planner – Woolly Orbit

I’ve had this blog for 6 months and I’m only just realising what you can put in the POSTS!

I knew you could add things like social media icons in the sidebar etc…but in the POSTS too? OMG my little mind is blown!

Anyway…I was having a think about what to post in August. I’m going to try and upload every day, so some of the posts will be shorter than others.

I’m going to do the usual post whatever is in my head and show you progress of my knitting and crafty WIP’s and finished objects etc.

But is there anything else you want to see/ know?

How about I list some examples below and you comment yes/ no or with your own ideas?

OK, here goes:

Share independent small crafty businesses I’ve come across
Share my favourite books/ craft books
Other blogs to visit
Youtube channels I like
Long form writing pieces
Personal stories/ anecdotes
Free Printable Downloads
Tutorials
Local area pics and ‘tours’
Craft content – knitting, crochet, sewing, general?
Recipes – cooking/ baking?
Q and A
Passive Income related things – Print on Demand/ Affiliate Marketing/ Printables
Blogging – here on WordPress or over on Medium?
Writing- thoughts, tips, places to go for advice, books about the craft of writing

I’m not an expert on all of these things by a long shot, in fact for the Passive Income point above, I’ve only just started with it all this year. But I know where to send you for advice and what sites/ Youtubers to recommend.

I have lots of ideas, but I’d be really interested in knowing what you’d like to see.

Also, the post about 6 months blogging was one of my most viewed…was it the stats side of things, I wonder? You’re all so nosy, haha!

So, do you want more stats kind of posts? Because that was pretty much everything there is, although I could think about doing it for some other platforms too. I’m not sure about that one!

I think, in general, on the blog, I’d like to add more recipes and more craft related content. I’m afraid my photos will always let me down, but that’s alright.

I also want to offer a few more free printables for you to download for your personal use. Any suggestions for that?

Here are some ideas I had:

Project planners/ notes
Craft specific e.g. knitting pattern notes page, techniques to do, favourite designer lists
Productivity trackers e.g. habit trackers, time blocking
To Do Lists
Writing prompts
Journal pages
Challenges e.g. weekly/ monthly
Calendars
Task Batching
Budget trackers, expense trackers

Let me know what you think, I’d love to know!

I’ve been busy the past few months, getting into designing and writing. I’m not the world’s best writer but I’ve always loved it! And reading books too.

Lately, I’ve been looking into writing as a career, I’m not ready to jump head first into anything yet. Honestly, it’s mostly still at the research stage but so far I write on two places – here and on Medium.

I’ve looked into Fiverr and that might be good fit in a little while, once I finish a few other projects first. I’m not sure though as I’ve heard mixed results about that platform (and other ones like Upwork).

Since I’ve been creating printables for my new Etsy shop which I will be opening soon, I also made a couple of sheets for freelancing. I doubt I’ll be putting these in the shop! They were just a play around.

See what you think and if you want to download them you can (as always these are only for personal use, you may not sell or share them in any way).
