Some people love custom orders and work well under tight deadlines – I’m not one of them. :)

If something isn’t adding to your bottom line then you need to either get rid of it or improve it. Only spend your energy on things that add to your business profits. (Even if the ‘thing’ is fun and something you enjoy – i.e. Pinterest) If it doesn’t drive traffic it is a waste of time.

I learned the beginnings of sewing and cooking in school. I don’t think we had crochet or knitting but I think it should be taught. Waldorf schools use these as a way to develop the child’s dexterity and sense of accomplishment.

Hope this can be useful to her because these stats show that it is NOT a waste of time. It is a matter of marketing and seo.
