Another leap (or is that 'Once more into the breach...'?????)

Well, I've gorn and done it now - I've listed an item in Etsy - my very first quilt, for sale, on Etsy - not the first quilt I made, you understand - that's on our bed in the camper trailer - it's also very suss in terms of construction and block placement - but this first is 'the listed on Etsy' first.

So, following my bliss:

  • give up work in the finance industry - check
  • provide long-arm quilting service - check
  • teaching patchwork and sewing - check
  • enrol for Diploma in Textiles next year - check
  • selling my hand made items on Etsy - check
Now all of the above just has to start providing some sort of income over and above what I spend on fabric and my world, not to mention my dear husband, will be a happier place!

I love it when a plan comes together...

  1. Hey Ms SH - So impressed with your check-list - especially as they are so similar to my own. I am looking forward to returning learning next year in textiles and design :) Good luck with your Etsy enterprise...I must check out your 'shop'.

  4. I love your bliss list. I've one too but unfortunately need another 5 to 10 years to get into a financial position to start executing it.

    Good luck with the etsy shop. I'm glad to see you are listing your quilt at a realistic price.

  7. Oh how I wish I had a list like that right now! I have a 5 year plan though to bring something similar into play though (and #1 would be identical!) The quilt looks fab, hope it sells quickly for you :o)
