For the past year, I have been working mostly full time as an artisan. Before that, I had a day job and squeezed my studio time into days off that were already jam packed with chores and errands.
I always thought it would be amazing to devote myself completely to my craft and wondered what my days would be like. I spend the vast majority of my time weaving, but there is also a lot of work that goes into the running of a business. I recently finished a business program that really changed the way I work and the structure of my days has changed a lot. We have a live/work studio, so on most days I don’t leave the house, which can sometimes feel a bit claustrophobic.

Here’s a glimpse into my recent (super-glamorous) schedule, so you can see what it’s like for yourself!
Wednesday:
7:30 - rise and shine (yeah, I know, that’s super late, I’m working on it, I swear!)
7:30-9:00 - computer work. (Today it was working on my wholesale line sheet and figuring out a password protected area of my website for wholesale ordering.)
9:00-9:30 - yoga
9:15 - boyfriend leaves for work
9:30-10:30 - breakfast, shower, walk the dog (who has to sniff EVERYTHING)
 |
| Recent work in progress! |
2:00-2:15 - lunch break (leftovers - no cooking today!)
2:15-4:00 - more weaving
4:00-4:15 - another dog walk (again with the sniffing)
 |
| He's cute, though, so it's worth it! |
4:15-7:00 - still more weaving
7:00 - boyfriend returns from work
7:00-8:30 - cooking, dinner, Netflixing (currently: Boss)
8:30-11:00 - more computer work while Netflixing (tonight it's this blog post, an email blast, and a ton of emails)
11:00-12:00 - relaxing and reading
A lot of my days look like this, although I don’t always work in the evening. Usually, I do some finishing work (fringe twisting, hand sewing, etc.) on the couch, but most of my finishing work gets done while I'm at shows, so I’ve been doing a lot more work on the computer in the evenings lately.
What I love most is having the flexibility to decide what I want to work on and when. Sometimes you just need to switch gears for a while to get your inspiration back.
Do you work from home? What’s your workday like?
