Hey, Maker

 

I’m SO glad you’re here!

Like most of us, knitting for me began as a hobby that soon became an obsession! From there, I started my side hustle and got more and more excited about starting my own Etsy shop. When I was first starting out on my maker journey, I listened to hours and hours of podcasts, googled everything under the sun, and read tons of blogs to try to figure out how I could take my little hobby to a successful, meaningful business. I first started off thinking I would only sell my items, then started selling my patterns, and NOW have discovered that I really want to help YOU feel like you have a maker friend to talk to about your new creative biz. In this space, I will be sharing my tips and tricks, helpful resources, maker interviews, and other things about my maker journey in hopes that I can share what I’ve learned so far. The maker community has been so inspirational and supportive and I want to give back by sharing some of that knowledge with you!

Thanks for coming along on the journey.

Come behind-the-scenes

Have you ever wondered what the day-to-day life of running a small handmade knitting business looks like? Are you a fellow small business owner who feels alone or like they don’t really know what they’re doing but are trying to figure it out and want a maker friend to connect with?

We’re in it together!

Follow the journey and subscribe to my YouTube Channel: Smeeny in the Wild where I’ll be sharing (almost) weekly studio vlogs and biz tips about how I run Smeeny Made Wild!

I’ve learned so much about running my creative business over the last 5 years and wanted to find a way to document and share more of the behind-the-scenes with you. If you’re a maker or starting out on your business journey, grab a coffee or fun beverage, your craft of choice, and let’s hang out while we make together!

Let’s go on a trip abroad!

I don’t know about you, but doesn’t a perfect weekend sound like going on a hike, eating delicious food, and hanging out with new creative small biz friends?!

You'll also get a chance to participate in workshops and masterminds that I'll be hosting on this trip and I'm so excited to connect with you IRL! 

No need to worry about the little details because I'm partnering with a travel company and local guides to create a worry-free experience so that all you need to do is be present,  relax, get inspired, and build new friendships while on this adventure!

Do you have a handmade creative business?

In 2020, I decided to start an Instagram Live series called “How I Built My Maker Biz.” During the summers of 2020 and 2021, I interviewed over 25 maker friends from fellow knitters to jewelry makers, ceramacists to sewists about how they started their businesses.
