So a few weeks ago, I finally got the courage to put my creativity out there. Hubby has been encouraging me for months to do it and out of the blue I thought what do I have to lose. So I popped a picture of my very first hobby horse I made onto the local facebook for sale page to gage how much interest I would have in them.....
Hubby was right, people did like them, in fact I was blown away by the response. I had to turn my phone on silent as it just kept beeping and beeping as more and more people were commenting. In the end I had to sleep on it and decide what I was going to do as I was a little overwhelmed and to be frankly honest, freaking out as to how I was going to make them all.
So the next day I activated my facebook page for Milly & George and it was all go. I decided to go ahead with custom orders, to allow me to get my product out there and to try and reach the largest market I could, especially with Christmas just around the corner.
So for now I am currently sewing as much as I can, in between sick kiddies, a hubby who is currently doing heaps of extra shifts and all our other commitments. I am really trying to not let anyone down and make sure all 30 horses are done by Christmas.
I am also looking forward to next year to see where my little business may take me, I have so many ideas to help it grow. Only this morning I woke to a message from my mum, telling me her cousin in the UK who has a couple of shops, mentioned that she would love one for the window display, in the children's department and to send some business cards..... squeal
