Another week has gone by. 🙂

Whatcha workin on?
Today I finished the props for the book fair booth (of my publisher) and send out the package. Apart from that, I did some office work and I might just postpone the rest of that to tomorrow and crochet a bit.

What’s going well?
Last week, my publisher called me about a new project. It might not h…[Read more]

That's so awesome, @karen-whooley! I read it in your newsletter. You are going to be a publisher! I love the name, too. Have you ever worked occhi (the craft technique)?

Neat @karen-whooley! And love the name/story 🙂

This is a little mini I did it, but it is going to keep me accountable! 🙂

Today in my newsletter I announced that I am going to start self publishing books. I also announced the name of my Imprint.. Occhi Blu Press. My grandfather used to sing to me a song in Italian calling me Occhi Blu (or Blue Eyes)

I just registered the DBA with the State…[Read more]

Perfect! @lisa-barnes I have a little package going out to you in tomorrow's mail!

Do you think you'll always stick to quarterly and Corrie? If not, it might be good to have an unspecific title and time and yarn as a kind of subtitle. For example:
Happy Surprise Box – Corrie Quarterly
Happy Surprise Box – Mixed Monthly
Happy Surprise Box – Seasonal Colors

Hmm. Magic Corrie Box?

Hi @linda-tieu– NICE! You know what would be cool, if it's not too much trouble? A little “hang tag” or business card size tag that my students could print out to include with gifts of their handmade items- to include something like a little knit related icon at the top, a place to put the knitter's name (handmade for you by_______), maybe also…[Read more]

Hi @karen-whooley– good point, I forgot to mention how many items I need! It's a small group, 8 total. Thanks!

@lesley-austin I use Gmail and have Wise Stamp (https://webapp.wisestamp.com/) set up for my signature. I have had many a company tell me that being able to put my face with my name helps them a lot. It is all text except for the Photo and the social media Links. I have attached a photo of it.

@lisa-barnes How many do you need? I would love to send you my Craftsy Class Postcards good for 50% off the classes I have there.

I love this topic! I do experiments – typcially on social media – which start out as more of me thinking “I wonder if I could use Instagram to drive direct sales through my website without having to do a ton of work to the site?” and then I proceed to set a timeframe and start experimenting. I can see the results afterwards, but I really don't…[Read more]

Thanks @tanja-osswald! It was pretty cool 🙂

Thanks. Just what I wanted. I may do a Ravelry bundle they can choose from.

Hi @jill-wolcott– These knitters are beginners-intermediate. They like doing accessories, and I think they'd love any of your easier patterns for fingerless mitts, cowl/scarves or necklaces. If it's easier for you, you could just offer a discount code to use for any of your patterns, and they can pick (or Ravelry gives you the option of which…[Read more]

Quarterly Coordinated Corrie, perhaps?

@lisa-barnes I'd be happy to do something. Can you give me some idea of what type of knitters? What kind of thing they might respond to? I feel like I give stuff but I never know if it makes sense. Thanks!
