Finding My Niche



Trying to find my niche has been the hardest thing yet! I have taken some time off from crafting because I have returned to work full time. I did however find time to do some thinking.

Any time I see something cute I think, I can make that. So I start this new project. But before long, I have a dozen projects going on! Well that can't be that bad, right? Yes and No. I do not have to space or time be trying different things and trying to grow an online business at the same time. On the upside of trying so many things, I have learned what I am best at and what I have a passion for. While I will probably always attempt new crafty projects, I will concentrate on just a few things for my shop. Work on my niche! Perfect my techniques! Grow my business! All this thinking has got me excited! I have been inspired to start crafting again! I will make the time...even if it is only a few hours a week.

The things that I realized that I have the most passion for are upcycled home decor (picture frames in particular), handmade cards and mixed media word art. I am going to focus on these things for my Etsy shop. See you next time!
