The podcast is taking a short break throughout the rest of July and August to give me chance to catch up on all the episode ideas I have planned out. And of course, take an actual break while the kids are home.

I hope you have a lovely, relaxing Summer and I may pop back in with some bonus episodes for you (if my kids stay quiet enough for me to record haha!)

In this post, I am answering some questions that I got on Instagram about starting and running a craft and/or cross stitch business.

As always, these are just my own ideas and opinions and if you don't like them, you do you and just ignore. But hopefully, you find a nugget of helpful information here.

This episode is a bit different from my others, and I'm sharing my thoughts on the importance of cross stitch and community. And I am also asking if you have any stories about cross stitch that you would like to share right here on the blog. If you are interested you can sign up here and I will be in touch.
