Some of the decisions we make in our businesses are questionable, I get it. I closed the website last Friday to do some updates; they've been overdue for a long time, and there's never a good time to shut off your only source of income. It's taken longer than I'd hoped to get back up, but it's going to be wonderful in the long run! Did I need to do it now? Probably not, but the work that needed doing was COSTING me money. 🧵 I've had my head down working so hard that, naturally, my socials have

When you're able to make a living as a Maker - not just covering the cost of materials for your next make, or paying every penny you earn back into the business - that right there is a skill and a talent all by itself!

''You'll never make a living from art''. That's what my A-level A&D teacher told me when I was 17. The only place I wanted to be was in the art studio, and the thing I loved the most was collage - I still do a lot of cutting and sticking, but I found a way to make that pay the bills! I'm Lisa, I'm an introverted, anxious, 44 year old Mum of two teens, living in a modest 3 bed 1960's semi in Sussex, UK with my husband Ross. I started my business from the dining table, with two children under the

It's a bit of a mission to keep up some days, but yes, I really do make everything in house. From designing and cutting all the tiny fabric components, to piecing them together, adding my tiny, handmade designer labels, stitching them up and then packing and posting your orders. Would it blow your mind if I told you I even helped build my website with my husband?! | The Fernery

Orders are aaalll about the Teacher Gifts at the moment 🍎 this is just one of the designs I'm making. You can tell by the state of my poor hands that we've been in Kitchen fitting hell for weeks now, one day I'll get back to pretty nails, but for now it's paint and cuts from opening eleventy billion flat pack boxes 📦 ... if you can see past that, here's a look at how I make my apples! https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMNNGYE5Y/?k=1 | The Fernery
