megan auman: crafting an MBA - business thinking for designers & makers
http://meganauman.blogspot.com/2009/12/crafting-mba-business-thinking-for.html
Thursday, December 31, 2009. Crafting an MBA - business thinking for designers and makers. I alluded to it in my last post, but I wanted to officially announce the launch of my new website - crafting an MBA - business thinking for designers and makers. Its seems long overdue that I would start a blog focused on business thinking - its something I always love to talk about. Over at craftMBA. And my thoughts on trends in the craft and business world. Won't you join me in my new space? Megan auman on Etsy.

megan auman: one snap or two?
http://meganauman.blogspot.com/2010/02/one-snap-or-two.html
Tuesday, February 23, 2010. One snap or two? When I first designed the cozy/cuff SNAP, I added a pair of snaps at the top and bottom of the band. (Like the picture below.) After some feedback from friends, I decided to try one snap in the center (like the picture above.) I've been making both versions, and I took both versions to the gift fair, where the reaction was about fifty/fifty. So, I thought I'd ask my wonderful blog readers - which do you like better, one snap or two? Labels: in the studio.

megan auman: sunshine, bare feet and paper models
http://meganauman.blogspot.com/2010/03/sunshine-bare-feet-and-paper-models.html
Tuesday, March 9, 2010. Sunshine, bare feet and paper models. So, I know I've been neglecting this blog a little bit while focusing on Crafting an MBA. But I'm trying to get back on track. Not only do I love sharing these little bits of my life with my readers, I also like being able to look back and see how my life has evolved. So, I promise, more regular posting, even if it's mainly pictures. Labels: Im a real person. I like to see your paper models, so interesting to see this part of your process.

About a Bun: July 2010

Wednesday, July 28, 2010. Where to for faunfare from here. Something quite fantastic and unexpected has happened with Faunfare. As thankful as I am for my journey so far, I think it’s necessary for me to take a small break from selling and spend some time alone with my oils, reminding myself why I got into perfumery in the first place. To inspire myself, I ordered a copy of Mandy Aftel’s. This finally brings me to the title of my blog entry. Where to from here? Links to this post. Monday, July 26, 2010.

megan auman: "packaging"
http://meganauman.blogspot.com/2009/12/packaging.html
Tuesday, December 22, 2009. So I guess I wished everyone happy holidays a little early, because I still haven't started my Christmas vacation yet. I've been working on some new "packaging" for the cozy/cuffs. While they've been selling really well online, I'm having a little trouble with them in retail venues. Online, I can totally communicate all the product uses with a few good photos, but in person they are hard to understand. Right around the corner, I really need to resolve that. Megan auman on Etsy.

megan auman: gift fair stress dreams
http://meganauman.blogspot.com/2010/04/gift-fair-stress-dreams.html
Saturday, April 10, 2010. Gift fair stress dreams. I haven't been sleeping well this week - a combination of allergies and poorly timed allergy medicine. This morning I was wide awake at 3:30 AM. It wasn't entirely bad, as I found myself brainstorming display ideas for the summer gift fair. On my drive home last night, I had been thinking about product development for the show, so this was clearly my unconscious mind continuing to work through gift fair planning while I slept. April 10, 2010 at 9:53:00 P...

megan auman: my year (and decade) in review
http://meganauman.blogspot.com/2009/12/my-year-and-decade-in-review.html
Tuesday, December 29, 2009. My year (and decade) in review. The Personal MBA has a really great post up. About taking some time to review your accomplishments at the end of the year. Its likely that you've reached the end of the year feeling disappointed at what you haven't accomplished (which is how I feel all the time) but by taking the time to list out what you've done, you should realize that you've accomplished a lot. In 2009, I:. Exhibited at the Museum Store Association Show and NYIGF. Graduated f...

megan auman: the cost of the cozy/cuff, part 2
http://meganauman.blogspot.com/2010/01/cost-of-cozycuff-part-2.html
Monday, January 11, 2010. The cost of the cozy/cuff, part 2. I'm going to do my best to keep this from becoming a rant, but no promises. Today, Etsy included a link to the cozy/cuff on their facebook page. For the most part, this was amazing. My page views blew up, and several people purchased cozy/cuffs of their very own. But the link also sparked an interesting discussion about the price. I am here to tell you that is just not true. After all this, its pretty clear to me that I should do a better job m...
