Dear clients and friends,
This is a really hard message to write, in more ways then y’all will ever know. It’s scary for me to ever have to write something like this, but it’s important to.
Y’all deserve an update and I apologise for the lack of updates the past year or longer. I was struggling in my personal life, I was working on myself. As I was working on myself there were times I dropped off the face of the earth to everyone including y’all, my family, and my close friends. I’ve had them worried for months at a time. And in that time I did not work on any suits much not even my own. The reason I included that last part is because I believe that if I’m not working on commissions it would be very unfair and unprofessional for me to work on my personal suit while not working on ones for my job.
For someone like myself, reaching out for help is one of the hardest things I could do, but I did. I have reached out to the disability office in my state and got approved for employment services. What does this mean? Does this mean that you are getting a job? No I am not getting a job. It means that I will be having someone coming by multiple times a week to help me keep on track with my business (Vixens & Co.). This means someone will be keeping me accountable in person. Making sure I am keeping my business running and more importantly getting suits done. I’ve tried phone reminders, people texting reminders, phone apps, etc. none of them have worked out, so this will help me finish up y’all’s suits in a timely manner (even though it’s been what 2 years nearly.). I have started taking my adhd medications regularly again. I have improved as a person, and now it’s time I improve with my business responsibilities.
While I can not and will not promise a timeframe anymore, I will be better with communication going forward. It genuinely makes me upset when I look at myself and see the lack of communication, updates and work that I have done. I have shattered trust that I will get things done timely, I have shattered the trust that I will keep y’all updated and I am sorry. I do not blame you if you do not trust my word, I don’t blame you if you need to write a beware, and I don’t blame you if you need to leave a bad/scathing review on my website.
I appreciate every one of you, and I appreciate y’all’s patience with me this past how ever long it’s been. I will be making sure to make it aware that I have messed up. This is a business, and I should have stayed professional, but this long without anything was not professional and was very poor on my part. I’ve made fursuits for many years, but what made me start wanting to do commissions was I got scammed by two separate makers. So to me if I was in your shoes right now, I’d feel scammed. That makes me mad that I have become the thing I was trying not to do. I will never ever ever scam anyone out of money. Ever.
None of this should be taken as an excuse in any way, I needed to update y’all. So finally, I would like to sincerely apologize that this has taken me so long. I never intended to be that maker that went dark and go years without any updates but here we are. I’ll be reaching out to each of you soon. I will do better going forward.
Thank y’all,
SB
