Monday Mix Up - Hong Kong Seam Finish

Rather than bookmarking into favorites, I'm posting this discovery I found interesting for future reference. Maybe it will interest you, too. I found the cool discovery at:

I'd never heard of a Hong Kong Finish to a seam before! At Sew Daily they explain what & how in their Get The Designer Edge on Your Garment blog post. Wish I had had this information before I simply surged the seams inside the new (for me) bag I made over the weekend!

Monday Mix-up

Good morning! I hope everyone has a fabulous Monday. Go ahead, mix-up everything and learn something new today! (I found this photo by MarkHillary on flickr.com) 

I'm taking a break from writing articles for a while. So rather than me listing different websites I've found this morning, this day, for this post, I'm asking you to comment with a link to a favorite craft idea, organizing tip, something inspirational, something, anything.

Are you out there?

Just wondering!

Monday Marketing - Aha Moment

Throughout January I read at least a gazillion articles, blogs, and group comments in search of the best marketing strategies for the handmade artisan selling primarily online. I did this to share my findings on Monday Marketing blog posts, and to learn what I could apply at Lanetta’s Creations! It was a mind-boggling, confusing adventure indeed ~ until my aha moment!

This epiphany happened after realizing I was getting thrown here and there, getting more and more confused by everyone’s opinion how best to do this or that! Bottom line, the primary aspect I learned: there is not a single best marketing strategy, especially for the online entrepreneur! The question shouldn’t be: “Will the Best Marketing Strategy Please Stand Up?” as they all have great workable methods!

It’s mixing it up, combining the “this or that” needed at different times on different products for different targeted audience! This is the KEY to a successful marketing strategy! Got it!

February won’t have any specific “Monday Marketing” posts! Instead, I’m planning a “Monday Mix-Up” of different treasures found on the internet. I’ve shared new-to-me awesome sites before, and the why’s on why I find them amazing. It’s been much too long since I’ve done this! In fact, it was August of last year!

I would love to hear about one of your aha moments! I hope you'll share in the comments!

What about an amazing site I should visit and link up with next Monday? What is your favorite?

Happy Monday everyone!
