Lets meet our guest for this week's Blog Hop
Name: Fausat Adegeye
Well, first I am a seamstress and now I bead too. I came about sewing at a very young age and I had my tutor back then who taught me all I know about sewing. As I grew up, I developed on this skill and I have been able to really acheieve a lot and this has brought joy to me. I recently learned the art of bead making even when I have been fascinated with it for a very long time. Being a mother, wife and schooling hasn't made it any easier but I'm glad I finally got around to it.
Sure! I sell my beads to my friends, neighbours and religious partners including my collleague at the office and a whole lot more. At first selling my bead creations was a bit difficult and I had to market by wearing and it eventually paid off. As regards being a seamstress is really a lucrative and tasking job and so long as you are good then of course the money start coming in.
1 Not starting my Beading buisness early enough not that I regret it but if I had it I would have more clientel
2 I have learnt that in this business you have to be consisitent and hardworking and you never never give up
3 Pray!
To me success is a mental effort. You have to make up your mind that you want to succeed and that you have what it takes to succeed. It is never giving up!
Sincerely, I haven't reached success and I'm aspiring towards it. The world is changing rapidly and we just have to move with it. A successful woman of a minute ago might loose her success status if she does not update herself mentally, physically, emotionally, financially and spiritually.
Its a constant effort and while aspiring it stay focused and be happy.
I am working on getting a better workspace somewhere around my house and I look forward to having my blog.
Now that you've seen some of our talent here in Nigeria - why not head over to another corner of the world and check out the creativity there.....

Do you sell your creations? If so, how, and is it profitable?

What mistakes have you made or lessons you have learned?
1 Not starting my Beading buisness early enough not that I regret it but if I had it I would have more clientel
2 I have learnt that in this business you have to be consisitent and hardworking and you never never give up
3 Pray!
What to you is success? Have you reached it yet, or are you on your way towrads success?
To me success is a mental effort. You have to make up your mind that you want to succeed and that you have what it takes to succeed. It is never giving up!
Sincerely, I haven't reached success and I'm aspiring towards it. The world is changing rapidly and we just have to move with it. A successful woman of a minute ago might loose her success status if she does not update herself mentally, physically, emotionally, financially and spiritually.

The jewelry really is awesome. I love the earrings, so shiny! It's great to see more artists from places that are less familiar and look at what they create. I really think where and how we live has lots to do with our art. Looking forward to next week's round! ;O)
