The She Shed 6/2/24

It all begins with an idea. I retired about 2 years ago from an almost 40 year career as a medical laboratory scientist. I had for quite some time dreamed of having a dedicated sewing and crafting spot to do what I loved. And what could be the more perfect spot than a She Shed just outside my back door! Right? My husband and I outfitted it with all the bells and whistles - including chandeliers. Flooring, shiplap walls, hand stained wood plank ceiling, and the perfect furniture to complement the space - the whole nine yards. I started sewing, quiIting, and embroidering everything under the sun - trying every new thing. So what do you do with scads of extra products? Start an Etsy shop, of course! I never thought I could or would become an entrepreneur. I never even liked selling Girl Scout cookies when I was a kid! But I powered through all my fears to start the Etsy shop, start an LLC, register with the local and state authorities, etc. It has definitely been a whirlwind, but also such a blessing to be able to make what I love and to be able to make what someone else can also love as well. Proof that you’re never too old to do something new.
