My first blog post!

Being new to this whole blogging thing, I'm going to take it slow. Let me start by telling my story of how I got here in the first place...

I'm from New Jersey. No, I don't identify with the show Jersey Shore. No, I never even watched Jersey Shore. I simply felt that I grew up there, so I didn't need to watch a TV show to know what it was like to live there.

My husband, my daughter and I recently moved to Georgia to follow my husband's career. Being that we moved right before winter, I was honestly happy to escape the upcoming Jersey winter. I love living in the warm weather!

While unpacking, getting settled in to a new community, and trying to find a job, I decided to open up an Etsy shop. It's something I had been thinking about doing for a while, but kind of never got around to it because I was always so busy working. I've been sewing for over 20 years, and have been knitting and crocheting for over 10 years, so I figured why not try to make some money out of my hobbies. And Stitched By Sovs was born!

I love hearing feedback on the stuff I make, and I especially love getting requests for new items. My shop has been open for a couple of months now, and while I've only had one sale, there are hundreds of people checking out my shop every month, which is awesome. I firmly believe that all good things come in time, and I look forward to my business really getting off the ground.

I'm constantly adding new items and improving the items that I'm currently selling, so check back often for news and updates. You can also follow me on Facebook and Twitter! @stitchedbysovs
