Day 21 | Change | .
.
.
With the recent difficult times with coronvirus, so many businesses have closed their doors to keep us safe.
Let’s continue to support all these small businesses. Whether it’s words of encouragement, shares and support. When their doors are aloud to reopen let’s cheers and champion 🎉 .
.
Above all let’s do what we can to keep us all safe and our homes #marchmeetthemaker2020 #isleofwight

Day 20 | Marketing | .
.
.
Today’s prompt ‘marketing’ I think I speak for a lot of creatives that marketing is a tough one. There is so many lists of ‘do this’ ‘do that’ it’s a minefield!
For me I find that regular posts, nice images (thank you @christinetaylor.photos) sharing and supporting others is what works best for me. .

Day 19 | Packaging | .
.
.
It’s becoming more and more important to be environmentally mindful ♻️ Luckily there are so many more amazing products available to make this even easier. With recycled parcel tape, recycled paper boxes, disposable linings plus many more.

Day 18 | Techniques/Skills | .
.
.
I’ve always been more of a practical learner and I enjoy learning new techniques. I always try to continue learning, by going on courses and getting a new bit of kit and simply just giving it a go. .

Day 17 | Proud of | .
.
.
2019 was a great year for my jewellery business, truly going from strength to strength and this is something I’m so so proud of. None of this would have been possible without the amazing continued support of my customers who have not only encouraged me, but the confidence they’ve given me. Wow. Thank you all so much for helping me to continue my dream. That’s something I’m super proud of 🙏

Day 16 | Self care | .
.
.
Someone important to me told ‘take time to smell the roses’ 🌹
It really made me think, we’re all so go go go...do we really take the time to smell the roses?
Probably not. This year I’ve made a promise to myself to slow it down when I’m getting overwhelmed and literally go and smell the roses 🌹

Day 13 | USP | .
.
This prompt really got me thinking 🤔 what’s my unique selling point? I think everyone who makes something from scratch really does put their heart and soul into each piece. In return we hope the recipient love and enjoy the pieces just as much as we have making them. We are our own USP #usp .

Day 12 | Learning Curve | .
.
.
“Mistakes are lessons and lessons are how we all learn”
Every creative person will know the frustrations of not getting it right first time.
For me it’s that learning to give myself a break. It’s okay if the jump ring jumps and solders itself to the wrong place...I know how to fix that issue and make sure I don’t do it again! #marchmeetthemaker2020 #marchmeetthemaker #kilnfiredenamel #learninglessons
