{much love from Gussy!}

I tell ya, I truly love, love, loooooove sewing Gussy. Did you hear/see that I made 20 items and listed them ALL last night?! And they are selling. Sooooo. Yeow!!!

I also believe I am now booked for January with my “3 custom orders/month” limit. If you’ve got something you’d like, write me and we’ll shoot for on February. C’mon, you know you want something custom from Gussy :)

{Hello, I want something custom, and I AM Gussy. Hah!}

So many things to share…

Please check out my FAQ post if you haven’t already: feature articles, giveaways, sponsorship, custom orders and other Gussy info is all there. How convenient. Yes, I know, I wrote it. I hope I covered everything. If not, please let me know and I’ll add it to the post.

Speaking of typing the word “sponsorship” — I am accepting new sponsors for the 15th. If you’d like to become one, write me! Otherwise I’ll accept them next for January 1st. Each sponsorship commitment comes with a feature article and optional giveaway {item or store credit}. I have five sponsorship feature posts set for Wednesday {tomorrow}, and four of them come with giveaways. Sounds like you should come back and check them out… :)

Lastly, because this is certainly the most important part of this post, I have to make sure everyone knows that all the credit of Gussy/this blog/my Etsy shop goes to God. If you’ve read my blog for any length of time you know I started sewing with zero knowledge of the trade. I wanted to learn and I feel God put it on my heart to learn. I was patient, took it one day at a time, and look where it has brought me?!

All of you wonderful people, reading my blog and encouraging me daily here on Earth to keep going with it. That means so much.

I took another half-day yesterday and came home to photograph over 100 images of my Gussy products. The day FLEW BY and suddenly it was dinner time. I love what I do — I love Gussy and hold this part of my life very close to my heart. You need to know that.

If you want to do something wonderful with your life, if you want to enjoy what you do, pray about it and give it some time. Try and listen to what God’s telling you His plans are. He loves you, and I believe His plans can only benefit you :)

We are so thankful here at the Whitley house {apartment} :)

Now, let’s all find something to be thankful for today. I’m thankful for you all. If you’d like, share in a comment :)

Much love from Gussy!!!
