Happy Birthday Field of Thread ✨

This past weekend we celebrated our 8th Birthday as a business. 😳 (crazy to think)
It gave me a lot of time to truly reflect on this past year. And it was a pretty odd one at that.🌪 I’ve experienced some of my biggest highs & lowest lows throughout of my small business journey. A lot of growth has come from it and continues to be a never ending learning process. I mean what’s the point if you don’t challenge yourself, push yourself to try new things, fail...but keep trying.

With that I wanted to share a few of our highs & lows. The highest & proudest thing I’ve accomplished with my sewing journey happened at the beginning of this pandemic. I have never felt more driven or passionate about wanting to make fabric face masks and donate them to as many people as I could. There were no days off, no putting things off to complete another day. It was draining, but worth every minute of my hands cramping up, burns from the iron & the stiff neck and back pains. To know God was with me through it all, growing my relationship with him daily & to know I was right where I was meant to be, helping in the best way I could. My highlight of my career, truly. 🌞

With that did come some of my lowest lows. I lost my creativity, my desire to work on other things. Once face masks became more available I had done my job, what was there for me now? It took a long time to find it again, and it didn’t just come back to me. I had to work for it, push myself to dive back into all the designs I had started before this pandemic. It is still a struggle at times to be in that creative mindset but I refuse to allow it to overcome me. I am surrounded by such an amazing support system who give me so much drive & motivation to keep going. To my friends & family who continue to support me & to my amazing customers who have stuck around through all the bumps & changes throughout the years, YOU are the reason Field of Thread still stands.
Peace & Love to you all ✌🏼 🥂 💚

Each package I’ve sent out over the past month has included “One” free Face Mask per item ordered and I’ve never felt more proud about sending out my orders. Hope these are helping you all out there! Send photos! 📸 😷✨
