Ooookay- I'm going to apologize for the long winded post in advance-I have a bit to say...and I'll probably be a blathering fool (as is the norm lol)
With that being said...it is with both much sadness(, but to be honest... excitement??) that I'm going to shut the doors on Thunk&Jings for a while...let's call it a break and opportunity to recharge the batteries and look at this thing (T&J) that I love so much.
Thunk&Jings was born off of a lot of dreaming...and too much wine (a certain lady friend was there the night the name came to being lol) It was supposed to be an opportunity to use as many creative outlets as possible to make things that I love...and hopefully, that the public would love also. AND THEN...I made a bag-and another, and another...and next thing I knew...all because of YOU (thank you!) I had a product that people loved, and I loved to make...
WELL, there is only so far that different fabrics, or creating a different pattern, can take a girl on her creative outlet, and lately, I have found that being in the craft room and sewing is not really making me as happy as I would like to be...
My most, most, most favorite part of T&J is the people...all of you. Over the past 9 years of doing this, I have been absolutely BLESSED to create relationships with my customers and fellow vendors...to share stories...to create memories and laughter...I really, really have been so lucky- and the craft fair is one of my most favorite places to be.
Unfortunately, there is many, many more hours behind the machine than out with the public--and ultimately, T&J is supposed to be something I'm having fun with...something I love doing...
T&J isn't done-I promise you all that- She is my baby...something I have born and am so very, very proud of, but lately, she's acting like an unruly teenager, and I keep asking what the heck happened lol.
So-with that-I'm going to take a break...Recharge, Reassess, and take a look at what will make me most happy.
I really, really love all you so much! Thank you for the years of support, stories, laughter, and such...You really are the very best!
