what's going well? i’ve crossed a few big things off the check lists and am pleased to see that I'm making progress on my map despite feeling like every day is chaotic. i had a large HUGE driving challenge last friday and it went really well. I picked E up at LGA. If you've never been to LGA or JFK, just think chaos. He apologized for not g…[Read more]

Hi everyone, have a meetup to help a customer with her lace knitting unplanned holiness at 3, so thought I'd check in online . .

Whatcha workin on?
1) knittingtoday.com implementing woocommerce (today is weight-based shipping and attributes) and deciding just what I'm going to sell, etc.
2) clubknit.knittingtoday.com deciding what projects,…[Read more]

Now that I can catch my breath, it's time to turn my attention to getting my blog up to speed, and I can start doing my bit to promote all this neato-keen stuff I see here! I can do it on my FB page too…except I block myself out of FB during the day. (I could learn some self-control too, but as someone smarter than me said, “eliminate…[Read more]

Zombie thread! I just finished a show wherein I was able to use Big Cartel's app, which meant counting every skein of yarn I brought with me to load into the store before I went. It too takes out anything sold automatically, so I didn't have to re-count when I got home, which meant I could re-open the shop immediately. That's a beautiful thing. I…[Read more]

I just released Imaginant yesterday! right now on my blog, I have a 35% off coupon! I would love it if you could boost it! And it is a KNIT pattern! http://karenwhooley.com/blog/2016/8/2/imaginant

I am not sure if I am going to make it to chat today. so I decided I better check in here while I am thinking about it!

What's going well:
Getting things organized. It a little rough going because I am doing all of this as I am preparing to get my 2 kids off to college on August 12-17th. Everything gets interrupted, but I am checking things off…[Read more]

Thanks, @tara, and I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner-I was out of town, and when I got back, I swung right into getting ready for a show, so this is the first time I've been to the Starship in a while! I have gotten a lot of good suggestions here. Maybe part of the problem is that I actually *do* get to choose. My salary has been handed to me for 24…[Read more]

Comparisons, or at least descriptions of some of the workflow tools available online-MailChimp, Tiny Letter, Constant Contact, ConvertKit (and that's just mail). Edgar, Zapier; Trello, ZenDesk, etc. Why you might need one but not another (i.e., if you're just starting out, Edgar is probably more than you need for social media coordination). An…[Read more]

You could add in a printable of some kind to go with the checklist, maybe a page or two with triangles for paper bunting, they can print as many as they want and cut/assemble? Tips and tricks for making a pinata fun for everyone is a good idea, too. I love the checklists, too, especially if you style them a little to go with your branding.

You could also make them a gallery of photos of decoration ideas – how to use the things they buy from you.

Beautiful, @shelley-husband !!!

Think about something that is related to why your people are buying your piñatas. I'm assuming it's because they're having a party or celebration. So brainstorm some party planning types of things: a checklist of things to do to get ready for a party, a list of 5 things they can do to make their party a success, other recommended items to…[Read more]

Hey @dawn-craig that's great!!! Yes, now that you know your sparkle it's time to sprinkle it all over everything!

Yay, @shelley-husband, that sounds great!!

I agree, “always be working” is an unrealistic expectation, but it's one I find myself falling into, particularly on a week where my To Do list is pretty full. I've also often had the problem of filling my “working” time with other things. I can see that happen because I write down the time I spend…[Read more]
