***Day 24- of @joannehawker #marchmeetthemaker Customers/ Feedback***
This is one of my favourite reviews I’ve had. I love that people have my work in their lives it’s weird to think that something that I made at my kitchen table is now off out in the world but I love it :)
***Day 22 - of @joannehawker #marchmeetthemaker Proud Of ***
This crazy thing that happened once…I thought it was just a little interview in Embroidery magazine I had no idea it was going to be on the cover until I received a photo from Julie from @craftevan of her and a friend from uni clutching copies. I then rang every magazine shop on the Wirral to try and find a copy and then me and my mum freaked out in a carpark reading it ha
***Day 31- of @joannehawker #marchmeetthemaker In the wild ***
And that’s the end! Im pretty sure I blinked and March was over Here are 3 of the brooches that will be listed on etsy this week on my lawn that most definitely needs a mow ha
Thanks to all the new supporters that March has brought me I’m thankful for all of you pushing me along :)
***Day 30- of @joannehawker #marchmeetthemaker Support ***
As if March is nearly over?!
I have an incredible set of real life people that give me that second opinon, push me forward and just get it.
But not only has meet the maker given me that boost to get out of my creative rut but also given me so much support in likes, comments and just general inspiration so thankyou to all of you :)
***Day 28- of @joannehawker #marchmeetthemaker Packaged *** All of my etsy orders get sent in padded envelopes or boxes that I paint these watercolour hearts onto (I should probably find a quick more time effective way but I like the personal touch) I had my business card stamp made by @fernbankstudio which all of my brooches are mounted onto and then I wrap them in scraps of wrapping paper that I save up so currently I’m using up this brown and gold spot #marchmeetthemaker2019 #marchmeetthemaker #heytheremaker #etsy #etsyengland #indie #indieroller #handmade #textiles #stitch #sewing #cactus #liverpool #craft #flowers #floral #summer #spring #handmade #photography #yorkshire #watercolour #illustration #workspace #embroidery #freemachineembroidery #advice #maker #selfcare #exercise #sunshine #spring https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvjn-pwnri7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7mn6w1dzd0s4

***Day 27– of @joannehawker #marchmeetthemaker Anythibg goes***
Thought Id share my current view while out for an afternoon stroll in the spring sunshine before going back to finish the notebooks I started after lunch
***Day 25- of @joannehawker #marchmeetthemaker Selfcare*** I exercise alot…I run, swim, cycle, zumba and bodycombat 6 days a week with my mum by my side. I love it and its how I unwind and when I miss out on a session I feel down, sleepy and grumpy.
***Day 25- of @joannehawker #marchmeetthemaker How it’s made***
This afternoon I’ve got one of my cactus pin cushions on the table. They all start shape as a piece of flat felt, stitch it together and stuff it with a combination of felt scraps and wadding and obviously a cup of coffee that will go cold before I finish it
