🔸Future Goals🔸@joannehawker #marchmeetthemaker 🔸Every year I take a look at what I've written the year before and last year I had fulfilled all of my goals. This year, I haven't, even though there was less of them. Probably because March last year was the month I got pregnant and this pregnancy was hard af. We also renovated our house and moved in it 7 months later and then I gave birth and life with a newborn is not very conducive to creative goals achievement. 🔸So my goals for the coming year(s) are simple: family life at the center and work and going back to dollhouses ❤️ https://ift.tt/33QI1me

🔸Photography🔸@joannehawker #marchmeetthemaker 🔸I mostly use my phone, which is not great or super hi resolution, which makes not great pictures and I'm sorry about that. I don't have a phone budget right now and probably won't ever. 🔸I like to use photoshop mockups too sometimes to showcase my planners,that way I don't have quality issues! https://ift.tt/2vK1usf

🔸Self-care 🔸@joannehawker #marchmeetthemaker 🔸It's like @joannehawker knew about what was coming 😅 what better day to talk about self-care?! What better period to indulge in self-care? 🔸As a mom of a 4 year old and a brand new baby whilst being an entrepreneur, it's quite challenging to have time for myself. Right now, the closest thing I have to self-care is watching a show while snuggling on the couch with my partner. Sometimes with a screaming baby in between us(thank god for subtitles 🙏) #lookingforalaska https://ift.tt/2vZNjzr

🔸Help🔸@joannehawker #marchmeetthemaker 🔸I need your help with something. A while ago, I thought it was a good idea to have two Instagram accounts for each of my Etsy shops. But my other account @copperboom_branding has close to no followers, hugely because I struggle to post nearly as often as I do here... 🔸Do you think I should go back to one account even if it's two businesses? Or take the time and effort to post regularly on the other as well? Thanks ✌️ https://ift.tt/2TU0sTQ

🔸Current project 🔸@joannehawker #marchmeetthemaker 🔸I have a to do list of projects I want to do that's longer than me... 🔸I want to create new planner ranges for Copperboom Studios, new wedding and birth announcements designs for Copperboom Branding. 🔸I want to be more active on the blog. I also want to get back at creating miniatures and dollhouses like I talked about previously... 🔸Right now, I'm focusing on a blog post series about TV shows that's been running wild into my mind lately. I'm hoping the first post will come out within the next month or so. 🤞 https://ift.tt/2TSEhgO

🔸Learning curve 🔸@joannehawker #marchmeetthemaker 🔸My biggest learning curve since beginning this solo journey is handling the lack of time and being content with the time I got. 🔸It's been 4 years since I haven't spent a day where I can do exactly what I want, which is also called being a parent 😁 You always have to put everything and everyone else above you and your own priorities, especially my creativity and it can be frustrating. 🔸But let's remind ourselves that it's only for a short period of time that our babies will be babies and in a blink of an eye, they will be out the door! So let's enjoy it and learn to work in short increments of time ✌️ https://ift.tt/3cUf8ti

🔸Rough/mock-up🔸@joannehawker #marchmeetthemaker 🔸I often start with a very rough sketch of what I have in my head and see how it would look like as a finished product. 🔸Spoiler alert: it never looks like what you pictured in your mind. I've had to learn to be okay with that. 🔸For example, this is the sketch that I started with for my idea of Midnight Bloom that you can see a few days back, it was my #marchmeetthemaker day 1. Do you think it's far off or rather close? https://ift.tt/3aLQMAp
