Sales and Commissions Tracker: For crafters and artists who sell fantastic creations and do commissioned work
Are you looking for a planner that can record all the key information for your sales and commissions, as well as logging your materials and suppliers, customers and feedback so you know for reference?This planner will help you to record lots of all the really important things like customer details, commission or sales pieces, deadlines and approvals. It will help keep a record of payments, discounts, seller fees and delivery status.
In addition, you can record key aspects that are specific to your commissions such as materials and accessories, suppliers, hours worked and material costs.
I am an avid needle felt artist and crafter. I make needlefelt sculptures and pictures under the name of Big Hugz Handmade and especially love making bespoke, commissioned pieces. I also make and sell accessories and other handmade items. There is so much information I need to record to help keep me on track, especially during those busy seasons!
I’ve used planners before but could never find one that will cover all of my needs in one place, so I have created my own and now you can have one too.
This is a great tool for if you ever need to make another of the same or similar item as it will help you with your pricing as well as finding your best cost margins. How many times have you gone to make something again and feel like you’re starting from scratch because you can’t remember what materials or accessories you use, or are unsure about what to charge because you can’t remember how long it took you? Well wonder no longer as it will all be in here – in the ONE BOOK.
You can also record customer feedback and reviews – especially useful for those days when you have artists block and need to be reminded of how well your work has been received, or when you’d like to send a particular note or reward to a really loyal customer
There is space at the back for just taking notes too – because we just need it sometimes
This book really has made a big difference to tracking my sales and projects. I absolutely hope you will find it very useful too
Thank you and big hugs

The Art of Manipulating Fabric
The possibilities for three-dimensional manipulation of fabric – gathering, pleating, tucking, shirring, and quilting woven materials – are seemingly endless. To describe them all would be to describe the entire history of sewing.
In The Art of manipulating Fabric, Colette Wolff has set herself just this task, and she succeeds brilliantly. Working from the simplest possible form – a flat piece of cloth and a threaded needle – she categorizes all major dimensional techniques, show how they are related, and give examples of variations both traditional and modern. The result is an encyclopedia of techniques that resurface, reshape, restructure and reconstruct fabric.
- More than 350 diagrams support the extensive how-tos, organized into broad general categories, then specific sub-techniques
- Handsome photos galleries showcase the breathtaking possibilities in each technique and aid visual understanding by emphasizing the sculptured fabric surface with light and shadow
- Textile artists and quilters, as well as garment and home decor sewers, will expand their design horizons with the almost limitless effects that can be achieved

Sophie’s World Vol II: A Graphic Novel About the History of Philosophy: From Descartes to the Present Day (Sophie’s World, 2)
Sophie’s World: A Graphic Novel About the History of Philosophy, Vol II: From Descartes to the Present Day is the second adaptation continuing Jostein Gaarder’s worldwide philosophy bestseller reimagined by writer Vincent Zabus and artist Nicoby.
Sophie’s come a long way since the day she received that cryptic letter with its intriguing question: “Who are you?” The mysterious correspondence sweeps our curious young heroine off on a tour of Western philosophy from its ancient foundations through the Renaissance. But it also prompts more personal reflection: What is my place in the world, my purpose in life? And just who is that girl, a stranger and yet so familiar, I glimpse in the mirror?
Sophie’s quest for answers will see her explore major schools of modern thought from Descartes and Locke to Freud and Marx. She and her quizzical philosophy teacher Alberto, now unmasked, struggles with the possibility that they are characters in a book. As ever, our intrepid heroine remains forthright and open-hearted.
In this witty comics adaptation, Zabus and Nicoby reinvent Jostein Gaarder’s novel of ideas―a beloved bestseller that has already won the hearts of over 50 million readers around the world―to bring Sophie’s charming quest for meaning to a whole new medium and a new generation.Read more
