Introducing myself!

Hi gang! I’m new to this group! I’m a mother of 3 boys. One just graduated college, one is a sophomore in college, one is a high school senior. I have the most adorable Rottweiler Rocky, and two cats! I am not currently working a traditional job. I like to think of myself Thea’s the CEO of my world baahaaa. If that were so I would have been fired a long time ago!

My TikTok account is thewanderingelk or @wanderingelk

I would be so grateful for some more followers as I have learned from boss suite that I can’t add my Etsy account until I have at least a thousand followers?!? Good lord I have a long ways to go!

Over the years my mother has brought me maybe 6 or 7 sewing machines (all in my basement). Recently she brought over 2 fabulous antique machine from my great grandmother that look wonderful in my farmhouse more as decor but are fully functional. My partner owns a furniture store and he started bringing home all of the discontinued fabric from four seasons, mayo, best, and so on… really great high quality fabric. So I have a free sewing machine, free fabric, what’s my issue?!?!? I can’t get out of my own way and actually make something happen.

I created an Etsy store called TheWanderingElkShop. That’s as far as I have gotten with that. I have not posted anything to it. I e started to make really nice pillows (ha! I can sew in a straight line) and these cute little chickens. So I’m thinking:

-pillows

-chickens

-New Hampshire tshirts (we have about 1000 that my partner Peter made one weekend in hopes of us going to a flea market and never went -sound familiar)

-cold brew mason jars with the wandering elk logo (Already done and ready to go)

-county signs (getting better with the cricut)

I’m literally frozen now. HELP

WHAT DO I DO NEXT? I know its in the community

How do I decode pricing? How do I get out of my own way (insert sigh here)
