Back, but a Little Slower
I figured out a way to come back online and keep building and shipping. I spent several days building a package hut that now holds the packages as they wait for UPS. I'm trying to respect the Washington order to stay home as much as possible and this means avoiding trips like going to the UPS store. So now they pick up from me. It costs a little bit but it's worth paying to keep my work available to people.
I have less time to work at the moment because I am spending a lot of time with my kids with no childcare available. This is good for our relationship but means that my inventory is a little more limited now. I am able to build a little less for the moment so if you want some of my work and it's out of stock on my website or Etsy please email me and I'll put you on the list.
At any rate, the disruption that I experience is nothing compared to the difficulty that many small businesses see, not to mention the risks that many in essential jobs face. I'm grateful to be healthy appreciative of everyone buying my goods.
