I have been where I couldn't get tied what I needed to, but always told people when they ordered that I was very far behind. It got to the point I just couldn't stand being 8 weeks and sometimes even more behind. I gave up a lot of fishing that I wanted to go do just to keep tying. It went on like that for years, way too many until I finally cut back the first of this year. Now I don't take on more than I can do and don't want to be busy all the time. Even with trying and turning down so e orders I still have been as busy as I wanted to be. Keeping people I formed is important and letting them know up front is huge!!!

in the end though the pressure and stress of being paid and not being able to send their order for a couple months is too much for me! I just couldn't take that after several years of trying!
