  This wool appliqué project is super fun to make. Basic sewing stitches are used and all levels of crafters are welcome. I made this sweet little sunflower pillow but it makes a nice wall hanging too. Join me for a fun afternoon of sewing.

  Marketing is the process of getting potential clients or customers interested in your products and services. Knowing your target, channel and audience is very important to get the best results! 
  
  If you are a local artist who wants to start selling your art, maybe an owner of a small business, or creating a new brand, selling online, or just want to learn more about how to succeed. Come. We will talk about it. 

  This time we will be focusing more on how to talk to your audience so they hear you. How to keep your clients, and more about consumer behavior. Also, we will be focusing on how to manage your time to live a stress free life while managing your own business.
