Hi everybody.
I canโt believe that I have only just stumbled across this group.
My name is Kate and iโm 43yr and located in South Australia. Iโve been attempting to be a successful business owner since December 2021. I use โattempting โ very loosely as itโs taken me this long to discover this group so you can only image how difficult I find navigating a website let alone easily understand how to create one that is successful.
I continue to remain optimistic. I believe that one day I will wake up and have found that โ puff the magic dragonโ has spread some magic sparkle over my business and itโs all set up and and I magically find orders awaiting to be created hahaha ( iโm a glass half full type of girl). In my successful fairytale Im sure Puff sprinkles some magic in the form of embedding me with a large returning customer base and knowledge on all things e-commerce to keep it that way. ha
Ok, on a more serious note , my business is Kreative K8s Custom Makes. I am a Handmade Macrame and Crochet Product small business! I offer a collection of handcrafted macrame and crochet products for your home decor and personal accessories needs.
My range of macrame products includes wall hangings, plant hangers, Nursery Room decor, and more. I also offer crochet products such as beanies, scarves, shawls, and blankets.
As a small business, I like to welcome creativity and individuality, and therefore I offer custom orders also that cater to a customers unique taste and preferences.
My products make perfect gifts for your loved ones or for special occasions such as birthdays, weddings, baby showers or housewarming parties.
I am passionate about my craft and I take pride in all work and providing the best service I can.
I commenced this crazy journey in December 2021 after a medical illness wreaked havoc and I found myself unable to work my normal 8-6 office job. I have always been a creative person so in that down time i taught myself how to crochet. Establishing a new craft during Covid and lockdowns was always a risk, and looking back now iโm pretty sure diving in head first without a customer base, nor a sale against a product was probably a bit erratic of me and I realise the planning and steps that I should have done first, which would have made for a far better experience. Hindsight is great. So here I am 18mths in trying to go back and recreate what should have been done to start with.
I have lots to do in this space and whilst itโs been tough iโm a determined woman and likes a challenge! So have a look at my site and please critique away, I can only grow both personally and financially by feedback and suggestions ๐
Lastly, on a personal note, have a daughter 14yrs, Sadly my husband passed away In 2018 from the dreaded โCโ at 39yr. Again I have always tried to be positive and look towards the future despite some very difficult, and heartbreaking times. Iโm sure there are many who have had similar life experiences so i try not to dwell.
well thanks for reading my novel
reach out and chat any time iโm of course on socials too under the same name
enjoy your day and happy thriving and growing to you all ๐โค๏ธ
