❤️ Just a Quick Update ❤️
Following on from my machine crisis!
I Still don’t have my machines back. When they were sent to the reputable company to repair they discovered that the unreputable company that didn’t do a proper repair had actually broke a part which they’ve never EVER seen broke on these machines 😢
The part has been ordered however it’s coming from America’s Brother Depot and will be delayed due to the current Ukraine/Shipping issues. 😢
I will be back soon I promise. Thank you for the lovely messages I’ve had so far ❤️ You guys are amazing! X

Sooooo…
During the Christmas holiday’s my 2 Brother Embroidery machine’s were hanging on quite literally by a thread. Needing badly repaired.
I sent them into what appeared to be a licensed Engineer with an impressive shop.
After getting them back I was eager to get back into things (my over creative mind needs taming sometimes 🤣) . Little did I know two weeks later my machines started acting up again with exactly the same problems.
Long story short it turns after contacting the official brother company the shop I used who charged me a whopping £600 were not in fact legit and basically they did nothing to my machines that actually needed doing 😩
I’ve literally just managed on a wing and a prayer to get past my crufts orders but my machines are getting worse and I have to switch them off.
Luckily and so generously an embroidery LICENSED company has heard what had happened and have arranged for my machines to be collected by a courier and repaired for me free of charge! 🌟 ♥️ Which I’m really over the moon about. Trading standards, Brother themselves and the licensed shop are now involved too.
They have told me they are due back to me in a fortnight. Much happiness and excitement. HOWEVER after receiving an abusive message tonight because I hadn’t done a bib order I’ve just thought you know what I’m taking a break, I’m going to get stuck into some jobs I’ve shelved whilst I’ve been busy, cuddle and play with my bears more and just repair my severely low self esteem! 😩 So I won’t officially be back doing any new orders till after the Easter Weekend. Which is Making me super sad as the finished bib pics bring me so much joy (immensely so) But I need the break ♥️

Much love
Sonya ♥️

I’m still trying to figure out how to work from home and be a mum at the same time…

It’s tough.

And sometimes it can get frustrating when you are shoulder-deep in deadlines and have little people running around you causing mischief.

I’ve always known how to work hard. I’d say it’s equally my greatest strength and greatest weakness, but even after seven years of parenting, I have yet to uncover a routine that works for everyone in my home.

It’s hard to resist their cute little faces, it’s hard not to worry if they are feeling neglected, it’s hard not to get mad when they interrupt you for the millionth time, and it’s hard not to finish the day some days feeling stretched, exhausted, unproductive and stressed 😅

So earlier today I picked up a book that I used to read religiously back in the day. It’s called, ‘Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff’ and it reminded me that life is too short to obsess over what is left to do at the end of the day!

Did I do my best? Yes.

Did I give my children as many hugs as they wanted? Yes.

Did I get at least some things ticked off my list? Yes.

So why worry about the rest?

I made a decision to be my own boss because I wanted to dictate my day to suit MY idea of productivity - but I find myself quickly sinking into the very British mentality that everything has to be done a certain way, yesterday!

It’s not good enough.

In the moments leading up to what looks like an insignificant photo (the one attached), I had to remind myself all over again that I’m in control of my life, and it’s not fair to consume my thoughts with work stuff just to miss out on the very thing I work for - family.

I’m saying to you right now that it’s ok to take a break, and it’s ok to not complete every big task you had lined up.

Small goals accumulate to big ones - great things are accomplished through a series of small steps.

I heard a business coach talk about the importance of setting ourselves MASSIVE goals that aren’t easily succeeded because it keeps us motivated - I genuinely disagree.

Set yourself small, achievable goals that you CAN succeed and when you get to the end of the year, you will see that every small effort is truly worth something.
