February: A Month of Posts In Review.


February was wonderful!  Looking back through all of my posts, I felt energized, productive, and ready to meet March head on.  Here is some of what happened:

I created 2 lovely tutorials this month, and I'd love to keep the momentum going and create at least one every month to come.

January kicked off my sewing 101 project, and I continued to work through my text 1-2-3- SEW in February too, completing the 2nd chapter.  I'm gaining confidence with each new skill I learn and I'm finding that I actually enjoy sewing.

I got to make some things just because:  
1. I got creative on the theme "Month Of Love" for our February Blogging Business Artisans challenge.
2. I made a sweet little girl's birthday purse.
3. The Mr. received some lovely hand stitched V-Day coupons.

Content: This month I reestablished my love affair with writing.  Here were some of the topics I covered:

1. I discuss my passion for cooking from scratch & reveal some of my favorite recipes.
2. One Friday Finds Artist Interview was especially inspiring as artist Abernathy Parade gushes about her life as a puppet mastermind, NYC art bearing traipser, and how to live every day fueled by art and hope.
3. I get serious about defining the future of my business.
4. The great wool debate: do you love it or hate it?


February turned out to be a great month for the shop too.  My Knit Heart Brooches sold like crazy before Valentine's Day.  I ended up relisting them daily for a few weeks there.  I made a total of 13 sales, and while they were low ticket items and I didn't make that much money, I'm truly overwhelmed with this bit of success!

You had a great month! It's amazing when you look back through everything and realize how much you've accomplished. Sometimes it's hard to see that day to day.

Your tutorials have been great. I would like to start posting tutorials on my blog more often, too. I enjoy them on other people's blogs so why not spread the love a little?

I hope that March gets off to a great start for you.

What an awesome month! Both your blog and shop did great and you made so many wonderful items!
I think your new book has kicked your creativity into overdrive :)

I really appreciate when artists post tutorials on their blogs. So thank you for that. And that's great you are trying new sewing skills. Your hearts are adorable; you can probably sell them all year long! Congrats! {:-D

I think February was YOUR month--for a lot of good reasons! :)

I agree; February was a great month for you, all around. I think also that when you write a lot, that leads to more writing. I think doing so opens up the flood gates!

It's fun to see the great progress you made with your sewing projects this month!
