2022 was a year of challenges and change for me and Paws. Life threw some curve balls. Health issues, unexpected moves – you name it, it happened. Sadly that meant I had to make some tough business decisions.
One of those decisions was to work from home again. But amidst the chaos, Paws kept growing. The support from amazing customers like you fuelled my passion. Even though the cost of living crisis along with everything had derailed my little studio dream, I know this about dreams: they have a funny way of finding a way.
Thanks to your continued love and orders, Paws has simply outgrown the humble porch! Yes, that's right! I am moving to a bigger space (my old studio became available) with room to dream even bigger. It's not just about having more space to work (although trust me, I am looking forward to less dust at home). This expansion means I can finally stock more of those beautiful fabrics you love, allowing me to keep my prices competitive and offer even more variety.
Plus, with two major events on the horizon this year, having extra space to organise stock is a game-changer! This move isn't just about square footage; it's a testament to the incredible journey Paws has taken. No matter what life throws at us, it's proof that even the smallest dreams can blossom with dedication and a whole lot of pawsitive energy.
So, thank you! Thank you for being part of this adventure. Let's be honest without all of my customers and supporters, Paws would not be here.
To celebrate the opening of the new Paws HQ, I'm planning a Studio Warming event with discounts, and maybe even some giveaways! Stay tuned for details. There will be lots updates over the coming days, be sure to see the Paws Facebook page for the latest news.
Lots of Love, Jo x
