We can't wait any longer... we're beyond excited at the SweetGeorgia studio to finally announce our first ever fibre arts retreat! In this episode of Taking Back Friday, I'm going to be talking about the big idea behind the retreat that we will be hosting in November 2019. This retreat might be different from knitting or spinning retreats that you've been to in the past, so please allow me to explain.

Watch out guys, I've just finished my last race of 2018 and so I'm in a mindset of "running is life" metaphors.

In today's episode of Taking Back Friday, I'm talking about creative burnout and five ways that can help you "go the distance" in your creative pursuits. If you have ever been obsessed with an idea or business or goal, how do you progress towards that goal without hurting yourself? Let's talk about creative burnout and what we can do to avoid or prevent it.
