Some weeks can feel a bit heavy…
Loving what you do doesn’t mean it’s easy.

Sorry Biscuit members!!
I should have created this toolkit a long time ago….heres what 10 years of selling with creative businesses for Xmas, looks like in 2026!

Selling season is here and you can’t find the 14 notebooks with ideas, YouTube video notes and where you wrote the advice from that local enterprise office webinar ( y’know the one you doodled your way through? )

I struggle with that stuff too so I created The Christmas Toolkit which gives you four fill-in tools that turn your answers into a Christmas plan that makes sense.

Built for artists, makers and small craft businesses from 10 years of experience working with ye guys.
15 makers grabbed it in the first 30 minutes… ( yeah I’m showing off 😬) lots of great feedback yay!

Heads up! The launch price goes up tomorrow at 11am - grab it for €19.99 until Tuesday 11am, then €29.99.
 One-off payment. Instant access.

👉 Get yours at the link in bio.
 Not ready for that yet hit the biscuit factory website and look at our best sellers! 💪🕺💪

Voices are gathering - 29th 30th September in RDS Dublin.

Our sector needs diverse conversations to understand the deep value on the gold we hold close… Creativity.

* We can feel this need from the recent thread of conversation related to the basic income for the arts. Thank you for participating & sharing your voice. *

In May 2025 I witnessed such dialogue specific to Irish craft in the RDS. These specific dialogues were curated by the inspiring |
with the loyal support of an incredible network of passionate talented craft professionals who all share an absolute love for Irish Craft and its future.

These voices and conversations are gathering again.
Tuesday 29th & 30th of September. I have butterflies at the thought of experiencing the magic in a room full of creative people- last May blew me away.

I will report back from the event but for now I want to say this… creative voices matter. Craft matters.

Discussions are important, for the future of craft - of supports and infrastructure and most importantly, to recognise & value the humans who create the work.

I will continue to shout about this and will never stop. You, the human behind the work - YOU ARE THE GOLD.

We need voices to gather - collectively pursing the common good via creative work now and for future generations.

This week Threading Europe will explore critical topics about the future of craft in Ireland and across Europe.

Tickets are sold out but if you want to share any thoughts or questions regarding craft & it’s future please drop below 👇🏼

Step 1 of making money this Christmas isn’t posting more! (Yaaay!)

Most creatives open the season by making more stock, posting more content and saying YES to everything!

That is NOT step 1.
It’s the fastest way to burn out before December even kicks off.

Do these 3 things first…
1. Define your hero range - not everything you make or have in stock is the focus for Christmas selling. (That’s the curation bit)

2. Build 3 bundles of products in 3 price points. Entry, mid, higher.

3. Get a basic product sheet ready. What you sell, price point and think about what that product is actually bringing to the customer. Pricing, pitching and content you create sits on the back of that.

If ya skip this bit everything else is guesswork. Gift guides, promotion, pricing…. It gets fuzzy!

Follow me for 4 steps for making money this Christmas and if you want to tear out your eyes right now comment the word TOOLKIT and I’ll send you a link to help! 🧡

The starving artist myth is bu****it. Here’s the actual problem.
Nobody teaches artists and makers the money side of things
It’s not a personal failing even though it feels that way to many, it’s a training gap, and Christmas is exactly when it hits hardest.

This is Part 1 of a 4-part series on how to make money as a Creative this Christmas.

No fluff, just the steps: what to sell, what to charge, how to get in front of buyers. FOLLOW so you don’t miss it and share so other creatives get to see this.

I built a FREE checklist that walks through the whole thing.
Comment CHRISTMAS and I’ll send it your way.
