Starting out a new year with learning a new skill is always a bit like opening a present and opening a new one as you learn more and more. :). With this in mind, we wanted to dedicate this first month of the new year to the skill of creating a pattern which could be a crochet, knitting, cross stitch etc. This first post is focused on the software and different resources available for you to start creating a pattern.
Hello my friend, thank you for joining us on this Ultimate List of Creative Community Encouragement.

Hello my friend!!! After the extensive research for the previous post on 7 Ways to Keep Your Handmade Business Legal, I wanted to provide you with more information about the amazing lady behind A Self Guru so you can hear from her what she recommends to keep your business legal as well as hear her story. She started her business from her father having lost his business due to a legal issue and is passionate about making sure that other entrepreneurs do not suffer through the same horrible event that he did but instead are protected and have the confidence that their business is legally secure no matter your niche or specialty.
Hello my friend! Wondering if your creative business is legal or what you need to do to ensure your business is legal? I started searching this very topic myself and found the amazing Amira at ASelfGuru who has created a TON of legal template pages that are perfect (and SOOOOOO easy to fill out). While I for one like to believe people are honest and like to believe the best in people, all it takes is one person to take you to court over something and you could lose your business. Unfortunately in this day and age there will always be that one person that will see someone in a vulnerable position (i.e. not having legal policies on their website), and will be looking to make money. :(.
