Site-Wide Activity

(warning, wound up longish) 🙂

I use my FB biz page a couple of ways. Right now, connection mostly, and also occasional low-key marketing, which I'll step up a notch when I redo my website and add shopping. I'm organically and deliberately laying the groundwork for a following in the meantime, so when I do have news, there's someone to care…[Read more]

That is gorgeous @sasha1206303. I love how the colours peek through the black.

Good ideas Tara. I have had general kals but not any for a specific pattern. It's a good idea – I think I've been nervous to suggest it before in case no one wants to join in!

My latest release has gone well – it's the first time I've had a plan with social media over the time of release and included a call to action with each post. Miraculously,…[Read more]

Thanks for the replay link. I tried to view it but kept getting an error that there was no room. (admittedly I gave up after 3 tries, hoping for a replay link

Are you reading it?
I listened to it, twice in a row.

What are you learning?
I love what she says about needing to act when you're inspired. I know that if I don't honor an idea right away, it gets lost or muted. I am also starting to honor my internal rhythms. If I cannot sleep because I am inspired to work on something new or I have figured…[Read more]

Yeah, Sasha, that's what I'm using to make mine. In that color.

I had a very good show on Sunday and have one booked for this Sunday which is usually not very good, but I had decided to do just to try to sell the rest of my Christmas items. I just got a call from a customer from this weeks show ordering things to pick up on Sunday at the other show. Her order is twice the cost of my table fee, so I feel…[Read more]

Ha! How convenient!

Yay for going wholesale!
When I browsed through your colors, I though “How nice, she put the colors I like on top!” — and then I was through without seeing the colors I did not like. Love your yarns!

Regarding your thoughts on content if you continue blogging…I personally really enjoy seeing the personal side of an artist I like. Glimpses behind the curtain, so to speak. I love seeing works on progress, comments on thought process, little personal tidbits, the occasional cat-photo bomb 🙂 

These little moments are a nice way to connect and…[Read more]

As someone who just started up a new blog, I find it interesting that this is the one thing you are ready to get rid of. I started my new blog up because I'm going after a different audience. My current newsletter subscribers are in two groups — Consumers of my products and Retailers of my products. So I have to send two newsletters out each…[Read more]

Great topic! I've used 3 different VA's over the past 5 years. I'm also currently writing a blog post exactly on this topic, so I hope you check it out:) Each VA has very different skill-sets so be sure that you are clear on the type of work you want someone to do. My first VA was GREAT and could do anything I asked of her! But unfortunately…[Read more]

YAY @riin249410 I am so glad that you are doing this!! 🙂 Will you still have a color card online somewhere?

Welcome @kristan1232292 I just took a look at your jewelry! I love that brioche pendant and the stackable rings!!! My birthday is in a couple weeks so I'm sending my kiddos there to look.

You have come to the right place! I've been a starship captain for a year now and I lost focus for a long time. Tara and the rest of the captains have…[Read more]
