When I’m working on orders for my shop, I live by the "Assembly Line" method. ​For these dragons, it's: ✅ Heads/Bodies ✅ Legs ⏳ Wings & Spikes 🐉 Final details ​It saves so much time compared to switching hooks and yarn colors constantly. ​Do you produce multiples at once? What’s your process for staying organized?

I have been crocheting a while now and have tried so many different methods for tracking orders and projects in the space that I have, bins has been my solution. I pull the yarn, po, & pattern or notes and put them in the bin. I sort them by due date and work on them one at a time. What processes do you use to keep track?

One of my primary focuses within my business is creating multiuse sensory and fidget toys. As I develop that skill, I havent vlbeen so much focused on CUTE, so much as functionality. The first picture is the 1st rouge design I made. She is super simple, fits in one hand, has bead play, multi textured hair, Google eyes and is weighted. The second picture is one i was inspired to make yesterday. Again, he's not so pretty and he is in development stage. He is weighted, has faux fur hair, bead play mouth and jingle head. He will get more tentacles in different yarns and crinkle ears. As I start writing new patterns of cute puppies and the like, I will begin to incorporate more sensory play, but these are unwritten mindless fun at making things for sensory play. What have you made that was part of your unique vision starting to blossom, but not exactly full of beauty?

I struggle with the idea that I have to have the proper set, the right camera, perfect background and all the jazz so that I can keep up with the next guy. The thing is, I've always been unique. I want my customers, students and friends to see that I am just person, following a calling with a God given talent to create and make people smile. I don't need perfection to do that. As business, I often feel pressured to conform more to the ideals of others and that just not me. This is why I struggle to show up 100% authentic every day. Today, I choose to start shedding the belief that I should conform as a business and choose to just show up authentically as me.
