ABOUT US

I love to be always learning something new.  Never one to be put off doing something because I don’t know how to. I am old enough to remember a time before everyone had a computer. Even in high school, we learnt very little about computing. In art school, I managed to get away without really […]

Always Learning Something New

Those who are following the progress of my small business will know that last week I had perhaps the most significant product launch I’ve done to date. 12 new listings went up on my Etsy store and my own online shop.  I’m going to share with you a few of the things I learnt in […]

What I've Learnt From My Recent Product Launch

I have been daily journaling for a month now and this is how I’m finding it so far! First thing, although I’m calling it daily journaling the truth is I am not managing to do it every day.  I write most days, I have only missed one or two.  For my track record I think […]

Marketing yourself is just as important as marketing your product  It can be daunting but can be essential for small businesses like mine. If you have been reading some of my other posts you will know that this is not my first attempt to build my own business.  I have always been happiest making things […]

Marketing Yourself

I love getting ready for a new month in my bullet journal!  I start a few days before the first of the month so I can get excited for what’s to come. For long term planning I use the calendar app on my phone so my journal just goes month to month.  I list out […]

Bullet Journal for a New Month

Why I love a to-do list, there are so many reasons!  Nothing makes me feel like I’ve achieved something quite like crossing it off my list. Before bed I write my list.  Some people organise their day in the morning but I feel the need to empty my mind in order to finish my day.  […]
