    biz post dot and lil entrepreneurship fear indie business self-employment small business uncertainty worry



    I used to post a lot more small business related posts, about the fears and stretching and growing and skill-learning that go along with being an entrepreneur or giving it all to one project or idea. It's not that I have less to say on the matter, it's just that the posts don't seem to flow on this subject the way they used to. I've found myself wondering this week why they are happening less...

Dot & Lil is still for sale from our web shop, as well, but we will be keeping our Etsy shop well stocked from now on too. What do you think of the new picture style and banner in our Etsy shop?

    When I was in California this winter, there were things that made me think about Dot & Lil (though let's be honest, when do I NOT think about Dot & Lil?) The wafting smell of jasmine on L.A. streets, searching for eucalyptus leaves near the Griffith Observatory, eating my first Satsuma, which I blogged about here, and visiting the FIDM Perfume Museum.

    The thing that I most wanted to do in Los...

    Today is my first day back in the studio after spending just over a week in Toronto at the One of a Kind spring show.

    It isn't quite thanksgiving yet, but I'm overflowing with thankfulness these days! Last night, I hosted a small gathering to thank the Dot & Lil helpers who helped me get a big order out the door in the past few weeks. I couldn't, absolutely couldn't, have done it without them. It was a lovely evening.

    I made bow pasta with ricotta, spinach, pine nuts and chorizo sausage that was loosely inspired...

    Just a little heads up. Some Dot & Lil prices will be going up, starting the 1st of April. And it won't, sorry to tell you, be April Fool's Day related! So, grab some goodies at the old prices before they're gone! Supplies and raw materials costs have skyrocketed, much like food prices in your grocery store lately, so though I love to give you guys a bargain wherever I can I had to make some...

    Lily of the valley reminds me of my Mom. Vanilla will always, always remind me of my friend Eliza. The Body Shop scents all pretty generally remind me of the country house where we spent summers when I was a kid, or my sister. Yes, The Body Shop's Dewberry fragrance is like my teenaged sister in a bottle. Do they still make that? The other smell that snaps me back to idolatry of my older sister is...

This month we have @LittleAnimation from The Animated Woman and @MathieuPipe. And as of today and thanks to the...

    A short movie about entrepreneurship. Anyone who knows me or follows me knows this is my passion, a topic close to my heart! Apparently, entrepreneurs are classified as being happier than any other type of worker. That’s me! Great little film by Dan McComb and Ben Medina. You can read about the film

    I was floating along on Twitter today talking to some people as always and having a great time, when I saw a tweet from @PrettyProject.

When I followed the link on her twitter profile to Pretty ProjectI found a...

    I heard a lot of people talking throughout January about their resolutions. I heard a lot of other people talk about how they though resolutions were silly...why pretend you were going to change and make a usually brief stab at something, just to then forget about it again until next New Year?

    I never make "resolutions". But I do set...

    I don't know about you, but winter is starting to get to me! The slush, cold and gray are starting to make cracks in my usually happy, positive attitude.
