It’s big and scary and I don’t wanna!

Ever want to wave a magic wand and have all the hard stuff done?

I’m not good with networking, or people…. I can talk about corset and dressmaking for hours. Now I have to talk people into helping me, I don’t even like asking my husband for help!

I really wish I could just sew, and all the business side magically does it’s self. I know I’m not the only one who feels that way. So this week I have put on my big girl pants and talked to people! I have messaged a photographer and models, (I was only a little nauseous after) and I have made a start at a cash flow projection.

On a happier, less out of my comfort zone I have also started working on a 20 panel corset for my dress-form. I will add pictures of that later.

So whilst it is all very scary I am not giving up!

Milestone Resolution.

Have you every looked back on your life and thought “Well that’s disappointing”?

I turned 40 yesterday! I have spent my adult life looking after other people, my Husband, my Children, my Family. I want something for me.

So this blog is about me, about my journey to starting and building my own business. I don’t know what I’m doing and no doubt I will make mistakes but I need to try.

I have been sewing for as long as I can remember, I find it calming and I’d like to think I’m good at it!

I love Corsets! I love how they look, I love how they feel. I have never met a person who, when putting a corset on for the first time, doesn’t instantly put their hands on their waist and “Ohhh!”

So…. I have a name, Stray Goddess. I have a web domain, straygoddess.co.uk. I have a Plan (sort of).

Wish me luck!

A New Beginning

I sew!

I don’t know how else to describe myself other than, I sew. It calms me, it helps the world make sense, and my children think I’m awesome because of it. 

I’m not a writer, and I’m not sure I can blog consistently or coherently but I will try!
