Hi, hello, hope you are well.
I thought to write up a little about my business Squnches Craft Network, there is a bit of a write up on the About page of our website, but I thought to make this one a little more personal.
I'm Sarah, the founder and director of Squnches Craft Network which was created after my organisation skills got the better of me one day, I discovered a need for an Australian craft directory that wouldn't charge through the roof for business listings. Many craft businesses are small and run from home by WAHM (Work at home Mums), charging through the roof would be pointless as the whole aim of the website is to help craft businesses, big and small, to get word out about their wonderful creations, and to make it easier to source supplies.
At the time I was between jobs, over qualified for some and lacking enough experience at others, that was when a friend suggested doing a small business course to help make this website dream a reality. I couldn't think of a reason why not, it would polish my skills and give me the assistance and confidence needed to run a business.
Now I'm not all about business, I have dabbled in quite a few crafts myself, bead work, candle making, knitting, crochet, drawing just to name a few. I find this really helpful when connecting with many businesses and sharing ideas because quite often I've been there myself or I'll have a go at creating something and share it. Angie sends in some wonderful creations when she gets a chance, sewing, crochet and knitting these days, and my helpful fiance has become more and more interested in shopping for craft supplies, not something I ever expected but having him there makes shopping much more fun.
The website itself is coming along well and I have big plans for it, we did hit quite a few hurdles early on in the development stage with costs and a lack of communication, so I took the big leap and went it alone and haven't looked back since.
I can safely say Squnches Craft Network is owned and run by a proud and creative Aussie, for Aussies. If you haven't already had a look, please head over to www.squnchescraftnetwork.com.au or you can follow us on Facebook, www.facebook.com/Squnches or Twitter, @Squnches_C_N
Cheers for taking the time to read my post.

Founding Director of Squnches Craft Network
