So, I'm going to refurbish and revamp my entire handmade business over the next month. I'm going to be taking down almost everything and making entire new stock. Over the last few months I've realized the way I make things is really different then it was two years ago. My style has changed, and now my shop needs to change.
It feels good to say it, and I know this is the right direction to go. It's going to be really hard to start over from the beginning, but I know if I really want to start a shop, and have it be successful, I need to take what I've learned in the past two years and my new sewing skills and give it my all. My Vintage shop, Kitty Adventures, made $300 all by its lonesome last month! This is great, but Silver Moon Creations is lagging behind, with a total of...only one sale.
I can't have old items I made a year ago floating around, and I can't post things that aren't 100%. And that means letting go of the past. And moving on. And not giving up!
Everything in the shop is 50% off right now, excluding made to order items! Just use code "lettinggo". This coupon is good until 6/1/13.
Starting in June, expect to see a whole new shop. I'm excited. And, of course, I hope to release my beginners sewing book next month too!
What have you let go of recently?

I know what you mean! I'm thinking about phasing out the cozies in my shop...I've only sold three in 2012 and 2013 so far, and I think it's time for them to go. I'm not going to keep up with the latest cell phone trends and make my pattern fit them. I don't even like cell phones! :)
I'm not putting a whole lot of effort into my shop right now, and then I wonder why I'm not selling anything! Ha.
Good luck with your creative renovations! I can't wait to see your "new" shop. :)

That's a brave thing to do, but it sure takes wisdom to be able to recognize that about stuff that you've made yourself. I'm excited to see what you have coming for the shop!
