7 Years Of Blessings & Unfinished Projects 

As made-to-order requests kept filling my time, I started so many unrelated, unfinished projects that I've lost count. I never could finish what I started to build an inventory as I repeatedly sought ways to diversify. I'm constantly seeking a new product to display. Unfinished projects instead became my outlet to maker's freedom, while the custom orders and made-to-orders brought views and customers. Having a shop doesn't really get exciting until customers show up. Since I practice a slow-making craft I know I have been blessed by so much patience from others. On a realistic note, artistic motivation comes and goes like the wind. You keep at it as you fill up on cheap cappuccino drinks, you know the instant powder formulas. 

2012 was my 2nd year on Etsy and also the beginning of amiamipets blog. There were so many dogs to make and share. Presently, I miss making my dogs. I had a variety of listings then: 

September 2021 marks my 10th year since 'Byesh' opened on Etsy!  Travel down my memory lane. Starting off with the first year, 2011 to 2012, I've pulled up listing photos of some of the items from that year. Some things sold and many did not. One item that sold was a pink sweater and I miss it so much. Wow, what a blessing it is to look back now.
