I first met Crystal when we were pregnant with our children, on a pregnancy forum and I think our craftiness (and honest attitude) brought us together. Now, we're members in The Artisan Group and talk often of creativity and inspiration!
What do you do?
I make cloth toys & room decor for kids!
How do you maximize your time as a busy mom running a business?
I rarely have time to sit and make things in one sitting - typically, I sew for a few minutes here and there as I have time. I try to get the machine sewing all done during the day, so that I can get the stuffing & hand-stitching done at night once Sophie is in bed since my workspace is in her room. I also take a lot of small projects on the road when I know I'll be in the car for an hour or more! :)
What do you see as your greatest challenge being a MOMpreneur?
I have to always keep the area "baby-proof" - make sure pins, scissors aren't in her reach... it's a lot harder to get stuff done when I constantly have to put everything away. Some day we'll own a house and I'll have a room of my own! :)
What advice do you have for other moms looking to start a business?
Take baby steps! start with a little at a time - see what works & what doesn't, and grow your business over time!
Is there anything additional you'd like to share?
