10 hours ago by craftsanity I’m setting up my booth at the Michigan Fiber Festival in a couple days. In the meantime there are looms all over my house. I’m going to get real here for a second. I’m really tired of literally living with my business and will be deciding soon what’s next. Do I ramp up and get a proper studio, maybe with a couple inspiring and kind kindred spirits? Or, do I wind down and try something new? My loom business is growing (A special thanks to my kind and supportive customers!) and that’s awesome, but my first priority is reclaiming my
