The last couple of weeks have been so hectic, but finally the stock is almost all organised.
Just trying to arrange insurance now that will cover everything I need !
The trouble is, now I have time to reflect on my position, its throwing up all sorts of un expected questions.
Firstly - I now have the time to spend with the children that I was missing while I was at the shop - but can I afford to be a stay at home mum at this moment in time ?
2 - How will I ensure my customers from the shop find me and visit me at home ?
3 - My garden isnt the best kept in the street, so how will customers react to that if they visit me at home ?
4 - I have so many ideas for my Craftyhobbies business, with lots of potential - but where do I start ?
5 - I can see what items I sell most of online - But can I be brave & sacrafice some categories so I can target those areas when I havent fully established my webites online presence yet ?
6 - I want to get back to being creative again for my self and am hoping to join the volunteers at the next Royal Opera project - I also know that I could use this in many ways to boost my business - but where will I find the time to work on both ?
7- Do I want to continue with my craftyhobbies website at all - I know it will be a long and up hill battle, with little or no gains to begin with ?
8. What are your thought or suggestions please ?

Hi Jane, some great questions here. How did your customers find you before? Where else do they tend to 'hang out'? Could you perhaps do a big launch event - either physically at your house or virtually online and use that as a way of getting some publicity out there? As for the garden being a bit wild - I would be upfront about it in a positive way! Be you, authentic! I did this recently in my About me page - see what you think http://grace-marshall.com/meet-grace/
thanks Grace - I will have a think about that and let you know how I get on .
