Here is a tip for production from @dirtynailsdesigns - “I print "recipe" cards out and write my how-to info and my materials list and dimensions onto it while I am creating.  When the project is done, I take photos and use double stick tape to tape the recipe to the back of the photo. This has saved my life so many times!  I don't have to remember what gauge and what length I used.  I will sometimes trace a template onto it in case I lose the original.” THIS!! I can’t tell you how much you will be thanking yourself if you get in the habit of doing this. You can also write the cost of the parts and this is super helpful when calculating prices initially or raising prices down the line!
