I'm in!

Whatcha workin on? Just in-hand orders and a few “on request” embroidery designs and lessons.

What’s going well?
Well, I guess the flexibly part of my business is what is going well. Our house went under contract 2 days after it went on the market but my business life feels completely on hold because of this whole selling the house process.

@penny-shima-glanz, Ayrton is gorgeous! I want to grab the pattern and start it immediately for spring! My systems need fixing for my design releases too. I think I'm on more social media than the last release where I was not active on any!

A one hour nap morphed into 2.3 hours! I even had an alarm set to wake me up fifteen minutes before chat! Guess I turned it off in my sleep.

What's going well?
I released a new pattern on Saturday!

What I'm working on?
I'm still working on three afghan samples. I'm working on blogging daily.

How can you help?
I'm good for now. Just a little sleepy!

Love your paper stitches, @jill-wolcott!

Yes! Amy!

That's it! Amy Crook is always right! Quarterly Sock Restock it is!!!

That works for me!! 🙂

I would stay away from “box” perhaps, because to me it implies that it's a single “thing” at that price point, and as a retailer trying to sell one big thing is always harder than several little things. I know the intention is that they break it up and sell the skeins separately, but “box” makes me think of those “mystery box” subscriptions that…[Read more]

@karen-whooley, Shall we start a thread? that way it will be in one place?

I'm trying to think of it from a store point of view. What makes it easier for them? What words convey that? Like, Quarterly Corrie Sock Supply Set? Quarterly Superfun Supply?

Awesome! I'll get an envelope out to you this week.

Thanks for doing that post @penny-shima-glanz. Didn't know about your father, so I now see what that stirred up for you. I've just got one thing to add, well, maybe two:
1. Say anything. Even if you just enjoyed Vanessa on chat, say something. Whenever there is a trauma, people say nothing because they don't know what to say. Saying nothing is…[Read more]

@jill-wolcott YES! Im in!! I could use all the support I can get!

Whatcha working on?
I’m really excited about some things that I’m exploring. Less excited about other work.

What’s going well / on?

I have done most of the things on my list pretty consistently for weeks. I continue to not do all the stuff I need to do on house prep, but maybe I can turn that around.

I started making little post-its for all m…[Read more]

Hi @jill-wolcott– I have 8 students attending, so 8 of each would be great. Thanks!

Hi @linda-tieu– I'm not sure which format is better. Probably something that they print out and write in the info. But if you do it as a pdf template, they could do either, right? For size, I'd suggest something that could be easily cut from 8.5 x 11″, so maybe two across and three down (so 4.25″ x 3.6″)?

@penny-shima-glanz I'll put it in my newsletter too.

@karen-whooley let's start a support group for self-publishers. I'm doing a book that is more a reference book than a pattern book, but we could provide support!
