Site-Wide Activity

I'm joining in with my first check-in, hopefully the first in a consistent series 🙂

Whatcha workin on?
This month, I'm focusing on growing my IG audience, hopefully to use that to increase newsletter subscribers down the line, and to see if IG can be a good source of promotion for my designs and my TE services. So, this week, I'm aiming to be…[Read more]

Hi Dana, the company would purchase to use as free download on their website, they purchase full rights indefinitely, I can link to their patterns but I cannot publish anywhere, they supply yarn , they will provide photography and will publish pattern in PDF form, they will own rights to photos of designs and allow designers use of images with…[Read more]

Will the yarn company have exclusive rights to the pattern? For how long? Will rights revert back to you? Will they be able to distribute it for free in perpetuity? The longer and more exclusive their rights are, the more compensation I would want. Who is responsible for tech editing and photography, you or them? When rights revert back to…[Read more]

Thank you, @dana-gervais! #morningplay has a nice ring to it.

So glad everything went well, @riin-gill!

And all the best for your mom, @jill-wolcott! Don't forget to care about yourself, too, in such tough times.

Thanks, @jill-wolcott!

Congrats to your etsy shop, @deeann-ross! There will always be a ton more things to do but you started!

YESSSS to what Jess said!
I talked about determination at my 1 year anniversary of self-employment here:
(Baby Tara!)

I'm gonna repeat what I said in chat for anyone who needs to here it:
Make lists of what you need to pay for (all bills, including groceries and gas and things you don't want to give up)
*Journal about how long you're…[Read more]

Well @riin-gill whoo hoo on the audit survival! Yay!!!!

Can you contact the dealers who sold you the fake stones? If not, can you use them for lower-end pieces? I might be tempted to contact whomever puts on the show and ask them what the hell?

Whatcha workin on? What’s going well?

I survived my audit! She was here for about an hour and 15 minutes, looked at stuff, asked questions, entered stuff into her computer…and then she said we were finished and I would receive an automated letter next month saying no adjustments were necessary. Yay! I'm so glad that's over!!!

After she left, I…[Read more]

@deeann-ross Well done with the Etsy shop. I find that brain dumps and mind maps are my best friend when I'm feeling overwhelmed.

@deeann-ross everyone's heads are always spinning! I think it is learning to do it like a ballerina so you don't get too dizzy.

I opened an Etsy shop this week, well I only have 2 things in it cause I just needed to show Spinolution that I had a shop. Now I see there are other options. I think I might just stick with my Wix website for the farm. My head is spinning with so much to do. I just feel like I don't know enough and don't have enough time to figure it out. LOL

I'm planning to attend TNNA, but I'm not certain of which days yet. I'll most likely stay at a friend's home to save bucks on hotel but I'd love to meet up regardless of my accomodations 🙂

Wow @dana-gervais!

Thanks @dana-gervais. I have a big appetite! We are scheduled to go to a concert/show tonight with friends. I have my Pilates classes twice a week, and I made sure that running is not getting cut out of my schedule right now.

My word for this year is Jazzed and if I do things I'm jazzed about it really helps keep me motivated.

What's Going Well? I opened my very first ever online course for enrollment. It's a 5 day challenge called #SockVirgin to help knitters knit their first sock. My goal was to have 15-20 knitters enrolled before the May 31st deadline. So far, several hundred knitters have signed up. There will be many more sock knitters in the world on June 5th!…[Read more]

(((hugs))) to you and your Mom @jill-wolcott. You have so much on your plate right now, I hope you remember to make time to look after yourself. You're productivity always amazes me.

What's going well
Things are moving ahead. Mitch told me I'm taking some really good photos (I know only some are, but I think at least more are good). A major distraction as my Mom took a turn to the worse on Friday and we spent all weekend wondering if this was the “terminal event”. She rallied and was so chipper yesterday when she was being…[Read more]
