It takes time, like WAY more time than you probabl It takes time, like WAY more time than you probably think it will to get where you dream of being. BUT, don’t give up! It took me a decade to have a sustainable business and after Covid, the backstep of everything I built was so bad I almost gave up. But, I didn’t. I kept going and I keep going every day. One of my favorite parts of what I do is sharing all the things I’ve learned about being a creative business owner so that you don’t have to spend as much time as I did struggling. One of the best and most consistent ways to get that insight and support is through Dear Handmade Life: The Club. The Club is our members-only community for creative small business owners to get: 💻Expert-led business classes 🥅Mentorship-focused group coaching 👯‍♀️Unlimited support via our members group & your accountability group ALL of that & more for just over $1 a day! Comment “MENTOR” and I’ll get you on the waiting list for when we open enrollment.

There are still what-ifs that try to stop me in my There are still what-ifs that try to stop me in my tracks daily as I try to keep building my creative business even though I’ve been doing this for more than 20 years. The what-ifs don’t go away but the way you react to them and keep pushing and taking calculated risks does. Don’t let your what-ifs stop you from joining us at Craftcation this year! Craftcation is all about—finding your people, diving into hands-on workshops, and building your creative business with a crew that feels like home (plus, there’s the beach!). We sell out every year, but early bird registration is now open with limited spots. And here’s a bonus: we’ve got a flexible payment plan, so you can choose your amount and timing (up to February 1, 2025). Friends and family can even pitch in for your ticket—hello, perfect holiday gift! Want to get to know Craftcation?
