3 years ago, I opened my etsy shop Mouse House Creations on a whim. Several people had been asking me to do it… so I did. Within days, I started getting order after order. I couldn’t believe it! People really wanted to buy the things I make???
Since then, I have created well over 1,000 items for people between my etsy shop and my facebook page…. and if you are good at math, you will figure out that I have never been without an order on my to-do list.
Tonight, I just finished my last custom order.
Yes, my last one.
This is bittersweet for me, but also very much needed. While I love love love creating and sending out those lovely little packages, I need to go in a different direction and I hope you will understand. It is time for me to switch gears.
The shop and facebook page will still be open, of course.
What am I working on?
Patterns…. lots and lots of patterns.
*for women and kids*
perhaps there will be a few clothing sample sales mixed in?

I think this is going to be good.
I appreciate all of you for sticking around, supporting me, and just being awesome. Thank you.
