Thank you, thank you to everyone who helped me through my mid-blog crisis in my last post. The verdict is in, and the jury (me) decided that I am crazy! I am craving a change, but switching up my blog name or starting from scratch on etsy is not the smart way to satisfy that craving. Would I have chosen a different name if I had the foresight of the direction my shop would go? Yes. Does it really matter now? No. Honestly, I don't know what I was thinking and feel a bit silly. But, watch out for things to look new around here soon... I'm still looking to scratch that itch...
It's true- my blog name is a little kitschy now, but it is a name I made for myself so I might as well live with it!
ReplyDeleteLove your stuff!
I am so glad you decided to stick with hart+sew. I love love love it.
ReplyDeleteI have had those same dilemmas in the past. I made up my blog/shop name on a whim as it was the nickname of my eldest daughter. Many times I have contemplated a change and maybe one day I will do it, but letting go is very hard, especially after almost 5 years. I am no longer selling but if I was I can only imagine it would be even harder!
I've always love your shop name...so cheerful and sweet!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you decided to stick with it. You've already had so much success with it. I think it would have been a hard transition.
ReplyDeleteI've felt the same way, though. I hate my business name. (the B is symbolic to me of my now ex-husband!) But I just can't imagine starting all over and losing any of my valuable customers, readers, and friends.
