Big news
Dear reader,
Writing you with a leap of faith and some big, big news. In the scariest yet most certain decision of my career, I’m excited to share that I’m taking Finishing Fairy full time!
Here’s a little quick POV video from me about it.
Note: I filmed this yesterday, and you may have seen the brand changes and shop go live since recording it (#entrepreneurship)
With my increased focus here, exciting changes are coming and I wanted to fill you in.
New courses
New products
New membership tiers and options
And a new look and feel
All of this will be implemented in the coming weeks, but if you want to be the first to know, give my little video above a watch or read below.
New Courses
My first mini-course: Cording Camp - April 21 - May 23
You can learn more about my first mini-course here.
Courses are deep dives on specific topics. Some of these resources, like calculators and select videos will make their way over here, but if you want 5 weeks of focus on improving your cording, this online class may be right for you. Registration closes Friday, April 4 at 5 PM ET.
The Needlepoint Finishing Shop
We have a mini store now!! Think of it like a college bookstore (focusing on stuff to support your learning). While I don’t want a large e-commerce store, I *do* want to equip you all with the basic tools you need to start off on the right foot. I’ll be launching more products soon.
New Brand
Inspired by the craft movement of the 1950s, and brimming with boldness, vibrancy, and fun, Finishing Fairy is getting a little glow up. Read more about the rebrand at the post below. Hope you like it.
Hooray! A Rebrand Story
For those of you who may be curious, I included some details below about the rebrand. I’m a marketer by trade, so this stuff is always pretty fun for me and maybe it is for you, too. I absolutely lov…
New Membership Options
I’ll continue to have the free reader option including behind the finish, sneak peeks, product reviews, etc. After diving into the data, I learned that there are two distinct groups of members: Those that engage in Finish Alongs (live or recordings) and those that don’t.
To support both and align with the value I believe I’m creating in both the Finish Alongs and the tutorial library I’m launching two new tiers: Lifetime and Founding. Existing paid members are not affected, you all will get all the stuff you do today. This alignment is a way for me to provide another tier, without the Finish Alongs if you’re into that.
But if you’re a free reader and want access to those, you may want to consider upgrading now as pricing changes will go into effect in the coming weeks.
Review your subscription at the link below.
What’s not changing
Like I said, for free readers, there will still be a lot of great info, Behind the Finishes, and ways to connect via events like public Finish Alongs. And if you’re an existing finishing services client, I will continue to offer services.
I hope these fun changes are an extension and a build upon what you are enjoying about reading and participating here. If you ever have feedback, I’d love to hear it.
In gratitude for everything you’ve given me simply by being here and optimism for the future,
Amanda
Could not be more proud of you, Amanda! Keep going, the best is yet to be 🪡💫
Congratulations, Amanda! Always cheering you on!!!
