↟a weekend in Montana! and chat about the trip that started my business journey 7 years ago
Come with me to Iceland! trovatrip.com/trip/europe/iceland/iceland-with-chereen-leong-schwarz-jan-2025 Last day to book is 11/25!
Sometimes I think back and it's so crazy that one decision can change the course of your life. When I went on that trip to India in 2017, I never could have dreamed that it would lead me to quitting my job and starting my business. That trip was so impactful and it led me to wanting to host my own trips for other creatives and small business owners to be able to connect IRL and adventure together!

    Hey Chereen hope all is well. Just a quick question do you "block" your hats at all? I know some knitters do but I was wondering do we have to? And what the benefits might be. I have to be honest I've never done it with any of my hats. So im just curious should I be blocking? Thank you love love your work!!! ❤❤ always waiting on a new vlog 🥰😍🤩

    • @smeenymadewild
      @smeenymadewild 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hi hi! Thank you for being here!! I know some people do, but I haven’t ever found it necessary to block my hats. Even with colorwork, I’ll basically stretch the hat a bit and smooth the stitches and it works beautifully!

    • @graces5846
      @graces5846 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @smeenymadewild wonderful ok 👍🏻. That's what I do. I pretty much give it a little stretch in like a circle from the inside just a bit and then off to the next one. Wonderful with the feed back. Yeah I just wanted to get your opinion. Didn't know if I needed to start cause I notice other knitters did. Awesomeness 👌 👏 👍🏻 😍 💖 thanks again

    I’m still processing everything too… This vlog really hits home. I still have a full time job but enjoy doing creative endeavors on the side. I have been in a season of the pause and wanting to pivot for a couple of years now. I have felt burn out with crocheting and macrame (still want to learn how to knit though 😉) and have felt a strong urge to pivot to flower gardening and learning to sew. I’m really sorry for the losses you’ve experienced. Between both mine and my husband’s families, we’ve had a lot happen health wise over the last few years and it really opened our eyes to what truly matters. We’ve been traveling a little more and prioritizing experiences over things. I just want to let you know that I have really enjoyed the vlogs and following you on IG. Thanks for sharing your adventures, biz tips and honest feelings🧡.

Of course I wish those things hadn’t happened but at the same time I’m grateful that they’ve led me here💛 I hope it’s leading you in a more aligned direction too! Especially if you’re feeling some burnout, it would be so fun to explore some new creative things! I’m glad you’re enjoying the vlogs☺️ I’m grateful to have you in this community!

I'm still on my way back, but I think you're special. I've always been a free spirit, just seem to rub people the wrong way. I'm sorry for your losses. Isn't it great to be able to share your life with an animal?? My cat, Pumpkin, is turning 14 in February, and he's such my guy. Sorry for being all over the place, I want you to know you're inspirational! Thanks 😊!!

    I have been inspired to start making the Japanese Knot bag to sell. I love mixing colors and want to make seasonal bags an monthly bags. I thought I would make a dozen or so bags as samples. I did consign at a local shop but was not too successful. I think that arrangement was not for me because I was making what the owner suggested, not necessarily what I wanted to sell.

      @smeenymadewild 27 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hi!! I use the same basic calculation to cover all of the material costs, labor, and $3-5 for over head then make sure to mark it up enough to where I feel comfortable and where if the shop wants to double that price it still feels comfortable if that makes sense? So I create a linesheet with what I need to make on wholesale and present that to the shop.

    Thank you for this video. I think the economy has changed since 2020. Many small businesses thrived A LOT during that time. Now it's more difficult. Craft/vendor fairs are my go to for right now.

      Totally agree! And there really is so much more noise now! People are seeking connection and I've definitely seen my sales from local shops and markets do better these days!

    Great video. I’m also a small buzzness owner, harvesting honey from our bees and creating many products with beeswax. I have to ask, where did you get your shirt from. Super cute.

      Thank you! And wow! Your biz sounds so cool! What types of products do you make with the beeswax? The fleece hoodie is from Youer! Her stuff is amazing and it's also a woman-led business...she also focuses a lot on supply chain transparency!

      @@smeenymadewild anything made with beeswax basically. lol. I make beeswax wraps, candles, luminaries and sachets using dehydrated fruit and pressed florals. Lip balms, bug repellent, itch sticks and my proudest product is ECZ-Balm. I have helped so many people keep evasive skin conditions at bay. Not a cure of course but a natural solution of making it disappear as long as it’s applied daily. Enjoy your videos and keep up the great work. Love your beanies. They look super comfy and soft.

    I'm sooo happy the algorithm showed me your video. I also am a small business owner and completely gave up on social media. I just work on orders as they come in via etsy and focus on craft fair, but I'm trying to reconstruct my business too.

    • @smeenymadewild
      @smeenymadewild หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yay!! And yes yes! I've seen so many other small biz friends give up or get SO discouraged, but I really do think the social media game has changed! Glad you're focusing on Etsy and craft fairs. Pivoting is hard, but so worth it when it feels aligned!
