A week in my life; running a small creative business in the Scottish countryside.

- In this week's video I filmed a bit each day, right through the week to show you how I have created a business which supports the life I want to live, rather than one which saps the life out of me!
I'm in The Studio creating new designs for packaging, out in the garden harvesting dye plants and showing how a small creative business can be, indeed should be, joyful to run.
🌿 I am Jane Lindsey and I am a textile artist, gardener, writer and teacher based in the middle of Scotland. This is my website www.snapdragonlife.com
🌱 The Studio Club is an online membership exploring creativity, nature and different ways to live. It costs £9.95 a month and supported places are available. You can find out more about it here www.snapdragon...

I love how you even consider the back paper of the stickers, most people wouldn't care. Instead you put a lot of creativity into those stunning self made stickers. Thank you for all that inspiration!
Thank you xx
Dear Jane, Sunday’s don’t sound that “ slow” to me : striping beds, remaking them, baking something for tea time…etc…. We each have our energy levels and have to live accordingly. I use to press flowers; you’ve inspired me to do a little flower pressing🥰
Jane, I absolutely love how you view your business, it's purpose is "to help you live the kind of life you want to live," rather than "living a life that is determined by that business. My business supports me life."
It is so wonderful to meet an artist with this attitude. Thank you for it.
Thank you x
I'm impressed with your organization.
I’m new to your channel and I just have to say how delightful it is. Your calming nature is so soothing. ❤
Thank you Barbara - welcome. X
Lovely to meet you Jane x I'm enjoying your channel so much x thank you x
Thank you x
You are a very Lovely Lady. I think you look at Life that is neat. Loved your Home.❤😊
Thank you so much
Thank you Jane. My own (very) small business has evolved accidentally after a career spent in the now, sadly, very pressurised world of English Primary education. I love the idea of dedicating specific days to aspects of your business whilst also prioritising self care. Definitely some food for thought!
Thanks Julie. Good luck with your business-J x
Lovely to follow you through your creative and very productive week. You are very disciplined and I should take note so that I can become better at organising my time. I am looking forward to the bundle dyeing workshop already. xx
Thanks Heike. I was making samples for the bundle dye workshop yesterday and I was SO delighted with how they turned out. X
Jane, Your show just presented itself thru my feed. So delighted to have found you. I’ve been muddling in fiber since I was a child, and did custom slipcovers for over 30 years. Looking forward to see what your artist e pressions shine forth . Much love and gratitude ❤
Thank you Suzanne x
I loved hearing that you try not to do anything on Sunday. This year I had to do the same thing. I found I was getting a little frantic if I left even for a few hours. I needed my day to unfold as it needed to.
Thanks Heidi - it is good I think to have a day when things can unfold. X
I enjoyed this video very much as im a naturally curious person and love behind the scenes . I aim for this kind of balance in life but take too much on!! I think your week is a lovely balance of self care, creativity and running Snapdragon. ❤ Thank you for sharing
Thanks Tania. I think it is very easy to take on too much. X
I like the folder that holds the pressed flower. When you open it looks like a work of art. I almost expect something smaller on the opposite side of the folder. Some pressed plant leaves in a smaller scale. I love your method of organizing and choice of packaging and containers.
Thanks Sheila. There is something really satisfying about it. X
I enjoyed watching your week unfold and the painting of the buddleia was lovely. You put such a lot of thought into all your products which is so caring. As usual, it was a joy to see your garden and gorgeous dogs.
Thank you Elizabeth - I’m really glad you enjoyed watching. 🐶🐾
I think you would like a channel called The Last Homely House. Kate Jackson, lives in beautiful Northumberland, is very creative and appreciate the small things in life. It’s like getting a big warm hug 😊
I love @thelasthomelyhouse - Kate is such a talented woman x
Hi Jane, I love the finished sticker you created and the care you take on all levels. Interesting to see how your week comes together with plenty of time for rest on a Sunday. I find intensive bursts of deep work are better with time for something else afterwards - I'm actually teaching myself how to play the piano. It makes for a nice juxtaposition and I find a cup of tea always works, along with a doggie cuddle 🐶🤗. Have a wonderful week 🥰
😊so lovely busy week. Thank you
I always look forward to seeing your video every Friday morning 😊 they are so relaxing . 🥰
Thank you so much Maria. That means such a lot. X
Had my Saturday morning coffee with you. Enjoyed seeing your week.
Thank you. Xx
Thank you, Jane for a look at your week. Take Care. Your friend in Nehalem, Oregon, USA
Thank you Rayanne. X
Another lovely video Jane - I really look forward to them. ❤
Thank you so much! That is lovely to hear. X
Bonjour, I really enjoyed watching you drawing and painting. Beautiful labels. Inspiring. Merci
Thank you xx
Such an interesting & wonderfully relaxing video & intriguing to see how your week pans out. Although retired now, I'm thinking rather than trying to do crafty things each day, whenever fits in (ie usually means the end of the day), perhaps I should devote a day a week to drawing/painting & another day for sewing. It would be something to really look forward to, no putting it off by doing something else & motivating to get on & do the 'must do' jobs on the other days. Food for thought!
Thanks Liz. Food for thought indeed! Good luck. J x
A very enjoyable peek into the life of a snapdragon xx❤
Thank you 😘😘😘
Thank you Jane, really enjoyed the video..
Glad you enjoyed it! J x
Lovely video Jane ,your Buddlejia labels are great.x
Thank you Carolyn x
very interesting and enjoyable video! I'm inspired to try some painting.
Thank you. And you should J x
Thank you for another great video ❤
Thanks for watching Helen. Xx
I love your bright yellow jacket Jane😘💛
Thank you Elodie. It is from a small Scottish clothing company that used to be called A Woodland Gathering (when they made this) and are now called Isle of Shee. I love wearing yellow - it’s so cheerful. X
@@snapdragonlife I look them up! Yes I love yellow too, Jane. Have a lovely weekend, hopefully it will stop raining! Xx
Interesting 🤔 thank you x
Hello from South Australia. ❤ So enjoying your channel. Also, must ask! Is that a Gudrun top your wearing? 😀 I had the same, but can't find it. 🥴 If not, do you mind saying what brand? Need another one! 🤓
The stripey tops? Yes they are Gudrun Sjoden - quite a few years old now but I think they are continued in her essentials range each year.
Would love to see how your labels came out, and what do you use to make this process please? xxx
Thank you Jilly. I scan the drawings, take off the backgrounds and then combine them with scans I have made of old French labels, make them into downloadable printable image files and then print out on my studio printer.

@@snapdragonlife It is the labels you put in the sun that I was referring to. What do you use to do this please? xxx
@@jillychandler it is a process called cyanotype - a uv sensitive coating on the paper which develops in sunshine so the parts under the plants stay white (or pale blue if some sun has gone through).
@@snapdragonlife Thank you, I LOVE them xxx
Please can you list that glue - I’d love to use something like that rather than a glue stick Thank you
It’s an Italian glue - I sell it here in the UK - but if you google it you will probably find it elsewhere too. www.snapdragonlife.com/store/product/287_supplies/289_printmaking--bookbinding/1407_tin-of-coccoina-glue/
