I decided to take a break, thinking about posts - I didn’t need much encouragement!

It was hard going in the heat to keep motivated and I happily just stopped. �But in the pause I got on with other stuff that was pretty cool…�

🌻Sunflower picking on Hayling Island.
💂A couple of days in London with Jack�
💎Celebrating the in-laws’ diamond wedding then Andy’s birthday and a family trip to the Harry Potter Studio Tour. �
💍Then, kicking off our 25th wedding anniversary celebrations, with a weekend at Withy Hut in Somerset (and a stop at the Shepton Giant Flea, which really does live up to its name), before wandering on to Manchester and then staying at The Devonshire in Grassington. (Home of a fave TV show of ours)

BIG NEWS came in Manchester, where I found out I’ve been accepted to run a Fringe event at Atomicon next July. Strange to be right there and get that email! On the hunt for venues - feel free to send me any recommendations.

Today, the 1st of September, is our actual 25th anniversary, so the champers is opening again tonight.

But it is also the start of autumn for me too, which I love just as much.�

I’m really excited to get into this final quarter of the year, as the hard work since leaving my role at Christmas last year is starting to pay off. �Just some of the things…��

⭐I’m speaking at Jennie + Meredyth 's Make It Happen Summit® September 14th – 20th. 🎤
This free event is for entrepreneurs with impatient ambition: I’ll tell you more later this week!
⭐I’m guesting on two podcasts- more details to follow�

Does your income from your craft business and what you make feel inconsistent and it stresses you out? 😫

With the autumn looming and we all know what that starts to be about when we’re a handmade business… Christmas! 🎄

Months of constant making and the calendar rapidly filling up with events. 🗓️
Before you know it you’re maxed out- no room to breather or think, 😮‍💨but making more feels like the only way.

But is it?
As a maker who was fed up hitting the ceiling of maker-sell- repeat, feeling burnt out and never any better off, there is so many other ways to bring income into you creative business.

I’ve made a video guide and workbook to show you what’s possible.

🗣️comment FIVE and the link will be in your DMs

If you design and sell your own knitting or crochet patterns, meet I've met Megan in another group I'm in and wanted to tell you about her.

Megan is a qualified knitting and crochet technical editor, working with yarn companies, magazines and independent designers to make sure patterns are clear, accurate and ready to sell with confidence.

Technical editing is one of those unglamorous but essential steps a lot of makers skip, and it shows up later in support messages, refunds and frustrated customers.
If patterns are part of your income mix, or you're thinking about adding them, it's worth having someone like Megan in your corner.

It’s time….
I know you’d rather not know and happily carry on as you are.
But knowing your numbers is not just about putting up prices.
The makers who grow sustainable craft businesses with more reliable and consistent income know exactly what they need to charge, use pricing as data to make decisions about what products will work and which ones will never make them any money.
It’s information you can’t miss out on!
Grab my guide that shows you how to price- at least you’ll know, and it up to you if you use it.

It’s not a maths problem, you know the numbers.
It’s that charging what it’s actually worth still feels like you’re asking for too much.

Let me show you that pricing is a decision you’re allowed to make from fact, not from fear of what people will think.

Comment NUMBERS and I’ll send you my free pricing guide that helps you find the facts to become more confident in your pricing.
