In this blog, we are going to explain the benefits of shopping small, where you can do so, and how you can support local business owners without spending extra money you may not have. This is one of the most important blogs we’re going to share with you so we appreciate you taking your time to read it.

I have been making stickers for over five years now, so I get asked a lot of questions about how I do it. Do I make my own stickers? What programs do I use to draw them? Where do I print them? How do you cut them?

I am going to use this blog to walk you through my entire sticker-making process in hopes of answering any questions you might have for your own sticker business or just out of curiosity.

Notice how I didn’t name the blog “How To Create Waterproof Stickers?” There is no right or wrong to make stickers. What works for you is what I recommend for you to do. This blog is just going to walk you through my process to help you get an idea of one way to do it.

This month I was given the opportunity to interview with Bold Journey, an online lifestyle magazine that gives people the chance to have conversations about the challenges they face along their journeys. I thought it was really cool to be able to shine light on things not often talked about.

It’s finally summer so do you know what that means? It’s time for the Springfield Farmers Market! We’re going to be set up in front of our pop-up shop (at Sip & Dipity) during the market all summer long! The Springfield Farmers Market runs June-September from 9 AM-12:30 PM and if you’ve never been, you sure are missing out! You can find all the action in the North Market Place brick alley in downtown Springfield between the Heritage Center and COHatch.

If you’re anything like me and have a lot to do but have trouble staying focused and completing the tasks, this blog is for you. I recently learned about a task-management system called the The Pomodoro® Technique and I tried it out for 30 days to see how my productivity levels would change. The results are at the end of this blog.

Are you a maker looking to branch out, meet new people, and sell your good at local events? Whether you’ve participated in 100+ events over the years, or you’ve never sold at one before, we would love to have you set up at the First Friday Makers Market in downtown Springfield, Ohio!

Polymer clay is a plastic-based oven bake clay that is becoming increasingly more popular. It can be used for a wide variety of things like jewelry and other art sculptures. All of the earrings you see listed on our website are made with this versatile material. As we practice with polymer clay more and more, we learn new ways of making our final products even better. Whether you’re a polymer clay expert or you’re just getting started, we’re sure you’re going to find the tips in this blog helpful.

People ask us all the time things like "How do we get to set up at that market?" Or "Do you know how we can be vendors at this event?" (Like all the time, that’s why we’re writing this blog today- so we can direct people here instead of having to type out the same message over and over.) While we absolutely love that people see the things we do and want to find out how they can get involved, we don’t always have a good answer. Everything is always trial and error and what works for us might not work for you. Sometimes things just fall into our lap like it was fate and sometimes we work extremely hard to stand out to get involved.

So where should you start?

During the winter months your plants will go through changes, just like the weather outside, and they’ll have to adapt to keep thriving. There will be less sunlight and colder temperatures so the growing conditions in your house will change and you’ll have to help your plants adjust accordingly.

This year we set some realistic goals for ourselves and our business. Some of these goals were easily attainable and others we knew we would have to work for. Without struggle, there can’t be progress they say and well, whoever “they” is, they were right.
