of positivity

being a newbie in crafts world, in my early days i sew according to my mood. sometimes i take orders, sometimes when i don't feel like it, i will just put aside my sewing kit and leave the sewing room for weeks, sometimes a month. i took sewing as my hobby and was not that serious about it. why? because i thought sewing can be a hobby, but not for me to earn a living. i mean, who would want to order a bag, every day?

silly of me

then came a day, and one particular event. where i met Mai from Okinokiyo who also attended the party as a participant. she told me about herself, and i was amazed. my view and perception changed from that day on. i activated my etsy shop (still working on the listings), and i started to get active in sewing again plus, from kak Mai's advice, i joined Etsy Malaysia team. and i couldn't be happier. she inspired me to start opening booth at bazaar. kak Mai, if you're reading this a huge huge thanks to you.

and then, at facebook i joined these two groups. and masha Allah the ladies there are so amazing. no one is taking advantage of another member. and every one is so so supportive. we can talk about anything, not just craft matters. we even had a gathering, and seriously these ladies really inspired me to become a better person and to grow more rather than just sewing for small group of customer. some of them are housewives, from professional fields they quit their jobs to take care of their family and sew. and they made money from sewing and crafting.

well, the main point here is; if we want to be a better person and to excel in something, surround yourself with the right group of people. sebabnya, kita ni akan mudah terikut dengan apa yang kawan-kawan kita buat. betul tak? so kalau kawan kita rajin, kita pun mesti akan rajin. kawan kita positive, we will be positive too. and i'm really thankful, that Allah lead me to these groups, to meet these wonderful, inspiring people and learn from them. Allah showed me the true color of one friend and yes, I was sad. tapi Allah berikan saya, lebih ramai kawan yang lagi bawa banyak manfaat.
