@riin-gill, try clicking on the Aa next to the font name. That should make a drop down menu pop up (unintuitive, I know).

@tanja-osswald I downloaded it, it said it was importing my fonts, but when I opened it, it only had one font, Sans. It had just a text field where the one font was. No drop down menu. I tried just changing Sans to Calibri in the text field, but it didn't actually change the font of the sample text I was using. ???

@jill-wolcott Oh, no, I totally understand! Thanks for the suggestion and the resource reference.

@lindsey-spoor this is kind of the problem with small businesses: They consume us and since we think about them all the time, they become our most important topic of conversation. Are you on the LYSO thread on Ravelry? I bet dozens of owners have had this same experience. I'd love to help, but I'm afraid I'm too busy to be as supportive as I should be.

I'm no expert on this but have you tried Gimp?

@jill-wolcott, I do. It kind of helps, especially with my more local friends, because I don't necessarily always have the perspective that they do (we've only lived here for 4.5 years, and they know the area/market really well). I've bent folks' ears an awful lot about the situation/shop startup, though, and I'm worried about straining friendships…[Read more]

Oh @lindsey-spoor, that is so horrible! It is really hard to get that out of your head. Do you have someone you can vent to? I've found talking it out is the best way to minimize the impact.

What's going well? I had an amazing sales day on Tuesday, and I'm playing with my Instagram/Facebook posts to get feedback on what my Right People like to see in posts (with pretty good success).

Whatcha working on? Everything? Seriously: shop samples/swatches. Website. Online shop. Figuring out my marketing priorities leading up to the grand…[Read more]

@donna-jones Thank you.

If I have an up turn in Instagram followers it's always because of something I've done, or somebody else that I've engaged with. If you can work out what it was, make a note, and do it again.

@donna-jones Thank you.

@donna-jones Thank you.

Thanks, dear!

I'm so sorry to hear you are dealing with health issues @tanja-osswald.

I'm glad Joeli answered because I had no idea this was even a thing 🙂
I say – stick with the feelings of pride and confidence it gave you, but don't go with the people, since it seems like you don't really want it!

Ugh! I'm so sorry you're dealing with this! I ditto Tanja and Karen – keep trying to contact her and make another plan.
