WOWZERS! Yesterday was an insane day, but I loved it!!! :] I feel like I spent the entire day printing your Gussy orders ;] It was so wonderful! We decided to have Jessie to work full-time until we get caught up, but guess what — I’d secretly love if she stayed full time. Wishin’ and a hopin’! And {blush}, all the sales brought Gussy Sews to the front page of the Speciality Stores section // JUMPS UP AND DOWN!!! I’m only a little excited, hah!
[I even spy some of my friends shops!!! yay!]
I decided to consider this Christmas my “first” Christmas for the biz, since last year I still had a day job. I feel like I always I wake up each day and think, I have a lot to do, but then I think, YES! I HAVE A LOT TO DO :] Every hour of the workday slips out of my hand so quickly. I’ve broken down each part of the day and do specific tasks during those times so I’m most productive during each part. But I always find myself pleading with the clock for more time. Not in a bad way, just a “I love this” type of way :]
I guess when you heart something so much, this happens…?
This time last year, we had been in Minneapolis only a few months. There were a lot of, God, WHY are we here? thoughts, but through the passing of time we’re now able to look back and see a bit more of God’s plan for our family/Gussy. Can’t wait to see what else is in store.
My Press page is growing — hooray! I continue to sew ruffles and ya’ll continue to buy ’em. Sew thankful! Our red plaid wristlet is featured in issue #49 {dated Dec. 6, but on the rack right now} of OK! Magazine ~
One last thing: Remember to enter in the November sponsor feature/giveaway post, found below or click here. ♥ ♥
Wow, Maggie, this is so awesome!! And a GREAT BIG CONGRATS for being in this issue of OK! magazine!! I remember working with you this time last year on my blog to help you get the word out about Gussy. It’s been so great to watch your company grow!!
YEAH Gus & super big HUGS & Misses! Hope we can see each other sometime this busy Christmas season! Your friendship is one gift I’m SEW thankful for! xoxo
Oh my word what an amazing year you’ve had! I’m so inspired by your passion, dedication, commitment, and organization for your business. I think I’m most inspired by the attitude you approach life/work/play with :)
Thanks for sharing so much of yourself with the world!
Wow! Hearing your story is so encouraging. I am still working my day job, dreaming of the day that I can run Gingiber full time. You are so incredibly upbeat and positive! Thankful to see a nice person really making it happen!

Maggie, you have such a gift – and it’s NOT your sewing, it’s your optimism. Your sewing is amazing, of course, but it’s your attitude that makes you one of my favorites. Thanks for the inspiration, as always.
i heart your growth gussy:)
