#MarchMeetTheMaker Day 3: Planning I use the planner by @clairemitchellcoach every day for planning everything, although not everything goes as it should 😆. Unfortunately Claire isn't going to produce the planners any more so if anyone knows of any really good ones that they use please let me know for next year. I use my planner as a diary first and foremost and it remembers things that my brain doesn't! It helps me track my progress and is extremely useful for event planning now that we are able to go to events again. Things don't always go to plan though and that is usually when I don't follow my planner and go off track as in a few weeks ago. I am getting ready for an event that I collaborate at with my daughter. She is a Freelance Illustrator and has been doing some designs for me that we have printed onto fabric, I then make items which we sell on her table with her Art prints. Several hours of planned time were wasted because I didn't follow my planner! I spent precious time doing something that I later found out someone else had already done! I was not best pleased when I found out and more precious hours wasted along similar lines with the same someone involved, which has resulted in me being behind in getting everything finished for the event! Moral of this story Stick to the original plan! #marchmeetthemakerday3 #marchmeetthemaker2022 #planning #marchmeetthemaker @joannehawker #smallbusinessuk #smallbusinesses #cornishsmallbusiness #angryoldwoman https://www.instagram.com/p/CapFtHxM_X9/?utm_medium=tumblr

#366days day 63, #marchmeetthemakerday3 todays theme is Time and this is something I always seem to be short of. I save time in my making process by setting up a sort of production line in the form of my ice cream tubs. I sew in batches and each ice cream tub is home to an item with a recycled paper tag with its details on it such as size, materials cost and fabric content. Then each stage of the process is done at the same time so that I am not changing threads, machine feet or sewing on buttons at different times. #marchmeetthemaker #zoknitandsew #timesaving #savingtime #handmadebusiness @joannehawker #sewingroom #sewing https://www.instagram.com/p/B9RGc6XFNFj/?igshid=1gq5x801ylyzl

#marchmeetthemaker day 3 #flatlay This is a re post of one I made earlier! Flatlay looks lovely when done by the professionals but to be honest I don't have the time to go faffing about. The majority of my products are sold at craft fairs/events where people see the actual item so when I post photo's it is generally for my online stores or just to give an idea of what the product looks like. #marchmeetthemakerday3 @joannehawker #zoknitandsew #giftbags #bunting #hairscrunchies #sewing #handmadecrafts #handmadebyme #handmadebusiness (at Millbrook, Cornwall) https://www.instagram.com/p/BujBXduls4y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ttqboc9yxy7x

#Day3 #MarchMeetTheMaker2018 #HowYouStarted My parents signed and dated my first drawing, "A Sleeping Snail", when I was 18 months old. I went through a brief Picasso period, yet horses have been a favorite subject to draw throughout my life. By age 7, I was mass producing and selling yarn and pipecleaner cats at my bowling league between games. I had a miniature traveling store front, and I charged 75 cents a piece. I learned how easily you can saturate your market. I attribute my early creativity and entrepreneurship to my extremely supportive family, who always made knowledge and art accessable to me, as well as being unschooled, and being surrounded by an exciting and diverse homechooling community. #marchmeetthemaker2018 #marchmeetthemakerday3 #homechooling #unschooling #artistsofinstagram #olddrawings (at Syracuse, New York)
