About Me

Hey there! I’m Francine aka The Organised Crafterbrain.

What’s a crafterbrain you ask? Well it’s the brain of a multi-passionate creative person who knows where to find her stuff, how to plan out her projects, and how to make time to make all the things!

If your craft room, office, or studio situation overwhelms you right now, stick around and learn how to turn that scatterbrain into a crafterbrain!

Meet the Maker - One of the fun parts of publishin

Meet the Maker - One of the fun parts of publishing my notebooks and planners is when I receive the physical copy! It's still so amazing to me to see the transformation from idea, to digital designs, to an actual book I can hold and flip through.

Saturday silliness! . . . . . . . .

My super fancy set-up for filming videos! Stacks of books and magazines come in very handy as stands for my light and phone holder.

Meet the Maker Day 20 - Glow Up.

This one got a makeover, plus a hardcover version. Much happier with these colours! Swipe to see the original.

Pretty much all my planners and journals are born

Pretty much all my planners and journals are born out of a need that I have had. Of course not everything is needed by others, so after I get an idea, the next step is market research. Once I determine that it's a viable idea, I then start to work out the interior content, and the layout. Then it's off to Illustrator to design the pages, and the all important cover. Once those are finalised, I submit the document, and hope that no changes need to be made, and that my new design will be be approved quickly and listed for sale. Et voilà !

This particular journal for crafters is available in the shop, and is also included in the Modern Maker's Society level in the Collective.

Meet the Maker - Small

I'm sharing a message to all my fellow small business people, because I know how it is! I've been so inspired by all the posts I've seen so far this month and the réalisation of how powerful we really are.

🦄 Embrace your uniqueness:

Being small allows us to be unique and stand out from the crowd. We can embrace our uniqueness and make it our selling point.

✅Focus on quality

As small businesses, we have the ability to focus on quality over quantity. We can use this advantage to create high-quality products that are unique and valuable to our customers.

🙋🏾‍♀️Personalize offerings: One advantage of being small is the ability to provide a personalized touch to products and services. We can take advantage of this by getting to know our customers and tailoring our offers to their needs.

🤝🏾Build relationships:

Being small means we have the opportunity to build strong relationships with our customers and fellow makers. We can advantage of this by engaging and building a strong community, and by collaborating with other small businesses like ours.

So Maker Community, I see you ! As they say in Jamaica "We likkle, but we talawah!". We are small, but mighty!

Grab your favourite planner! These are my most pop

Grab your favourite planner! These are my most popular: 3 different versions of Craft planners, a meal planner, and one for seed sowing.

Planners are kind of my jam, and I am always trying to come up with useful ones. What part of your life do you wish there was a planner for?

How do you recharge? Knitting is currently my number one way, it's rare that there's a day I don't find time to do at least a few rows, but I also recharge with my IG hobby of reading, making art, journaling, and getting together with good friends for wonderful communal meals.

Meet The Maker - Finishing Touches (just realised that I switched today and yesterday!)

I add this note at the end of all my publications: an invitation to join my community. I'm using this last page for testing pens in my Bujo.

Meet The Maker: Trial and Error
Sometimes my first idea just doesn't work! I always make sure to revise, update and iterate my designs. I aim for a good balance of form and function.
