One Year + Announcement

Just when you think you think you couldn't possibly love something more, care for something stronger or miss something harder, you can.  Sometimes it takes a loss to see that.  For me, this has never been a problem.  I love with all of my heart and I care just a little to much.  I love so much that I feel my heart and body will explode if I take on anymore.  I'm sorry I was MIA this week, I suffered quite a shock of a loss in my family. It came and went in the blink of an eye.  It really makes you see just how capable and how much you could possibly love something.  I don't want to blog about this just yet, I'm not quite ready. But thank you everyone for waiting so patiently.


Happy (belated) 1st Birthday to HASinspiration!  I intially intended to do a video blog for this one..things just didn't work out quite right.  It has been an amazing year and I owe it to you guys.  To the people that read my blog, buy my things or even take the time to look at my shop.  In time of sadness, it's important to surround yourself with the people and the things that make you happy.  That's exactly what this is to me. It is something that makes me very happy.  I am aware of all the people and locations that I've sold too.  If I could thank each and every one of you I totally would.  I feel I owe a lot to 2 specific people in my life.

My Momma.  She taught me everything I know.  She introduced me to sewing at a very young age, and let me follow her around while she taught lessons.  She continues to teach me new things to this day, and I look to her for input and opinions.  She always just seems to know what she is doing. She radiates strength and I hope to be half the mom she has always been.

My boyfriend.  He said to me just over a year ago "why don't you sell your stuff??"  I probably laughed right in his face.  In fact, I'm almost positive I did.  Of course, once he had put that idea in my head, soon enough I opened HASinspiration.  He's always believed in me.


It has certainly been an interesting year.  I have learned SO much.  It has been very slow, and very fast.  I'm okay with the slow times, it gives me time to stock up again!  Never did I think that I would be in the position I am today, selling my things to people all over the world.  People know about my things in Australia, London and in my hometown country of Canada.  I didn't know the world I had stepped into. More specific, what Etsy is able to do for a shop owner.  From labels, to shop banners..I was able to make my business something considered professional. 

I've also been introduced to a whole new world of DIY.  I made these all myself, using transfer sheets, an iron, Word, and some ribbon! Easy peasy.  You'll be seeing these labels on my new products!


So I guess I'll be getting to my annoucement now.  I'm going to be coming out with a clothing line!! I'm thinking it will just be a one time thing..not something that I will upkeep and replenish like I do my current line of things.  I'm so excited about it.  Some items will be completely handmade, and I'm also going to incorporate some upcycled pieces of clothing.  I came across this lovely floral fabric on the weekend, and I've decided that this is going to resemble one of my first pieces.

And that's all she wrote!  I'm working hard this week to get some new pieces ready for my Christmas craft and gift show.  I hope to see you there. 

Kitchener, ON at the Holiday Inn on Fairvew Rd from 10AM-4PM.


Until next time. XO
