause that really makes me happy to support as well.
My website is http://www.nexusknits.com. Let’s bring some joy and love to the world this holiday season instead of hate and negativity. Support small businesses and in turn you will do more good then you could ever know. Sending love and peace until next time,
